With the advancing technology, significant progress is also being made in the field of eye health. One of the most remarkable examples of these developments is smart lens treatment. Especially preferred for both cataract treatment and getting rid of glasses, this innovative method is improving the quality of life for millions of people today. So, what does a smart lens do, and who is it suitable for?
A smart lens, also known medically as a trifocal intraocular lens, is a multifocal artificial lens placed inside the eye in place of the natural lens, providing clear vision at distant, near, and intermediate distances. This treatment is typically applied during cataract surgery, but it is also preferred as a permanent solution for individuals who do not have cataracts but do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses.
Main Advantages of Smart Lenses:
-
Eliminates the need for glasses: Patients with smart lenses usually no longer need to use glasses for both distance and near vision. Activities such as reading newspapers, using computers, or driving can be comfortably done without glasses.
-
Permanently solves cataracts: The smart lens, which replaces the cataractous lens, can be used for a lifetime, and cataracts will not reoccur.
-
Provides lasting and clear vision: One-time surgery provides a lifetime of comfortable and clear vision. Lens replacement is not necessary.
-
Suitable for all age groups: It is an ideal solution, especially for individuals over 40 who experience presbyopia (difficulty focusing on close objects).
-
Adapts to modern living comfort: Daily activities such as using computers, reading phone screens, and driving at night become more comfortable without relying on glasses.
Who Can Benefit from Smart Lenses?
-
Cataract patients
-
Individuals over 40 who do not want to wear glasses
-
People who want to completely get rid of both near and far glasses
-
Those with an appropriate eye structure and general health
The smart lens application should be planned by an expert ophthalmologist and supported with personalized measurements. Since each patient’s eye structure is different, the most suitable lens type is determined through a detailed evaluation.
In conclusion, smart lens treatment is a modern and permanent solution that both improves vision quality and makes daily life easier. It is an extremely effective alternative for anyone who wants to say goodbye to glasses dependence and see life more clearly.
