How to choose an intraocular lens for cataract patients

For the average senile cataract patient, basically all intraocular lenses are suitable.

Patients can choose an intraocular lens at the right price according to their financial situation. Foldable soft intraocular lenses generally have better postoperative results than rigid intraocular lenses, so patients with conditions should still try to choose soft intraocular lenses. At the same time, there are many specially designed intraocular lenses that can also be considered, including intraocular lenses that filter blue light, adjustable intraocular lenses, multifocal intraocular lenses and intraocular lenses with aspherical designs.

For some special patients, the choice of intraocular lens is also particular, if it is a patient with existing retinopathy, because of diabetic retinopathy, there is the possibility of further fundus surgery in the future, in order to facilitate fundus surgery, it is better to choose acrylic materials or intraocular lenses with heparin treatment on the surface; For the choice of intraocular lens for the second eye, it is best to use the same intraocular lens in both eyes; In patients with total lens dislocation, no posterior capsule, or complex posterior segment, anterior chamber intraocular lens placement in the anterior chamber may be considered; A sutured intraocular lens may also be used for patients who are unable to have an intraocular lens implanted in the capsular due to a ruptured pouch, for example.

Overall, each specially designed intraocular lens has its own unique features and is designed to provide patients with better post-operative vision. When choosing, you can consider according to your actual situation, and don't blindly think that the more expensive the intraocular lens, the better. Communicate with the doctor before the operation, tell the doctor your needs, listen carefully to the doctor's advice, and believe that each patient can choose an intraocular lens that suits their own conditions.

How to choose intraocular lens for cataract patients?

Intraocular lenses can be divided into monofocal intraocular lenses and multifocal intraocular lenses according to their functions. Alcon's trifocal intraocular lens allows patients to have a clear visual experience of far, medium and near vision at the same time.

Cataract is actually a relatively common eye disease, and many patients need surgery after the onset of the disease, and lens implantation is generally chosen when undergoing surgery. Because electronic devices are constantly being upgraded, and people are speaking more and more frequently, the incidence of cataract is also getting younger. Although cataract surgery is now very mature, it is still recommended that you pay attention to your eyes and not let your eyes be too tired.

In the case of cataract, it is necessary to implant an intraocular lens into the eye, so we should pay special attention when choosing an intraocular lens. Many people may not know how to choose the right intraocular lens for themselves, so let's learn together. There are many types of lenses available for patients to choose from, and after the intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the visual effect must be different, so you must choose the one that suits you.

The main thing is to consider everyone's economic situation and the suitability of the eyeballs. First of all, you need to think about whether you want to choose soft or hard. Generally speaking, the hard one will be cheaper, but when the surgery is performed, the incision may be larger than the soft one, and there is a high risk of astigmatism after the surgery.

And it's more likely to be ** again. However, the soft intraocular lens will be safer, the possibility will be smaller, the incision will be relatively small, and the postoperative effect will be better, but it may be slightly more expensive. <>

In addition to soft and hard, intraocular lenses are also classified as aspheric and spherical. It is recommended that you choose an aspheric surface when doing surgery, because it will be clearer when using the field. Of course, experts also hope that everyone can choose a better one when recommending, in addition to considering their own economic situation, they should also consider the cost performance.

This is different from person to person, this kind of question about your future, you better go directly to the hospital, don't ask nonsense here.

Under normal circumstances, cataract patients need to choose intraocular lenses according to their age, living habits and economic conditions before surgery, and also need to measure the power of the lens and cornea. Different patients also have different characteristics, and should be considered from many aspects, so that you can find the right intraocular lens for you, which can also ensure that the eye vision is damaged. There are many aspects that should be considered, so that you can choose the most suitable intraocular lens for you, which can also ensure that there is damage to your vision.

In daily life, we must learn to take care of our eyes and not let our eyes be overtired, which can also play a role in preventing cataracts. During the procedure, the doctor needs to place an intraocular lens in the patient's eye socket. There are many types of intraocular lenses on the market, and the visual effects produced by different intraocular lenses in the process of use will also have obvious differences.

Therefore, it is also very important when choosing an intraocular lens, and you must be cautious. <>

Hard intraocular lenses are relatively cheap in terms of **, and the incision will be larger during the operation, and there is a high probability of astigmatism after the operation. If you have a good budget, it is best to choose a soft intraocular lens, because this lens can be folded, so the incision during the implantation process is relatively small, and the recovery time is very fast. <>

Intraocular lenses also have aspherical and spherical options in shape design, and under normal circumstances, aspheric intraocular lenses will have better visual effects. After the implantation of the monofocal object, you can see the distance of the object clearly, and you will need to wear glasses after the surgery. The refractive intraocular lens is very similar to the physiological lens in all aspects, but the ** of this crystal is also relatively expensive.

Cataract surgery can only be performed once, so it is important to choose the right lens so that it does not affect your life later in life.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the patient's living habits, then figure out the needs of the eyes, and then combine the various types and characteristics of intraocular lenses, and at the same time comprehensively consider the economic situation to choose.

If there are other serious diseases of the eye, which may affect the postoperative results, it is generally not recommended to choose a high-end intraocular lens, in this case, the doctor will propose a specific intraocular lens model according to the patient's condition. If the examination finds that the cornea has relatively large astigmatism, it can be decided to choose an intraocular lens to correct astigmatism according to economic conditions.

Now the cataract surgery through the intraocular lens is very mature, and at the time, the doctor will choose the appropriate lens according to the specific situation of the patient.

Ophthalmologists generally choose the type of intraocular lens according to the patient's condition, and then the patient decides which price and brand of lens to choose according to his or her own financial situation. The choice of intraocular lens varies from person to person. The choice of intraocular lens ultimately depends on the patient's condition, needs, lifestyle habits, and affordability.

The power calculation of intraocular lenses is complex. Before cataract surgery is performed, the corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, and axial length of the operated eye must be measured. Based on these data of the patient, the surgeon selects the corresponding intraocular lens formula for calculation.

The calculated power also needs to be matched with different intraocular lens constants to determine the power of the intraocular lens to be implanted.

For the average senile cataract patient, basically these intraocular lenses are applicable. The specific type of intraocular lens used needs to be combined with its own situation. Folded intraocular lenses are commonly used today.

Patients who have low requirements for visual quality and are not financially affordable can consider ordinary spherical monofocal intraocular lenses. Patients who are financially well off and who are looking for visual quality may consider specially designed intraocular lenses including aspherical, multifocal, or astigmatism-corrected intraocular lenses.

Some special patients need to choose a special treatment of intraocular lenses. For example, patients with diabetic retinopathy, uveitis and glaucoma can choose hydrophobic acrylic or heparin-treated intraocular lenses to reduce inflammation after surgery. These intraocular lenses are biocompatible and have less inflammation.

When diabetic patients need to apply lasers for fundus lesions, the material can withstand laser light well to ensure minimal laser energy loss.

One eye has been operated on, and the intraocular lens of the second eye is chosen, preferably with the same intraocular lens. Patients with cataract after mesh detachment may have distorted vision, so they cannot choose to implant intraocular lenses with special functions such as multifocal, and it is best to choose to implant ordinary monofocal lenses. Patients with iris loss of the pupil's light conditioning need to be implanted with an intraocular lens with an iris.

People with senile cataracts should inform their doctor in advance if they have some special needs. The doctor will analyze the specific situation and evaluate whether this special need meets the requirements for implanting a specially designed intraocular lens, so as to better design and select a personalized surgical plan for each person's examination results.

How to choose intraocular lens for cataract patients?

Monofocal intraocular lens: This is the most traditional and longest-used type of intraocular lens. The so-called monofocal means that it has only one focal point.

If the lens is designed to see into the distance, the patient can see clearly and clearly, but when looking close, it needs to be corrected by wearing glasses. If it is designed to see closely, the patient will need to wear glasses to correct myopia when looking far away. Its advantage is that it is affordable, if the patient has no other diseases in the eye, whether he sees far or near, the corrected vision is better;

In addition to the hard and soft crystals, the soft ones are foldable, and the surgical wound will be half smaller.

**Choose medium**, five or six thousand, and three or four thousand after reimbursement is ideal.

Cataract patients need to have an intraocular lens inserted after the opacity lens is removed to regain vision. Nowadays, there are domestic or imported intraocular lenses, in fact, whether they are domestic or imported, there is not much difference in quality and imaging. However, some people have high requirements for visual quality, such as astigmatism, and can choose a crystal that can correct astigmatism.

The above is Quanzhou Aier Eye Hospital to tell you, if you still have any questions, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed consultation.

There is currently no good drug** method for cataracts, and the only way to restore normal vision is to replace the intraocular lens surgically. At present, intraocular lenses are divided into imported and domestic, generally imported ones are relatively expensive, and domestic ones are relatively cheaper. Of course, the specific situation depends on the patient's condition.

Cataract surgery at Egger Ophthalmology can be reimbursed for medical insurance, which can save a lot of money.

If the human eye is compared to a camera, then the lens is equivalent to the lens of the camera, as the age increases, the lens of the person gradually ages, becomes cloudy, the vision decreases, and the vision becomes blurry like a layer of fog, which is the "cataract".

Just as people cannot be rejuvenated, crystal opacity is irreversible. For cataracts, there is still no effective drug that can delay its progression. Only surgery is the most effective means of cataract.

In fact, cataract surgery is very simple, and the current mainstream method in China is to suck out the turbid lens through phacoemulsification, and then implant an intraocular lens, which is minimally invasive and painless.

The choice of cataract lens has become a lifestyle choice.

With the richness and colorfulness of people's daily life, new requirements are put forward for the visual quality of cataract surgery, which is not only visible, but also visual; Not only can you see clearly in the distance, but also look at the distance and near distance; It is not only convenient for life after surgery, but also needs to meet the needs of various lifestyles such as surfing the Internet, driving, and traveling. In addition, some patients have refractive errors such as high myopia and astigmatism when they are young, and when they are old, they have good living conditions and want to change their visual quality through cataract surgery, so they throw away their glasses. The diversity of patient needs and conditions has put forward higher requirements for the functionality of cataract intraocular lenses.

How to choose an intraocular lens for cataracts?

At present, there are various types of cataract intraocular lenses, such as monofocal, spherical, astigmatism, bifocal, and trifocal, among which high-end cataract intraocular lenses represented by astigmatism, bifocal, trifocal, stepless zoom, etc., have become the choice of more and more patients.

Astigmatism intraocular lens: For cataract patients with astigmatism, implantation of ordinary lenses cannot solve the problem of astigmatism after surgery. In particular, people with high astigmatism can see distorted and blurred objects near or far, and need to implant intraocular lenses with specific functions.

Astigmatism intraocular lens can well solve the dual problems of astigmatism and cataract and achieve better postoperative visual results.

Bifocal intraocular lens: It can solve the problem of wearing reading glasses after cataract monofocal lens implantation, and meet the needs of distant and near vision after surgery.

Trifocal New Stepless Zoom Intraocular Lens: It can obtain excellent near, intermediate and distance vision, and does not need to wear glasses when reading after surgery, and does not need to wear glasses when working on a computer, making it an option to solve cataracts, presbyopia and myopia.
