Recommended Cases for Anterior vs. Posterior ICL

Image
Which cases are recommended for anterior lenses vs. posterior lenses? In fact, anterior ICL and posterior ICL provide almost the same vision-correction effect, but posterior ICL are more commonly used. What are anterior and posterior lenses? An anterior lens refers to placing the lens on top of the iris. In contrast, there is a structure called the ciliary body behind the iris, and between the ciliary body and the iris is an area called the ciliary sulcus. Inserting a lens into that space is called posterior chamber IOL implantation. Characteristics of Posterior ICL Each person has a different eye size. There is a space inside the eye, and if the lens fits perfectly into that space, it stays fixed without moving. If the eye is small but the lens is large, it will fit too tightly, and if the eye is large but the lens is small, it won’t stay fixed and will irritate the natural lens. Therefore, for posterior ICL, the eye size, eye structure, and lens size have to measured properly in orde...

Is Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Possible for Those Who Had LASIK or LASEK in Their 20s?

Image
Is Presbyopia Cataract Surgery Possible for Those Who Had LASIK or LASEK in Their 20s? Yes, people who have undergone LASIK or LASEK can still receive presbyopia cataract surgery. In the past, it was difficult to accurately measure the corneal power because the shape of the cornea changed after LASIK or LASEK. As a result, the lens power used during cataract surgery was sometimes inaccurate. However, with today’s advanced diagnostic technology, it is now possible to perform cataract surgery with precise lens calculations even for patients who previously had LASIK or LASEK. Is the Satisfaction Rate Lower for Presbyopia Cataract Surgery in Patients Who Have Had LASIK or LASEK? After undergoing LASIK or LASEK, patients typically experience a significant improvement in their distance vision. When cataract surgery is later performed, many patients notice that their near vision improves, but their distance vision may feel slightly reduced compared to before. This perception occurs because th...

Is It Better to Have Larger Pupils When Getting LASIK Surgery?

Image
Is It Better to Have Larger Pupils When Getting LASIK Surgery? Generally, younger people tend to have larger pupils, while those in their 40s or 50s experience a decrease in pupil size to below average. You may have noticed that squinting sometimes makes your vision appear clearer — this is because when the pupils are larger, more unnecessary light enters the eye, which can blur vision. Squinting reduces that excess light, improving clarity. Similarly, having smaller pupils naturally creates an effect similar to squinting, allowing for better visual quality. On the other hand, larger pupils can sometimes cause a sense of blurred or unfocused vision. Is It Risky If the Treatment Area Becomes Wider due to Having Large Pupils? During vision correction surgery, the optical zone refers to the actual area of the cornea that is reshaped by the laser. The surgery doesn’t correct the entire visible iris — only about a 6 to 6.5 mm area in the center. If the pupil is too large, performing surger...

What is the Best Age to Get SMILE LASIK?

Image
What is the Best Age to Get SMILE LASIK? There isn’t a “best” age for SMILE LASIK, but it’s important to know when the surgery becomes possible. Myopia occurs when light focuses in front of the retina rather than directly on it, causing distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. As the eyeball grows, the degree of myopia tends to increase. During adolescence, vision may continue to worsen even without any specific reason. However, once eye growth stabilizes, myopia usually stops progressing. Generally, after the age of 18, the progression of myopia begins to slow down, making it possible to undergo SMILE LASIK. If myopia continues to change, it is better to wait until around age 20 before having the procedure. Does the Cornea Change with Age? The corneal thickness is actually formed during infancy. During adolescence, there is almost no significant change in corneal thickness. As we age, the cornea can become slightly thinner — typically noticeable in people in ...

What Should You Do If Cataracts Develop after Having Lens Implantation Surgery?

Image
What Should You Do If Cataracts Develop after Having Lens Implantation Surgery? The lens inserted during lens implantation surgery can be removed at any time. When cataracts develop, the implanted lens can be removed, and cataract surgery can be performed. In many cases, both the lens removal and cataract surgery can be done at the same time. For patients who haven’t had lens implantation, cataract surgery simply involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens (IOL). For those who had lens implantation when they were younger, the surgeon will first remove the implanted lens, then remove the cataract, and finally insert a new intraocular lens. The entire process typically takes about five additional minutes, depending on the individual. The most important factor in this surgery is choosing a surgeon experienced in both lens implantation and cataract surgery . A skilled surgeon can safely remove the implanted lens with minimal tissue damage and ensure...

Can Taking Care of Your Eyes Prevent Presbyopia?

Image
Can Taking Care of Your Eyes Prevent Presbyopia? In your 40s to early 50s, you may start to notice difficulty seeing things up close. Presbyopia is not a disease that comes with age, but rather the gradual loss of the ability to focus on near objects. This often leads to the need for reading glasses. Does Everyone Notice Presbyopia at the Same Age? Presbyopia occurs because the lens ages and loses its ability to focus. While most people begin to notice blurred near vision in their mid-40s, the lens function has actually been declining gradually since the 20s and 30s. The age when presbyopia is first felt differs from person to person. For example, people with mild myopia can still see close objects relatively well, so they often feel that presbyopia develops later.   Does Presbyopia Have to be Treated? Some conditions require treatment, while others are treated mainly to relieve discomfort. If wearing reading glasses doesn’t bother you, there’s no need to undergo presbyopia surgery...
