a
solution for those
looking to get rid
of their reading glasses
Multi-focal
and Crystalens HD implant
surgery is rapidly
becoming as popular
as laser vision correction
- giving a whole new
generation the opportunity
to get rid of their
glasses and contact
lenses and providing
the added value of
near vision!
Centre
for Sight has extensive
experience in these lenses,
having implanted Crystalens since
2002 (amongst the largest
numbers in Europe) and
a variety of multifocals
since 2004. Success
of this technique requires
attention to detail and
surgeon expertise to
ensure surgery is perfect
each time. The Stellaris Phacoemulsification
system is used by Centre
for Sight and has the
benefit of surgery being
performed through much
smaller incisions (1.8mm)
than regular cataract
and lens surgery performed
elsewhere.
Like LASIK and IntraLASIK this
procedure corrects shortsight, longsight and astigmatism with
the additional advantage
of addressing age related
reading issues. The majority
of Centre for Sight recipients
of this type of procedure
hardly ever need glasses.
