Phakik iol.

2025-03-06 09:48:00
I am having high myopia as a marfan I have extremely poor vision and dr suggested to go for phakik iol instead of lasik. Since phakik iol is an insertion of lens inside our eye is that will be discomfortable Because when im using contact lens i feel a pressure around my eyes, head ache, discomfort and also blurry vision.. If i focus on an object for more than 2 sec the vision blurs. I cannot properly read and write even after inserting contact lens... Since phakik iol is also an insertion of lens will it be same for me as contact lens

Hi... Your concern is genuine. But do understand that lasik can only be done upto a certain number and that too depending on the health of your cornea. Incase of very high power usually more than 8-10 dioptres and thin corneas lasik maynot be a good option. Phakic iol will be placed inside your eye and you will not feel the discomfort like contact lens. It's permanent and doesn't have to be removed daily. The procedure is usually a short one and not painful. Hope that helps :)

It depends on your power and corneal thickness that phakic iol was suggested.
