Frequently Asked Questions
How are lens implants inserted?
Lens implants are inserted during cataract surgery: a small incision is made by laser, the natural lens is removed, and the lens implant is placed in the eye. The procedure can be performed in a matter of minutes while the patient is awake, and the recovery time is relatively short.
Are lens implants permanent?
Yes, lens implants are designed to be a lifelong, permanent solution for vision correction. Once the damaged lens is replaced with an artificial lens implant, it stays there indefinitely. Lens implants are usually made from biocompatible materials that are well-tolerated by the eye and can provide long-term vision improvement without the need for further intervention. However, it's important to note that regular follow-up visits with an eye care professional are still crucial to monitor eye health and detect any potential issues that may arise over time.
