Implantable Phakic Intraocular Lens

It is known to all that in modern society, eyesight problems can be corrected with the help of eye surgeries by altering the natural lens in eyes

. Unlike them, a new procedure, Phakic Introcular lens implant, is created to correct extreme farsightedness or extreme nearsightedness by positioning a lens in front of the natural lens.

The principle of this procedure originates from a similar procedure used in cataract surgery. The surgeons correct the patients' vision by inserting a new and flexible intraocular lens, which is able to be folded for insertion through a tiny incision.

One may often see news reporting successful implant of such lens; however, in spite of no alteration in the natural lens, more risks exist in this procedure. Those risks can be a development of cataracts and endophthalmitis, etc... All of those eye problems are serious infections of the eye. As a result, not every patient is recommended to undergo such a surgery to correct their vision, unless they suffer from extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness, because only with Phakic Intraocular lens implant procedure can those extreme cases be dealt with.

Then, let's get a knowledge how the procedure is undergone. At most 30 minutes are needed for the procedure to be done. Firstly, the patient will be asked to lie on a bed, locally anesthetized. That is to say the patient would be awake during the entire procedure. Secondly, the surgeon would make a rather tiny incision and roll up the lens and insert it in. Stitches are not possible to be left.

During the recovery time, the patients are not allowed to participate in any strenuous activities which are possible to result in a huge increase in blood pressure. If not taken carefully, eyes would probably get infected. Other results may be loosening of the lens or lens rotation. Anyhow, anytime when you experience such complications, go for your eye doctor immediately. Usually more time, two or three weeks, is required for one to recovery from Phakic Intraocular lens implant procedure than that needed from a Lasik eye surgery.

At last, one thing needed to be reminded again is that not everyone is right for Intraocular lens implant procedure as what has been stated above. If you do not suffer from serious eyesight problems, you are suggested to undergo other types of procedures, for example, Lasik and PRK. Make sure it before you make any decision of which procedure to choose.
