Premium Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
Cataracts, a condition where the eye's natural lens becomes clouded, can significantly impact vision, making daily tasks challenging. At AKUH, we offer advanced solutions for restoring clear vision with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). These innovative lenses replace the clouded natural lens during cataract surgery, providing improved vision and often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Conditions We Treat
During surgery, our premium IOLs, used to primarily treat cataracts, address multiple eye conditions:
- Cataracts: Clouding of the natural lens, causing blurry or hazy vision, glare, and difficulty with night vision.
- Presbyopia: Age-related loss of the ability to focus on near objects, making reading and close-up work difficult.
- Astigmatism: A refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, leading to blurred vision at all distances.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services to meet your needs, including:
- Comprehensive eye examination: Thorough evaluation of your eye health and vision to determine your suitability for premium IOLs. This includes detailed measurements of your eyes to select the appropriate IOL.
- Personalised IOL selection: Our experienced ophthalmologists will discuss your lifestyle and visual needs to recommend the most suitable premium IOL for you. We offer various types, including:
- Monofocal IOLs: Provide clear vision at one distance (usually distance vision), requiring glasses for near tasks.
- Multifocal IOLs: Designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and distance), reducing dependence on glasses.
- Toric IOLs: Correct astigmatism in addition to providing clear vision after cataract surgery.
- Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs: Provide a continuous range of vision, offering a balance between distance and intermediate vision, with less reliance on glasses for most daily activities.
- Advanced cataract surgery: Utilising state-of-the-art techniques and technology for safe and effective cataract removal and IOL implantation.
- Post-operative care: Comprehensive follow-up care to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal visual outcomes.
