Does Corrected Vision Last a Lifetime after Lens Implantation Surgery?

Does Corrected Vision Last a Lifetime after Lens Implantation Surgery?


Many people believe that since lens implantation surgery doesn’t involve reshaping the cornea but simply placing a lens inside the eye, the resulting vision will last a lifetime. However, this isn’t always the case.


Even after lens implantation, myopia can still progress, especially in individuals who had high myopia before surgery. While it’s commonly thought that myopia stops progressing after reaching adulthood, in some cases—particularly with high degrees of myopia—vision can continue to change even into adulthood.



That said, such cases are not very common, and for most people, vision tends to stabilize after the age of 20, so there’s usually no major reason for concern.


Is There a Risk with the Implanted Lens after Lens Implantation Surgery?


After undergoing lens implantation surgery, many patients wonder whether the lens placed inside the eye could cause issues later on. The surgery is typically done to correct myopia or astigmatism, but after the age of 40, reading glasses may be required for near vision correction due to presbyopia.



While lens implantation is generally safe, in rare cases, complications may appear that require the lens to be removed. Lens removal is usually considered when:

• Intraocular pressure (IOP) suddenly increases,

• Cataracts develop, or

• Corneal endothelial cells are damaged.


The good news is that if any of these issues occur, the implanted lens can be safely removed, and the patient can return to normal life without major problems.
