Designed to improve vision by working along with your existing natural lens, and not altering the cornea in any way, this option is for people with moderate to severe nearsightedness.
For people with high levels of nearsightedness or farsightedness, and for people who have signs of lens opacity (it also prevents any future need for primary cataract surgery).
This procedure changes the focusing power of the lens within the eye by replacing the natural lens with a manufactured lens implant selected to compensate for the eye’s refractive errors. In effect, the lens implant acts like a permanent contact lens within the eye.
PRK and IntraLASIK are good options for people with low to moderate amounts of nearsightedness, astigmatism, and farsightedenss. These surgeries involve reshaping the corneal tissue using a laser beam.
