Product Information

They are available in small incremental strengths to enable surgeons to leave patients as close to their perfect prescription as possible. Aiming for a prescription of 0.00 means that distance activities can be seen without glasses - this includes day to day life, driving and TV.

In my clinic, you’ll be offered a biscuit (chocolate chip is the best!) after the procedure and be given the do’s and don’ts before you head home.Both procedures take approximately 10 minutes and can be performed with an eye drop anaesthetic only, removing the need for injections. The whole hospital visit often takes about 90 minutes from arriving to going home. These implants can allow excellent visual function at a set distance. They can correct shortsightedness or longsightedness. They aim to leave patients without glasses for a defined focal length, which is usually for distance vision. Trifocal lenses can be well suited to you but Mr Lindfield reassures that he or your chosen doctor will go through a process to ensure they fit with your requirement and your eyes are suitable. There are two main types of lens: monofocaland multifocal/trifocal. Both types are also available in toric (astigmatism reducing) variants.

Mr Lindfield has a passion for training the next generation of ophthalmologists and is a training programme directorfor Health Education England (HEE) and is responsible for teaching trainee eye surgeons across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. Heis also regarded as an expert trainer in cataract surgery. Whilst hearing positive or negative opinions from your friends or family is useful, it’s very difficult to draw parallels for such a precise decision targeted to your specific needs. Nowadays, there are many to choose from and the right one for you will depend on many factors, including your specific visual needs. Mr Dan Lindfield, a leading consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon in Guildford and Farnham, Surrey explains the pros and cons of the different types of IOLs and what to expect before and after surgery. The dominant eye is set for distance and the non-dominant eye is set for varying amounts of nearer vision. The two eyes perform different tasks when measured on their own but when both eyes are open they allow a seamless range of vision. The ability to read without glasses depends on how close-focussed the non-dominant eye is set. There is often a learning curve associated with these lenses but within a few weeks, patients can often see clearly for distance and near tasks. It must be stated, however, that these lenses function their best in good light. They sometimes perform less well in dim light.Some patients aged 45+ may also be eligible for refractive lens exchange ( RLE). RLE is essentially a cataract operation, but it is performed before a cataract has formed to reduce dependence on glasses. Cataract surgery and RLE take approximately 10 minutes per eye. We usually operate on both eyes 1-2 weeks apart, but both eyes on the same day is sometimes performed if deemed the best thing for your needs and can be standard practice for some surgeons.

As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, Mr Dan Lindfield is a multi-award-winning consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeonin Guildford and Farnham who specialises in cataracts, glaucoma surgery, including laser therapies for glaucoma, such as SLT, trabeculectomy, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). This is a technique to allow the benefits of monofocal lenses (relatively low cost and very low risk of adverse visual effects) whilst reducing the need for reading glasses. They are produced in sterile medical facilities and many lenses are not even handled in theatre. They are injected into the eye via a sterile introducing device without requiring the lens to be handled by the surgical team.

Since my partial sight loss, I struggle with the change in light conditions. If I move from a darker to a brighter environment, my eyes take time to adjust and also cause me some discomfort. Also, because I have difficulty with contrast, I find that wearing eye shields make things easier. There are different glasses / eye shields to choose from: Royal National Institute of Blind People.

However, in practice, most patients feel that they are less dependent on glasses but still occasionally use them for prolonged periods of close work, such as reading a good book. The glasses I choose to wear are from the RNIB – However, there are a lot of other companies and organisation out there providing both Wrap Arounds and Fit Overs.
