What is an intraocular lens?
Günümüzde sıklıkla kullanılan tedavi yöntemlerinden birisi de göz içi lenslerdir. Ana kırma kusurları olan insanlarda bu hastalıkların dereceleri bazı durumlarda çok yüksek olmaktadır. Bu hastaların bazıları da lazer tedavisine uygun olmaz. İşte bu gibi durumlar için farklı birçok teknik geliştirilmiştir. Bu tekniklerden birisi de göz içi lens kullanımıdır. Göz içi lenslerin en büyük avantajlarından birisi tedavinin geri dönüştürülebilir olmasıdır. Yani herhangi bir risk ya da memnuniyetsizlik durumunda lensler çıkarılabilmektedir.
THIS METHOD;
In people for whom the effect of laser surgery is limited
In myopia higher than 7 degrees
In hyperopia greater than 3 degrees
It can be applied in cases of astigmatism higher than 3 degrees.
TEDAVİ SÜRECİ NASILDIR?
Patients can benefit from the operation after a detailed examination by the specialist doctor and the necessary tests. During the operation, an incision smaller than 3 mm is made in the eye and the entry is made through this incision. The membrane of the lens is removed from the eye in a round shape. Then, the lens in the eye is liquefied and suctioned with the help of a device that emits ultrasound waves. After this step, a new foldable eye lens is placed instead of the lens. Immediately after the lens is inserted through the incision, it takes its normal shape with body temperature and adapts to the eye.
In this treatment method, the lens inside the eye is removed and replaced with another lens. Some of the rings in this lens allow you to see far and some to see near. Vision reaches normal levels within 1-2 days after the surgery. Of course, this may vary from person to person.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AFTER THE SURGERY?
After intraocular lens surgery, the patient must wear protective glasses on the day of surgery. The patient does not need to stay in the hospital after the surgery. If no edema occurs in the cornea, vision returns to normal the next day. The doctor will give the patient antibiotic and cortisone eye drops after the surgery. You must use these drops in accordance with the plan given to you by the doctor. Routine checks are performed after the surgery. These checks are on the 1st day, 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month after surgery. However, the physician may also change the frequency and duration.
