What is Intra-Ocular Lens used to treat?
This treatment is a good alternative for those patients excluded from laser eye surgery. They can be used to treat refractive errors such as short-sightedness and presbyopia. This means that the patient does not have to wear glasses or contact lenses (an IOL can be considered a ‘permanent’ contact lens).
Other conditions include cataracts and unusual ‘problems’ of the cornea.
