SMILE offers outcomes comparable to LASIK. It’s a minimally invasive laser vision correction procedure that’s becoming a preferred option for many surgeons. Here’s why.

The LAL is the only IOL (intraocular lens) that can be adjusted after surgery. In fact, despite IOLs being permanent, we are able to adjust the LAL up to three times to find your most optimal vision after your cataract surgery.

A cataract causes cloudiness to your natural lens, your vision becomes blurry or can have a halo like appearance in what you see. By removing the cloudy lens and implanting a new, clear lens, a patient’s vision is restored.

IOLs, especially the LAL, result in an improved overall quality of life by ensuring a patient’s eyesight is still serving them as they age. They can comfortably navigate everyday tasks clearly like reading, driving and even social interactions.

Walter and Rachel are siblings who were both interested in laser eye surgery to correct their vision. While they weren’t candidates for LASIK or SMILE as a result of having corneas that were too thin, we were able to offer an alternative procedure, ICL (Intraocular Collamer Lens), to help them experience improved vision without glasses.

Both Walter and Rachel found the procedure easy and painless, and were left asking themselves why they didn’t do it sooner!

Tired of the hassle of contact lenses but think your prescription is too much for laser eye surgery to correct? Let’s get you acquainted with the ICL (Intraocular Collamer Lens). This lens can be used in patients who are under the age of 45, who have either severe near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, or have certain cornea conditions that may make laser vision correction less ideal.

It’s a bit like placing a contact lens permanently inside the eye. It’s an ultra-thin and extremely soft lens that’s placed behind the iris and in front of the crystalline lens to correct a patient’s refractive error.

What sounds more convenient, daily contact lenses or a more permanent solution that’s low maintenance? Learn more about ICL in our recent blog: https://lumea.io/blogs/what-is-icl/
