Cataracts
Cataracts are the opacification of the lens of the eye, the natural lens located inside the eye and responsible, along with the cornea, for focusing images.
Intraocular lenses
The traditional intraocular lens is the monofocal lens. It allows focusing at one distance, typically for distance.
Lensecotia for refractive purposes
Lensectomy is a procedure that is technically identical to cataract surgery, but in a person who has not yet developed lens opacification.
ICL lens implantation
ICL lenses are intraocular lenses made of a very soft material called collamer. They can be imagined as contact lenses to be permanently implanted in the eye for correction of defects.
Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism
Refractive defects are corrected by excimer laser treatment. This laser is able to reshape the contour of the cornea, by ablation of the cornea, in an extremely precise and gentle manner.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is the progressive loss of the ability to focus near that occurs naturally from the age of 40-45 years.
