Types of Implantable Lenses in eye

Cataract is the opacity of the inner lens of the eye, and when removed, it must be replaced with a new transparent lens to correct vision by bringing the focus of vision on the retina for clear vision.

In recent years, there have been significant advances in lens technology in order to reach the best options for all patients. Many types of lenses now exist to ensure superior visibility at either one, two or three distances:

  • Far distance: It means one meter away to the final – it means the usual work inside and outside the house
  • Average distance: about 80cm like using a computer
  • Near distance: 40 cm which is the reading distance
Intraocular lenses provide an alternative to the natural crystalline eye lenses, which are small in size and fine in thickness, but cannot adapt to increase their strength with near vision, unlike a natural lens.
The appropriate lens power for the patient before the operation is calculated by devices sensitive to the strength and length of the eye
The lenses that are implanted inside the eye are all made of inert materials that never interact with the tissues of the eye and are completely transparent and indistinguishable from the outside inside the eye when viewed

Monofocal Lenses

You will see best at a distance

It is the most used type of lenses after cataract operations and lens implantation
A clustering of light occurs at a single point on the retina for clearer vision at the same distance. And because it is not possible to refract the light coming from different distances, the lens meter is calculated for a clear vision of the long distance, and then the patient needs to use glasses for the close distance such as reading, using the computer, household chores and the kitchen
You can choose between the possibility of good vision for the long distance and the use of glasses for the close distance or vice versa, as can be agreed between them by implanting a lens for the long distance with an eye and for the near distance with an eye and the brain gets used to it to reduce the choice of glasses in public life
Not all monofocal lenses are the same. It differs in the material of its manufacture, in its size, in its stability inside the eye, and in the contrast of colors after the operation.

Premium Aspheric lenses provide the best experience of vision and color contrast and less night glare than regular lenses

Toric lenses for correction of Astigmatism

You will not be blurry any more

Cataract formation is often accompanied by poor vision as a result of astigmatism at the corneal level
The presence of astigmatism leads to zigzag or blurring or headache and needs to wear glasses always to fix it
Toric lenses offer complete repair or most astigmatism for better distant vision

Multi Focal Lenses

No Glasses AnyMore>>>

While monofocal lenses enable you to see well at the same distance, multifocal lenses of various types enable you to live your life without the need for glasses.

Now you can walk and drive without glasses and you will not need reading glasses
