Are you considering Phakic Iols (Intraocular Lenses) for the treatment of a vision disorder? Before getting treatment, you should know exactly what conditions can be treated with Phakic Iols.

Phakic Iols are often used to treat presbyopia, myopia, and astigmatism. These conditions all involve the curvature of the cornea, which can cause blurred or distorted vision. The lens implants are inserted between the cornea and the iris, and they are used to correct the curvature of the cornea, restoring clear vision.

Phakic Iols are also used to treat keratoconus, a degenerative disease of the cornea that can cause vision distortions. Keratoconus causes an irregular shape in the cornea, making it difficult for light to enter the eye and reach the retina, resulting in blurred and distorted vision. Phakic Iols can be used to reshape the cornea, helping to restore clear vision.

If you have a cataract, you may also be a candidate for Phakic Iols. Cataracts are caused by a clouding of the lens of the eye, which can lead to vision problems. Treatment for cataracts typically involves replacing the lens of the eye with an artificial one. However, many people are able to restore clear vision with Phakic Iols instead, as the lens implants can help to restore the appropriate shape to the lens of the eye.

Finally, Phakic Iols can also be used to treat corneal dystrophies. Corneal dystrophies are a group of conditions that cause the cornea to become thin, cloudy, and distorted. This can lead to blurry vision and other vision problems. Phakic Iols can restore the normal shape of the cornea, helping to restore clear vision.

Before deciding whether or not to pursue Phakic Iols, be sure to consult with your eye doctor and discuss all of your options. Phakic Iols can be a great option for many people, but it’s important to make sure it’s the best choice for you.
