Intraocular Lens Replacement

An inevitable aspect of aging is presbyopia. This gradual loss of near vision tasks such as reading and research to a computer usually becomes apparent during middle age. Over the years, the problem is often more serious. Presbyopia occurs because as you age, the natural lens in your eyes becomes rigid and loses its ability to focus accurately.

Hope for patients with presbyopia

One of the most effective techniques to fight against the natural order of degeneracy is the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs). It is an ideal solution if you suffer from presbyopia and would not rely on reading glasses or bifocals.

If presbyopia has read the fine print of a frustrating task, IOL surgery can make your life easier and more enjoyable. This allowed the correction of vision effectively to millions of people worldwide who suffer from visual acuity decreased because of aging and other factors.

The ideal candidate

If you are in good overall health and not suffering from eye diseases, IOL can be good for you. If you must pass an eye exam and a review of your medical history to determine whether or not you apply for the procedure, here are some guidelines to get an idea of whether surgery IOL can meet your needs:

If you are aged between 21 and 80 and have known:

• Blurred vision
• Difficulty driving at night
• Difficulty reading
• A global vision that is not diminished by improved recently prescribed a pair of contacts or glasses

General Requirements

Before qualifying for surgery IOL, you will undergo an eye examination to determine if you have:

• healthy eyes that are free from disease and infection without
• sufficient thickness of the cornea

You can not be a good candidate for IOL if you:

• Diabetes or hepatitis C
• Have excessive scarring of the cornea
• You are pregnant
• Use a pacemaker
• Suffer from dry eye syndrome
• Take medications
• Are positive

During your initial eye exam, it is extremely important that you disclose all medical conditions you have or have recently precently and any medications you are taking or have taken recently.

Candidates for advanced technology IOL

Only an examination by The Khanna Institute will determine whether you can be a good candidate for IOL technology.

If you have cataracts, you may be a candidate for the IOL technology, if you:

• Are over 50 years
• Ask students who are not too big
• Have little astigmatism
• Have eyes that are healthy, other than having cataract

Advanced technology IOLs can correct most degrees of myopia and hyperopia. Astigmatism can be corrected at the time of the introduction of special "relaxing incisions, or after implantation, performing a LASIK procedure.

You probably will not be patient for the IOL if you suffer from:

• Glaucoma
• Inside-the-eye inflammation (iritis or uveitis)
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Macular Degeneration
• Other diseases of the eye actively
• Have already undergone surgery IOL in the eye

However, before LASIK surgery will not necessarily exclude you from being a good candidate for IOL technology.
