Refractive
Lens Exchange

An IOL (Intraocular lens) implant is intended for permanent use. As they are made from acrylic polymers, they are considered to be biologically inert.

At Prema we use the following types of lens:
Monofocal lens – most commonly used, this lens is designed to achieve the best quality of vision to those who wear reading glasses and would benefit from one eye having ‘blended vision’.
Toric lens – designed to correct astigmatic issues this lens is available in single focus, multifocal or trifocal and can minimise the need for spectacles.
Accommodative lens – this lens is moveable and is beneficial for correcting distance and intermediate vision. When used for near vision, it’s not uncommon for patients to still require the use of glasses for distance.
Multifocal lens – this lens can work over multiple focal points, including near, distance and intermediate vision.

Modern technology can provide up to 94% IOL accuracy. If a small residual refractive error is found after the surgery we can perform LASEK surgery to further enhance vision.

At Prema, our package includes a specially selected artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to achieve both your lifestyle and visual goals. We use Ziemer Z8 femtosecond laser technology, YAG laser and LASEK enhancement if necessary. Follow-up consultations are intended for the 12 months that follow surgery, although this time-frame can be extended if required.
