Do you know how PIOL can change your vision future?
With the advancement of modern medical technology, traditional vision correction methods have come to the fore and become more and more diverse. Among them, the Phakic Intraocular Lens (PIOL) suitable for patients with high myopia is gradually becoming known. This surgically implanted lens not only effectively corrects vision, but also has the potential to change future vision treatment options.
PIOL is a lens implanted in the eye to correct refractive error, offering an alternative to traditional laser correction surgery for patients with high myopia.
Medical uses of PIOL
Traditional LASIK surgery can effectively correct myopia of -12 to -14 degrees, but as the degree of myopia increases, the risk of corneal thinning and flattening after surgery also increases. Relatively speaking, PIOL can safely correct high myopia from -5 to -20 degrees, helping patients who are not suitable for conventional laser surgery.
AdvantagesThe main advantage of PIOL is that it can treat a wider range of refractive errors. Compared with laser surgery, the technical requirements and surgical costs of PIOL are relatively low, and the technical training requirements for professional medical personnel are similar to those of cataract surgery.
PIOLs are reversible and their lenses can be removed when needed, a significant advantage for patients seeking adjustable vision.
Disadvantages
Although PIOL has many advantages, it also has its own surgical risks. All intraocular surgeries have the potential for postoperative complications, such as blurred vision and glare, and different types of PIOLs have their own specific risks.
Preoperative evaluation
Patients who undergo PIOL surgery must undergo a comprehensive eye examination prior to surgery, including measurement of anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and assessment of eye health.
Postoperative risks and complications
Although PIOL is an effective means of vision correction, it still has potential complications, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment and other eye diseases. Therefore, it is very important to have regular checkups after surgery and use eye drops as directed by your doctor.
Postoperative observation and follow-up
Related studies have shown that PIOL patients should pay attention to changes in their vision during regular follow-up visits after surgery to detect potential vision problems early.
Through continuous technological advancement, PIOL not only brings new hope to patients with high myopia, but also opens up new possibilities for vision correction. Are you ready for this choice that may change your vision future?
