Attaching the artificial lens to the inner surface of the eye during surgery gives better results than laser microsurgery. This technology should be applied more widely, according to researchers.
British experts conducted the first extensive study of the efficiency of operations, during which lenses installed inside the eye. It was found that these operations are not only more efficient in terms of performance, but more preferred by patients.
At present, this technique is used to eliminate nearsightedness is much less widespread than laser surgery . However, in the future, experts suggest, lenses will become much more popular.
In this procedure, so-called phakic intraocular lenses (IOL), which are placed either directly behind the pupil, or in front of the iris. During the operation method laser surgery Doctors removed part of the cornea. Both technologies work about the same as changing the way of light entering the eye, allowing you to properly focus the image.
About every fourth person on earth is short-sighted. Scientists from Morfildskogo eye hospital in London, who conducted the study, said that until recently, phakic intraocular lenses used only in patients with very high myopia. However, the study found out that the use of IOL-lenses safer and more effective laser surgery . And this method should be promoted much more actively.
