CATARACT MICS with Toric Monofocal IPL

Microincision cataract surgery (MICS) is a type of cataract surgery that uses a small incision (less than 1.8 mm) to reduce surgical invasiveness while also enhancing surgical results. Following cataract surgery, the Monofocal Toric Lens Implant is developed to enable patients with astigmatism obtain their best potential distant vision with little distance eyeglass correction.

Toric lenses are very effective in 95 percent of patients, letting them to see objects well at a distance without the need of any additional corrective lenses. Everyday chores can be completed more readily with full involvement after this eyesight correction procedure.

IPL therapy (intense pulsed light) is a breakthrough treatment for evaporative dry eye and rosacea. The light spectrum generated by the flash lamp can be absorbed by oxyhemoglobin by using filters in the IPL handpiece. The light is transformed into heat, which causes vascular structures to be ablated.

Disease Overview:

When the cornea or lens is bent more sharply in one direction than the other, astigmatism results. If the curves of your cornea are misaligned, you have corneal astigmatism. If your lens has uneven curves, you have lenticular astigmatism. Blurred vision can be caused by any form of astigmatism.

Disease Signs and Symptoms:

• Vision that is hazy or distorted.
• Discomfort or strain in the eyes.
• Headaches.
• Night vision is difficult.
• Squinting.

Disease Causes:

Although the exact aetiology of astigmatism is unknown, heredity plays a significant role. It's common from birth, although it can also develop later in life. It can also happen as a result of an eye injury or following eye surgery. Astigmatism is common in those who are nearsighted or farsighted.

Disease Diagnosis:

An eye exam is used to determine if you have astigmatism. A comprehensive eye exam includes a battery of eye tests as well as a refraction, which evaluates how the eyes bend light. Your eye doctor may use a variety of tools, shine strong lights into your eyes, and ask you to look through a variety of lenses.

Disease Treatment:

Corrective lenses, either eyeglasses or contact lenses, are the most common therapy for astigmatism of all degrees. You may not require glasses if you have only a small astigmatism and no other vision problems (such as nearsightedness or farsightedness). Corrective lenses will most likely be required if you have moderate or high astigmatism.

Other alternatives for therapy include:

Orthokeratology entails wearing a set of custom-made contact lenses. Because the lenses are stiff, they gradually change the contour of your cornea.

LASIK surgery, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, can treat some forms of astigmatism. Consult your doctor to discover whether it's a good fit for you. A laser is used by the surgeon to remove a little bit of eye tissue and alter the cornea's shape.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is an eye operation that removes tissue from the inner and outer layers of the cornea.
