Everyone has a natural lens inside the eye. This lens is transparent and elastic. Every time we look near and far, this lens changes shape thanks to its flexibility and focuses on the distance being looked at. Thus, both far and near are seen clearly.

As we get older, the natural lens in our eyes first loses its flexibility, becomes unable to change its shape when looking close up, and becomes unable to focus close up. At a later age, it loses its transparency and cataracts form.

Our own lens, which usually loses its flexibility after the age of 40, can be replaced with a new one. Instead of the natural lens that loses its properties and deforms, that is, wears out Smart Lens (intraocular lens) is implanted. This new lens is now capable of focusing both far, intermediate and near, provides a clear view at any distance. 

Smart Lens (Intraocular Lens) the patient's eye number does not progress again. Cataract surgery is performed once and cataract will not form in the eye again.

Who can wear Smart Lens?

Generally, people over the age of 40 who have vision problems at a distance or near, or both. get rid of your glasses for life people who want to have cataract surgery are candidates for this operation. The age of onset of cataract is now much earlier due to environmental conditions. Multifocal lens Every eye that hangs out far and near can see.

In younger patients, if the eye number is too high to be corrected with laser, again Smart Lens therapy can be applied for.

If the patient has cataracts and wants to see both near and far without glasses after cataract surgery, smart lenses are the first choice.

People who previously had their eye number corrected with laser, if they have problems with near or far vision after cataract formation smart lens can be applied.

How is Smart Lens (Intraocular Lens) Operation?

Two eyes are operated on different days. There is a break of a few days or 1 week between the two eyes depending on the patient's conditions. The procedure takes about 10 minutes for each eye. The eyes are numbed with eye drops. There is no general anesthesia (except in special cases), stunning or overnight stay in the hospital. It is a painless operation. The natural lens inside the eye is removed and placed smart intraocular lens is put on. After the surgery, the eye is covered with a bandage, the patient goes home, the eye remains closed that night and the bandage is removed by the physician during the follow-up the next day. The patient starts to see on the same day and return to normal life.

The same procedure is applied to the other eye in a few days. Apart from using drops for a while, weekly and monthly controls are performed.

What is the Importance of Multifocal Lens, i.e. Smart Lenses?

In the eyes provide clear vision at near, far and intermediate distances and lifetime smart lens known as

The most important feature of smart lenses is their clarity at intermediate distances. Clear vision is also achieved at distances where the quality of vision is most important, such as the distance of computer use, the distance of television viewing, the distance of access to the kitchen counter.

Implanted into the eye quality of the intraocular lens and its type determine the postoperative eye health and visual quality of the patients.

It helps to eliminate visual impairments after surgery with cataract. There are special types for myopic-hypermetropic-astigmatism disorders and eye structure.

Clear vision is provided in the eye.
