In addition to cataract surgery with intraocular lens, intraocular lens can also be used for the treatment of other eye diseases! Now let me talk to you.
There are many kinds of intraocular lens. Whenever we ask patients and their families to choose which type of intraocular lens after our preoperative conversation, they are often at a loss.
Let me give some examples, such as ICL, trifocal intraocular lens, astigmatism correction intraocular lens, micro incision intraocular lens, ordinary spherical intraocular lens
Now let me introduce some special intraocular lenses.
ICL: intraocular lens with lens eye
Suitable for: young and middle-aged people with ultra-high myopia and not suitable for laser myopia surgery.
ICL belongs to posterior chamber intraocular lens, that is, ICL is placed in the posterior chamber between the iris and the human lens.
The principle of surgery is very easy to understand, which is equivalent to putting a contact lens in the eye. It is a method of myopia correction by adding. The operation is convenient, especially for people with ultra-high myopia above 600 degrees, which largely makes up for the shortage of laser myopia correction surgery.
Multifocal (Zeiss triple focus)
Suitable for: middle-aged and elderly people with high myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and cataract patients of all ages who want to get rid of the shackles of glasses, have a certain economic foundation, and want to restore young vision.
Presbyopia people who want to get rid of the shackles of glasses can choose Zeiss three focus intraocular lens. They can have high-quality vision without wearing glasses after surgery. Reading books, newspapers and computers are easy, and they don’t have to worry anymore.
Myopia in youth, cataract and presbyopia in old age. The middle-aged and elderly people with myopia need to wear more than one pair of glasses regardless of whether they look close or far. However, after Zeiss trifocal intraocular lens is implanted, they can simultaneously meet the vision needs of far, medium and near distances without wearing glasses.
Astigmatism correction type
Suitable for: cataract patients with astigmatism.
If astigmatism patients only implant ordinary intraocular lens, they should wear a pair of astigmatism correction glasses after operation, which will bring great inconvenience to life, and astigmatism correction intraocular lens can kill two birds with one stone. Choose the intraocular lens with astigmatism correction function, so that you can solve the problems of cataract and astigmatism at one time.
Multifocal and astigmatism correction type
Suitable for: people with high myopia, hyperopia, moderate to severe presbyopia and corneal astigmatism above 150 degrees in middle age and above, as well as cataract patients of all ages with corneal astigmatism above 150 degrees.
As the name suggests, multifocal astigmatism corrected intraocular lens is to solve the problem of far, medium and near vision of patients with corneal astigmatism, so that patients can finally get rid of the trouble of wearing glasses and visual distortion, and truly improve the quality of life and work of contemporary people.
With the continuous development of science and technology, more types of intraocular lenses will be introduced in the future to meet the needs of patients with different eye diseases and improve people’s visual quality. Artificial lens is not only a special product for cataract surgery, but also will be more used in the treatment of patients with myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and even low vision and fundus diseases.
