Lens Implants

An intraocular lens implant is an acrylic replacement for your eye’s natural lens and takes over the image-focusing function in your eye IOL just like the natural lens focuses light inside the eye.; IOLs are able to correct a wider range of vision problems than any other vision correction surgery. They can be used to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia (the difficulty focusing up close that starts around age 40). However, an IOL is most commonly used for vision correction as part of cataract surgery or the Refractive Lens Exchange An IOL is approximately 1/3 the size of a dime. It is circular in the center and has arms called “haptics” on either side which holds it in place.

Correcting visual defects by Femto-laser

In Femto-Lasik the interior of the cornea (corneal bed) is reshaped by laser radiation according to the visual defect to be corrected. In order to get to this layer, the femtosecond laser is used to cut out a very fine lamella of the cornea (flap) in the external layer of the cornea. The flap is then lifted up, like a lid, and the corneal bed can be reshaped with the so-called Excimer laser to correct the sight defect. The corneal flap is set back and it re-attaches by itself, the eyelids can be moved without hindrance again.

Corneal Transplant

A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye. It's where light enters your eye and is a large part of your eye's ability to see clearly.  A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. Most cornea transplant procedures are successful. But cornea transplant carries a small risk of complications, such as rejection of the donor cornea.
