  • AN ADD-ON LENS LOOK LIKE A NORMAL LENS BUT IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER

  • AN ADD-ON LENS IS BIGGER BECAUSE WE PUT IT IN THE SPACE BETWEEN LENS CAPSULE AND IRIS

  • IN THEORY WE CAN PUT AN ADD-ON LENS IN THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER BUT AN EYE SUPPORTS THAT NOT SO WELL

ADDITIONAL LENS

Developments in implanttechnology makes it possible to improve the result after cataractsurgeries with an additional lens. Indeed, if cataractsurgeries don't achieve their desirable result, there can be an additional fine tuning with an extra lens.
Such a lens is shoved in the "sulcus" ( = the space between their own lens pouch and the iris). 
This is very well tolerated.
Alternative for fine tuning with an additional lens : lasersurgery, whocan be more precisley.
The additional lens has two advantages: - the additional lens can solve hyperopia // the additional lens is getting cheaper and is sometimes repaid. Lasersurgery is therefore more expensive (€750 a €1250 an eye).

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR SUCH AN "ADDITIONAL LENS"-OPERATION
 
ONGOING NEED FOR CORRECTION FOR FAR, AFTER CATARACT-OPERATION

If you have to wear glasses for far to obtain a good vision after your cataract operation, this can be easily eliminated with an additional lens. Cilindercorrections couldn’t be corrected with lens implants untill recently.Nowadays it isn’t a problem anymore. 

ONGOING NEED FOR CORRECTION FOR FAR, AFTER CATARACT-OPERATION

If you have to wear glasses for near to obtain a good vision after cataract-operation.
That means: there were no multifocal lenses implanted. Well, in second time, there can be added a second lens to solve this problem. This gives a better reading vision.

There are two possibilities:
 
a) Applying an extra multifocal lens
Advantage : you can look with both eyes far and near
Disadvantage : more expensive // the vision for far can be disadvantaged, by seeing radius figures around lamps at night.

b) Applying an extra lens for "monovision" (that means: 1 eye for far and one for near)
Advantage : cheaper / with glasses, which you have to wear occasionally (for visual demanding tasks) you can become a perfect vision for both eyes.
Disadvantage : in the beginning, you have to get used to the new difference between both eyes.
 
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE OPERATION
  • A toroughly preliminary examination to determine if your eyes are suitable for these operation and wich lens needs to be added (type / strenght)
  • You’ll be hospitalized an hour and a half before the operation for preparation (instillation of the eye for pupil-dilatation).
  • The operation takes place in the operation room, with druppel anesthesia simular to the cataract operation you’ve already had. The operation will go faster, because your own lens is already removed.
  • After the operation you may go home directly. You will suffer from some irritation and tears. This last for 1 to 2 days.
  • The day after the operation, you will expierence the effect of the operation.
    This can evolve a little bit afterwards. That’s why new glasses are prescriben -at the earliest- two weeks after the operation.
