Is the PanOptix lens for everyone?<\/p>\n
As we get older compromise is required in most areas of body function.\u00a0 The best candidates will be those that have a strong desire to see well without glasses for distance and near, and have realistic expectations.<\/p>\n
Similar to other lens implant procedures, you can expect your vision to be good the day following surgery.\u00a0 Your vision will continue to improve dramatically over the next week until you can see clearly at both distance and near.<\/p>\n
For most patients,\u00a0distance vision is good the next day, and near vision\u00a0improves over the following week. Clinical data suggests that results are best when both eyes have PanOptix multifocal lenses implanted.<\/p>\n
The results are very good.\u00a0 After having PanOptix lenses implanted, 95% of patients say they never wear glasses. Some patients may still have some specific occupational or other requirements for additional magnification or focus positioning.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has a normal eye exam and is dependent on reading glasses or bifocals may be a candidate. Although PanOptix lenses are a breakthrough technology initially approved for cataract patients with or without Presbyopia, it is not necessary to need cataract surgery to qualify for the PanOptix lens, just a desire to restore your eyesight at a range of distances without corrective eyewear.<\/p>\n
The greatest risk is infection, which is very rare.\u00a0 Sometimes variable swelling of the retina can delay or limit vision recovery. Lens implant cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in Australia.<\/p>\n
Once the natural lens is removed, it cannot be reversed. However, if one is over 40 and dependent on reading glasses or bifocals, the lens is already not normal. It has lost its accommodation (focussing) ability. If the patient desires, the PanOptix lens implant can be removed and replaced with a single vision monofocal IOL.<\/p>\n
The PanOptix lens is like three lenses in one. One refractive lens is for distance, another for computer distance and one for near reading vision. PanOptix<\/span> is not dependent on the movement of the lens but has a unique Diffractive multifocal optic that is new to IOL design. The optical design of the lens distributes light between near, intermediate and distance vision to accommodate vision at a range of distances.<\/p>\n This new artificial lens, which can restore sight at near and distant ranges following cataract surgery, has received US FDA, European CE Mark and Australian Government TGA approval.\u00a0 Although the PanOptix implant is relatively new, there are many thousands already implanted worldwide. The FDA clinical studies supporting its approval showed that 90% of patients who received the Aspheric PanOptix lens did not use glasses for any activities after cataract surgery.<\/p>\n The exceptional visual performance of the PanOptix lens was independent of pupil size and was accomplished by the optics of the lens, without physical movement of the lens inside the eye, making visual outcomes highly predictable. This is the first time this level of spectacle independence has been achieved.<\/p>\n Yes. People who have had prior corneal surgery are acceptable candidates for the PanOptix lens as long as their eye is in good health. Consult with your ophthalmologist to understand the issues associated with use of the PanOptix lens after prior laser vision correction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is the PanOptix lens for everyone?
