What are implants of nitroocular lenses?
When the natural lens is repeated, the ophthalmologist surgically extracts a cloudy lens or cataract and inserts a pure artificial lens, called the implant nitroocular lens (IOL). Implants Nitroocular lenses replace the site and function as natural lenses to focus light on the back of the eye. IOL has been available since the mid-sixties, but the United States has not approved the implants of the Food and Foods of the United States (FDA) by artificial lenses until 1981. Implants consist of three key components-bound or ovate optical and two arched hold weapons called halt. Nitroocular lens implants are made of various materials, including acrylic, silicone and polymethylmethakrylate.
The manufacturer changes the design of introocular lenses for implantation in various anatomical areas of the eye. Older implants, called the implants of the front chamber, sit in front of IRIS, the color part of the eye. In the vast majority of cataract operations in the past Two decades, surgeons usually decide VLLoss the rear chamber implants. These lenses, located behind the duw, sit in an elastic capsule, which once closed a cataract lens. When the capsular bag is torn or unstable, the surgeon places the rear chamber lens so that the retaining arms fit into the angle in front of the pocket bag called Sulcus.
Most standard implants of introocular lenses are monofocal, which means they provide a clear vision for one distance. Without glasses, patients can see well at distant distance, medium distance or close range. Patients with monofocal implants who see remotely need to read glasses. Advanced accommodation and multifocal implants provide the potential well at more than one distance, without glasses or contacts, but most health insurance plans, including Medicare, do not cover additional Premium IOLS costs at the same time a clear distance and Téměře vision.
astigmatism is a mistake of focusing the eye that creates an image distortion. It is characterized by an oval curve to the transparent window on the front of the eye, the cornea. Traditional implants Nitroocular lenses do not work astigmatism. The FDA approved two styles of toric Iol, which corrects from 1.5 to 3.00 diopts of astigmatism. The risk of using a toric implant is poor vision caused by rotation of the implant into the eye, which requires further surgery to move the lens.
Traditional introocular lens implants are spherical, which means that their front surface is evenly curved. The aspherical iOL is somewhat flattened on the periphery, which is a modification that increases contrasting sensitivity. The sensitivity of the contrast allows the patient to better visually visual lighting, especially in the twilight. Other implants absorb ultraviolet and blue light that have been implicated in causing macular degeneration, a degradative process affecting the central part of the retina with age. SurgeonCataracts will usually advise each patient in the advantages and disadvantages of the implant design and recommend the implant for each patient.
