Who are lens implants suitable for?

The general requirements for an artificial lens are similar to those for laser eye surgery. The important thing is that the patient is over the age of 18 (better in his mid-twenties) because the eye will be more developed and no other changes due to growth will occur in ametropia. However, if a baby is born with a congenital cataract, a lens implant may also be used here.

What is the difference between lens implantation types in Turkey?

To efficiently improve your eyesight, there is the option to use an additional artificial lens, which, on the one hand, increases the visual acuity of your natural lens.

One type of implanted contact lens (Phakic intraocular lens, EVO Visian ICL), on the other hand, a lens implant can be used as a replacement. (refractory lens replacement, RLA). Second i. D. R. is often used for age-related ametropia, so in the future you can do without varifocal glasses!

Lens procedure: phakic intraocular lens

Aestehtic Myra offers a contact lens implanted in the surface of the eye to permanently relieve you of your poor eyesight. This means dry eyes are a thing of the past, you can see clearly in any situation and you will never be restricted by your vision again! In addition, the integrated UV blocker acts as protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Another advantage is that the phakic intraocular lens does not require the application of healthy corneal tissue during the surgical procedure. This lens procedure is suitable for nearsightedness and hyperopia as well as astigmatism.

Phakic intraocular lens Procedure

Intraocular lenses are made under local anesthesia in the polyclinic by our specialist surgeons in Turkey. A light twilight nap is also possible upon request.

This surgical procedure is completed in approximately 15 minutes. At first you will be given anesthetic eye drops, then a small microsurgical incision will be made on the side of the cornea. The folded artificial lens is then inserted through this opening and placed in front of or behind the iris, depending on the type of lens. In the next step, a protective bandage is placed on your eye, which you must wear the first night. Since lens implantation with an intraocular lens is a minimally invasive procedure, the healing process will also occur very quickly.

Lens procedure: Refractive lens exchange

Refractive lens exchange is also performed under local anesthesia by our specialist surgeons in Turkey, where a light twilight sleep is also possible. In general, the surgical lens procedure is similar to the cataract procedure: a very small incision is made at the edge of the cornea of ​​the eye, after which the natural lens is liquefied and carefully suctioned out of the capsular bag. Now your personal artificial lens can be placed in the empty capsule bag. Thanks to the minimal incision, the healing process will be completed quickly. It takes some time before you can take full advantage of your maximum visual acuity, as the brain needs some time to get used to the new sharp vision.
