Trifocal Lenses in Turkey
What are Trifocal Lenses?
This type of lens is the most common among the three lenses used in practice. These toric trifocal lenses are implanted through a small incision (minimally invasive) at the edge of the cornea. These lenses allow you to see clearly, far, near and mid-distance. The trifocal lens has a unique feature compared to other intraocular lenses. This feature is that it has three focal points. However, they provide optimum visibility at a near and far distance, as well as at a medium distance. It is generally accepted that this average distance for our eyes is from 60 to 80 cm. It is also related to computer work, reading of price tags or visual contact in conversation situations.
The UV filter provides additional protection against harmful effects on the retina and prevents damage to the eye. But above all, it seems to provide a better sense of contrast, for example when you drive.
Which patients choose this lens?
Trifocal lenses are used in cataract patients and sometimes in patients with high glasses numbers without cataracts. The treatment is done by removing the lens in the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. This artificial lens, placed in the eye, is permanent. It can remain in the eye for life. In addition, it is preferred in patients over the age of 40 who do not want to wear glasses again.
Advantages Trifocal lenses
Trifocal lenses provide many advantages to the patient. This benefit is generally as follows:
- No matter what distance your vision defect is at, you will not need glasses after this operation.
- It is much more cost-effective than patients who have to use glasses.
- It allows you to see sharply regardless of your eye disease.
Before trifocal lenses operation
In cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and a trifocal lens is placed in its place. These lenses are for life. The surgical technique applied while wearing these lenses is cataract surgery performed with phacoemulsification method, which has the highest success rate in the world. It is performed with drops and mild sedatives are applied in patients who wish. Patients are discharged after surgery.
Your doctor will perform your medical tests before the operation. If you are taking blood thinners, tell your doctor and take this medicine under the supervision of a doctor. However, your doctor may ask you to stop taking the medicine one week before the operation. Remember not to inform your doctor about your chronic diseases.
After trifocal lenses operation
It is not recommended to replace intraocular lenses again unless there is a medical disease. For this reason, the decision to place which lens to put before cataract surgery is an important and once-in-one decision. Trifocal lens application is not suitable for every patient. Therefore, choosing the right lens for the patient is very important.
Smart lens patients should be evaluated in detail before surgery, and both the general condition and eye structure of the patient should be handled very carefully. When the appropriate patient is fitted by experienced surgeons, the postoperative success and patient satisfaction rate is very high.
