Phakic IOLs for high myopia

Phakic IOLs for high myopia

Phakic IOLs (intraocular lenses) are an alternative to surgery for correcting moderate to severe (nearsightedness), and in some cases produce better and more predictable vision outcomes then laser refractive surgery. These are Implantable Lenses and are more suitable for correcting nearsightedness, particularly for individuals with a large amount of myopia or thinner-than-normal corneas that could increase their risk of corneal thinning as with LASIK as well as other vision correction procedures. Phakic IOLs work like contact lenses, except they are surgically placed within the eye and typically are permanent, which means no maintenance is needed except for the routine annual checkup. Ophtec (www.ophtec.com) are virtually complications free iris-supported phakic IOLs which have no match in the world, and popular worldwide Since 1978.
