It is a preferred method in patients who cannot have EXCIMER LASER due to high refractive error (myopia, hyperopia) or because of the thinness of the cornea.
Phakic Intraocular Implantation
It is a surgical phakic intraocular lens implantation that is applied as an alternative to laser therapy for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Laser therapy reshapes the corneal layer of the eye with excimer laser beams, allowing the image to focus on the retina.
It is applied to people who do not have enough corneal tissue for laser treatment or whose glasses degrees are above the laser correction limits to provide a life independent of glasses and contact lenses.
