Premium implants
Intraocular implants, or artificial lenses, are used to replace the eye's natural crystalline lens, particularly after cataract surgery. These include premium implants represent a significant technological advance, offering customized options to improve patients' visual quality of life.
What is a premium implant?
Unlike so-called "standard" implants, which generally correct distance vision only, the premium implants are designed to meet more complex visual needs. These specialized lenses are often used to:See far, near and intermediate distances (multifocal or trifocal implants);Correct astigmatism (toric implants);Adapt to specific anatomical conditions.These implants are the result of advanced technology, aimed at reducing or even eliminating dependence on glasses after surgery.
When should premium implants be considered?
They are generally proposed to patients who: want greater visual autonomy in daily life; have particular professional or personal requirements (reading, working on a screen, driving at night); have eyes with certain characteristics that are compatible with this type of implant. It is important to note that these implants are not suitable for all patients. A thorough examination is required to determine their suitability.
Potential benefits
Premium implants can offer a significant improvement in vision at different distances, enabling better distance, near and mid-distance vision. This extended correction can reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses in everyday life. In some cases, these implants also contribute to a better perception of contrast and detail, particularly in variable light conditions. However, results may vary depending on the individual patient's visual characteristics.
Limits and precautions
Premium implants can cause visual effects such as halos or glare, may require a period of adaptation, and are often more expensive, with limited coverage.
