Smart intraocular lens implantation (IOL) (Multifocal or EDOF
lens implantation by Phaco or clear lens extraction)
How is the procedure performed?
Sub-Procedures
The procedure begins with a cataract operation if patient has a
cataract and followed by an implantation of a smart IOL that could give fine
vision and spectacle independence in all distances.
If the patient is high hyperopic (beyond the range of laser vision
correction) or presbyopic, then clear lens extraction (remarkably similar
procedure to cataract operation by phacoemulsification) is performed followed
by a smart IOL implantation. Usually, the eyes are operated with daily
intervals.
Type of Surgeries
Mainly phaco-emulsification of a cataract lens or clear lens
extractions.
Anesthesia:
Topical mainly (general anesthesia only if patient is
uncooperative)
Multifocal IOL (Intraocular Lenses)
Anticipated risks and rate of known risks
Cataract
surgery has a high safety profile. Research published in Ophthalmology found
that nearly 100 percent (99.5 percent) of the 221,594 cataract surgery patients
included in the study had zero serious complications following the procedure.
Also, the research
showed the risk of severe complications decreased significantly with advances
in surgical tools and techniques over the 12-year period during which the
surgeries were performed.
Potential
cataract surgery complications include:
- Posterior
capsule opacity (PCO)
- Intraocular
lens dislocation
- Eye
inflammation
- Light
sensitivity
- Photopsia (perceived flashes of light)
- Macular
edema (swelling of the central retina)
- Ptosis (droopy eyelid)
- Ocular hypertension (elevated eye pressure)
When cataract surgery
complications do occur, most are minor and can be successfully treated
medically or with additional surgery.
Success rates
Nearly
100 percent (99.5 percent)
