Once implanted, the lens is virtually undetectable, and you enjoy a cosmetic appearance that is natural. Typically, only your doctor will be able to tell that vision correction has taken place. Unlike contact lenses, the lens does not require any maintenance. It is extremely important to attend all follow-up appointments and schedule annual exams with your surgeon to help ensure your long-term eye health.

Once implanted, the lens is virtually undetectable. You and others close to you may be able to see the lens in your eye by looking very closely. Because the lens is placed behind your cornea inside the eye, you will not be able to feel it. Unlike contact lenses, the intraocular lens does not require any maintenance. It is extremely important to attend all follow-up appointments and schedule annual exams with your surgeon to help ensure your long-term vision health.

The lens is the part of the eye that along with cornea helps focus light onto the retina. The retina is the eye's light-sensitive layer that sends visual signals to the brain. The lens is located just behind the iris, the colored (brown, blue or green) part of the eye. In focusing (accommodation), the lens changes shape. It becomes more convex (curved) when you look at nearby objects and flatter for distant objects.

Short answer is no. The conjunctiva, the tissue that covers the white part of the eye (the sclera) forms a cul-de-sac between from the edge of the cornea to the eyelid margin. Sometimes a contact lens, especially a soft contact lens may roll up and become difficult to find. An eyecare practitioner will be able to locate the lens and remove it.

Once the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is placed inside your eye, it is virtually undetectable; however, you and others may be able to see the lens in your eye if you look very closely. Because the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is placed inside your eye, you will not be able to feel it.

No. The Visian is placed inside the eye in front of the natural lens and behind the iris, the colored part of the eye. It is virtually invisible to both the patient and an observer. It can only be seen by the doctor during an eye exam. The lens is also designed so it can not be felt by the patient. Once it is inserted into the eye it remains in place permanently.

No, you will not be able to feel the IOL in your eye and it will be invisible to others, except for a trained ophthalmologist.

Cover the other eye to determine if vision is still clear from the eye where you suspect that you've lost the lens. If vision is blurred than it is more than likely the lens is either dislodged from the cornea or has fallen from the eye.

It is normal for you to feel some minor irritation for a few days to a few weeks after surgery. As the tissues of the eye heal, this foreign body sensation will diminish and finally disappear.

A The system is attached where your hair meets your scalp and at this point you may feel a tiny bump where the connection is made. However, apart from that both you and your partner will be able to run fingers through your hair etc. without hindrance and both the fibre and your existing hair will look and feel identical.

A properly fit pessary will cause no discomfort and the patient should not even feel the pessary in place.

The lens cannot get lost behind your eye, so relax. The lens should work itself around to where you can see it by itself. Then, after washing your hands with soap and water, remove the lens. If the lens does not work itself around, try putting some rewetting drops or a few drops of saline solution into your eye and look way up, down and side to side to attempt to move the lens.

Your cataract was removed by ultrasound, not laser. In a process called phacoemulsification, sound waves were used to gently break up the cataract before it was removed from the eye. Lasers are currently being developed to remove cataracts.

You may notice it slightly immediately after insertion and/or for the first few times you use The Keeper. But once you get used to wearing it, you will probably find that you don't feel it at all. Sometimes all that is needed is a slight tilting of The Keeper into a more comfortable position - and then you will not feel it. It should be tilted (aimed) slightly towards the small of the back for the best comfort. This is achieved by pulling The Keeper slightly forward, gently, after insertion.

Yes. If you dislike the sensation, the cushion may be pulled out of it's cover, and put back in upside down for a slightly firmer feel.

The Visian ICL is placed in the "posterior chamber," behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of the eye's crystalline lens. The lens does not touch any internal eye structures and stays in position. The Verisyse is placed just in front of the pupil and is gently attached to the iris to hold the lens in place.

WILL I NEED GJune 29, 2007need it to fine-tune your vision. These are normal glasses and not those thick spectacles as in the past.

Cover the other eye, which you suspect to have the lens and determine whether the vision is clear from the lost eye. If vision is blurred then more than likely the lens is either dislodged from the cornea or has fallen from the eye.

Oxygen is essential for corneal health. Insufficient oxygen compromises normal eye function and may cause the cornea to swell. While minimal swelling is common during sleep, even in people who do not wear contact lenses, sleeping in ordinary contact lenses substantially reduces oxygen supply to the eyes which can cause the cornea to swell significantly. This condition often results in very irritated eyes and uncomfortable lens wear.

Yes, the eye is healing and may feel irritated at times. This experience usually clears in 1-3 weeks. Lubrication with artificial tears may help and excessive dryness may be present at first.

Each eye usually takes about 3 weeks to fully recovery from surgery, although most of the “settling down” occurs in the first few days. It is wise to wait until the first eye has recovered from surgery before doing the second eye. The usual gap between eyes is therefore about 3 weeks although it can be longer if the patient wishes.

It will take some time to adjust to using one eye, but almost everyone learns to compensate during the first year after surgery. After enucleation, there is reduced visual field on the side of the body when looking straight ahead, and there is a loss of depth perception. Many of the skills of depth perception can be re-learned and with time, almost all patients are able to do all the things they used to do before losing their eye.

The Phytomer Eye collection is able to target wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around the eye area.

No. If a local anaesthetic injection is used this will put the sight (vision) to sleep as well as removing feeling and paralysing eye movement. Even if only anaesthetic eye drops are used the bright light of the operating microscope will tend to bleach vision and the surgical manoeuvres are so close to the eye that there is little if any visual appreciation of what is happening. The other eye will be covered.

Oxygen is essential for corneal health. Insufficient oxygen compromises normal eye function and may cause the cornea to swell. While minimal swelling is common during sleep, even in people who do not wear contact lenses, sleeping in ordinary contact lenses substantially reduces oxygen supply to the eyes which can cause the cornea to swell significantly.

Security scanners usually read patterns on the iris or retina, and should not be affected by the presence of an advanced technology IOL or standard IOL.
