There are instances where the use of LASIK to correct refractive errors is impossible. There are also instances where there has been cataract formation in the eye. There are times when a patient has poor distance and near vision. At such times, the natural lens replacement is the most effective method of reducing the rate at which one constantly depends on contact lenses and glasses. The removal of the natural lens of the eye is usually followed by its replacement with what is known as the Intraocular lens (IOLS).

The use of natural lens replacement comes with plenty of benefits and positives because the level of accuracy is quite high as it improves vision substantially. The procedure of natural lens replacement is a lot like the cataract surgery. The only difference is that with the natural lens replacement, the natural lens has not developed a cataract. When you have this procedure carried out, you effectively avoid the development of a cataract because there is a removal and replacement of the lens.

The natural lens replacement uses special lens to help restore distance and near vision, the most common lenses are Crystalens, ReStore,Tecnis Muti-focal, all of which FDA approved. The new replacement clear lens is made to help offer more focus for the patient at distance and near. It basically lowers the need to keep wearing reading glasses and reduces the need for distance glasses. Most patients report high satisfactory and rare need for glasses.

The procedure is better suited for individuals who are over the age of 40 and those whose sight is a little out of the range of LASIK management. It is also well suited for patients who have presbyopia. This is when the eye is continuously showing failure to focus on objects that are within arms length. The benefits of the procedure are quite substantial.

There are surprisingly quite a few types of cataracts but there are two major types that affect a large amount of the population. Currently cataracts are the leading cause for loss of vision in the US despite its 90% success rate for treatment.

Cataracts occur when the internal lens of the eye begins to cloud. Often cataracts are a slow progressive condition and it is generally not treated upon diagnoses, doctors like to watch this sort of condition and decide when to perform surgery depending on the speed of condition itself. Once the clouded lens has caused an impairment of the vision, the clouded lens can be removed and often a new clear artificial lens, Intra Ocular Lens, can be inserted to help improve vision. Some of these Intra Ocular Lens can help provide both distance and near vision and some even correct for astigmatism.

Below is a description of the types of cataracts & how they are treated.

Congenital Cataracts:

Congenital Cataracts is an early childhood condition and is usually diagnosed within the first 10 years of the patient’s life. This form of cataract in hereditary and is some cases the cataract can be caused by viral infections during pregnancy. In this case it will be treated immediately and will give the best chances of visual recovery. Typical the clouded lens is removed and at some later point in life a new lens can be replaced inside the eye to reduce the need for very high glasses or contact lens prescription.

Age Related Cataracts:

This form of cataracts is the most common. It calls for over 90% of diagnoses. Early diagnosis and treatment can help in your prognosis of this condition. And generally it won’t affect your everyday life in the early years. When and if you need surgery your health care professional will inform you.

What is a cataract?

A cataract is a general clouding that develops in the midsections of the crystalline lenses of the eyeballs. Cataracts can vary is severity from quite mild to causing complete opaqueness. Light rays are obstructed from entering the eye for processing and the result is disrupted vision that worsens over time.

Cataract surgeries are some of the safest and most performed eye enhancement operations across the planet.

A step-by-step guide to cataract surgery:

• First, the surgeon will create a very entry point at the outer edge of the cornea;

◦ Entry point is only big enough for surgical instruments to be able to fit through;

• After making the entry, the surgeon gently peels away the top layer of the lens;

◦ This allows access to the inner areas of the lens where the cataract has developed;

• Next, the cataract is broken into smaller segments and removed with a special surgical tool like an ultrasound;

• A replacement lens is inserted into the space where the natural lens used to be;

◦There are various types of advanced lens that can be used. These lenses have the ability to correct distance, near and intermediate vision – also there is a lens that can correct astigmatism.

◦Many patients are able to reduce their need for glasses after cataract surgery with the availability of advanced lenses that are multi-focal (distance, near and intermediate vision).

• The entry point is so small that it is often watertight and requires no suturing whatsoever;

• Healing is rapid and complications are rarely experienced.

Other facts about cataracts and cataract surgery:

• Early cataract development may cause a shift in prescription, such as increased myopia (nearsightedness);

• The gradual “yellowing” associated with cataract development often causes patients to ineffectively perceive blue hues and white paper often looks dingy;

• The condition most often affects both eyes, although one eye normally is affected before the other;

• Left untreated for too long, cataracts can and do cause a dramatic decrease in vision;

Cataract surgery is a safe, cost-effective method to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of cataracts. It’s advisable to consult with a cataract surgeon and make sure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed prior to committing to the procedure.

The basis for Natural Lens Replacement dates back over 100 years with the condition called cataracts. A cataract is when the biological lens becomes cloudy, blurs vision, and leads to difficulty driving at night, seeing glare off of lights and making it hard to read. As a result of cataracts, people altered their lifestyle and had to wait until the cataracts became quite advanced before having them fixed.

When the cataracts became “bad enough”, cataract surgery was performed to restore eyesight. During the cataract procedure, the cloudy biological lens was removed from the eye and a lens implant was put in its place. Very basic lens implants were used to correct distance vision when the cataracts were removed. While back then this was a major advance. These days this procedure is now considered a bit archaic because it corrects for only distance vision - patients still needed to wear reading glasses or bifocals afterwards nearly full time.

The lens implant technology is now very advanced - these sophisticated “premium” lens implants can correct both distance and reading vision. These lens implants are precision-engineered to exact specifications. This has revolutionized the use of lens implants. Natural Lens Replacement is the use of these premium lens implants to correct distance and reading vision which can provide tremendous freedom from the “crutches” of glasses. Natural Lens Replacement has been a boon for patients with cataracts since eye surgeons now routinely use them to correct cataracts and also fix reading vision. Since the Natural Lens Replacement technology is advanced, people with early cataracts are being proactive to have their cataracts fixed along with their distance and reading vision. Your parents’ generation typically had to wait until their cataracts got so bad that they had trouble driving and doing other activities before the cataracts could be repaired. A version of Len Augmentation can be used to cure patients with cataracts, even early cataracts.  No more are the days of waiting until the cataracts get so bad that it makes driving and other activities difficult.  Natural Lens Replacement fixes the early cataracts so they will never get worse and you will never have to worry about that happening to you. This will guarantee those cataracts never occur again.  Imagine how powerful that is never to have to worry about decreased vision again.
