Good Eye Surgeons Can Add Value To Patients’ Lives

1. Good Eye Surgeons Can Add Value To Patients’ Lives It is often said that we only appreciate our senses when we lose them, such as when we start to experience problems with eyesight and vision. In many cases wearing glasses is a good option, but very often the input of a good eye surgeon, the ophthalmologist, is essential. This happens when conditions develop that cause severe problems, such as, say, glaucoma, cataracts, and other conditions that limit eyesight. In some cases, blindness becomes a real threat. Fortunately, the world of medicine has developed in recent decades, and more procedures than years ago are now the order of the day to ensure that eye specialists can assist patients that struggle with limited eyesight or conditions that cause them stress and uncertainty. Advanced processes and technology make it possible to treat more conditions than before, and treatments show higher success rates than in the past - and more conditions than in the past are treated faster and more effectively these days. Good surgeons such as ophthalmologists are the ones that help ensure people have greater access to treatment and improved vision. A good example is a cataract that has caused so much distress in the past; these days laser and other treatments take care of this issue. The same is true for other procedures such as the refractive lens exchange surgery which many patients opt for. A good starting point will always be the eye surgeon one approaches. All over the world this procedure, and various other forms of treatment, are offered by knowledgeable, experienced eye surgeons who make sure they stay abreast of the latest techniques and treatments that patients approach them. In a city such as London, for example, the world-renowned Moorfields Private Eye Hospital employs the services of well-known, highly respected ophthalmic surgeons that can add value to the lives of so many people with their knowledge and expertise as they offer patients the best surgery and treatment for conditions. One such procedure that more and more patients are enquiring about is the refractive lens exchange surgery that is often performed at Moorfields these days. This procedure is performed to enhance vision over different distances, right from nearsightedness to intermediate vision improvement and also farsightedness. It is often enquired about by older people who do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses, although it can also be requested by younger people that feel they can benefit from this procedure. A good eye surgeon performs these procedures quickly and makes sure their patients suffer almost no discomfort during the procedure. The surgeon will use either laser or standard phacoemulsification surgery. The surgeon will replace the eye’s normal lens with an implant. He/she will establish beforehand what the eye’s refractive error (inability to properly focus on objects) is and correct the problem with this procedure. This type of surgery can actually correct presbyopia which causes the individual to have blurred vision.

2. Glasses are a good solution; however, a good eye surgeon with experience can quickly correct the mentioned issues with refractive lens exchange surgery. The operation to effect this is quick, painless, and safe. During this procedure, the patient’s natural eye lens is replaced with a synthetic implant. The procedure is a great option for the person that does not want to wear glasses or lenses, and it lasts for a lifetime. Only in very rare cases does a person need a follow-up operation – in fact in less than 1% of patients. This procedure has become very popular in recent times and more patients than ever before request it. It is quick, it takes no more than 20 minutes per eye and it is done under local anesthetic and causes no pain. This procedure, as is the case with various other related procedures and treatments, is carried out every day by qualified eye surgeons all over the world.
