Smart Lens Treatment is a cutting-edge permanent solution used in the treatment of cataracts or advanced refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). With these special lenses placed inside the eye, patients can achieve clear vision without glasses at all distances: near, far, and intermediate. It has become one of the ideal methods, especially for those who experience a decline in vision quality after the age of 40. So, what is Smart Lens Treatment, how is it applied, and who is it suitable for?
Smart lenses, medically known as trifocal intraocular lenses, are artificial lenses placed inside the eye during cataract surgery, after the natural lens is removed. Unlike standard lenses, their multifocal structure allows clear vision at distant, near, and intermediate ranges. For this reason, they are not only preferred by cataract patients but also by individuals over the age of 40 who do not want to use glasses or contact lenses.
The treatment process is quite comfortable. After detailed measurements and assessments by an ophthalmologist, the procedure is performed on suitable patients with local anesthesia in a surgical procedure that lasts approximately 10-15 minutes. Lenses are placed in both eyes a few days apart, and the patient can quickly return to their normal life after the procedure.
The benefits of Smart Lens Treatment are numerous. Its most significant advantage is that it provides a lifetime solution and prevents the formation of cataracts again. Additionally, it allows individuals to comfortably engage in activities such as reading books, using a computer, or driving without glasses. By eliminating the dependency on glasses, it significantly enhances the quality of life.
Who is it suitable for?
-
Cataract patients
-
Individuals over 40 experiencing near vision problems
-
Those who use glasses for both near and distant vision
-
Individuals seeking a permanent solution and wanting to get rid of glasses
However, not every patient is suitable for Smart Lens Treatment. A thorough eye examination, evaluation of retinal health, corneal structure, and lifestyle habits should be conducted, and the most appropriate treatment plan should be determined by the specialist doctor.
In conclusion, Smart Lens Treatment is a modern application that offers significant advantages in terms of both health and comfort, revolutionizing eye health. With this permanent, effective, and highly satisfying method, dependence on glasses can come to an end.
