There are many treatment methods for patients who have trouble seeing near and far and do not like wearing glasses. Laser and intraocular lens treatment is highly preferred. Treatment methods and applications are updated in parallel with technological developments.
In intraocular lens treatment, there are two different applications for eyes that have problems focusing near and far.
Various methods are used to treat shortsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (farsightedness), or distorted and broken vision defects (astigmatism) caused by light falling on multiple points on the retina. Intraocular lens therapy is applied in patients with high hyperopia, myopia, or astigmatism. Phakic lenses are placed in front of or behind the iris. The lens, which is too thin to be seen from the outside, is produced from a material compatible with intraocular tissues.
With increasing age, the eye cannot see near because the lens’s flexibility lessens over time. This is called a near vision problem (presbyopia). Trifocal artificial intraocular lenses are one of the most used modern methods in the treatment of presbyopia.
The application of intraocular lenses, also called smart lenses, generally includes the following steps:
– General anesthesia is given to the patient.
– Incisions are made in the cornea according to the lens to be applied.
– The intraocular lens is placed in the eye with the correct application.
The surgery takes an average of 15 minutes for one eye. Although both eyes can be operated on on the same day, it is usually preferred to do it on different days.
– After Intraocular Lens Surgery, protective glasses are used immediately after the operation, and staying in the hospital is unnecessary.
Advanced laser technologies for eye disease treatments are also available in Turkey:
Intraocular lens treatment is a surgical procedure to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia by implanting artificial lenses inside the eye.
There are two main types: Phakic lenses, which are placed in front of or behind the iris to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism; and Trifocal lenses, used to treat presbyopia by enabling clear vision at different distances.
The surgery typically takes about 15 minutes per eye. While both eyes can be operated on the same day, it is often recommended to have them done on different days.
Patients usually receive local anesthesia, so they do not feel pain during the surgery. Some may experience mild discomfort or irritation after the procedure, which is manageable with medication.
