Through this technique we treat refractive defects from 50 years of age on, of both myopia and hypermetropia combined with astigmatism, in which the accommodation has stopped acting.
The technique consists of changing the patient’s lens with an intraocular lens that corrects the refractive defect.
This type of intraocular lens can be of different types depending on the needs of the patient, seeing from far, intermediate or near distance.
This decision is made after a thorough study and discussion with the patient about his priorities.
The surgery that lasts about 15 minutes is performed by topical anesthesia in a one day clinic
Reduced capacity for seeing closeby from 40 years old on, due to diminished accommodation power of the eye lens.
The eye is not like “a football”, but more like a “rugbyball”. This produces a deformed image and can sometimes be combined with myopia or hyperopia.
The person has a bad sight in the distance and even more blurry at short distance.
