Although no one can guarantee that eye exercises can fix all vision problems, a vast majority of vision problems such as myopia or far sighted or even both can be improved or cured altogether naturally. There are already people who have done it and this is certainly not a myth.
Phakic intraocular lenses (phakic IOL) or commonly known as implantable contact lenses are lenses that are implanted into the eye so that they could work with the crystalline lens to correct myopia or farsightedness – a state where the person involved could not see far distance object clearly. Implantable contact lenses can correct a wider range of myopia compares to a laser refractive procedure. And this is the reason why it is more preferred nowadays compares to the latter.
Unlike an intraocular lens which will replace the eye’s natural lens completely, an implantable contact lens is an additional lens that placed into the eye to work together with the eye’s natural lens.
Below is a set of frequently asked questions about cataract removal surgery. Go through this FAQs to have your most asked questions answered.
When should I undergo the cataract removal surgery?
There are many people believe that cataracts only can be removed when it has reached certain stage which usually a highly advanced stage where blindness could happen anytime. This is actually not true. You do not need to wait until the situation becomes worse that it might pose a potential threat to your vision. A cataract removal surgery could be performed as soon as your doctor feels that your vision interferes with the quality of your life.

A person that has glaucoma will not aware or notice about it until a certain stage, when the symptoms start to show up. Glaucoma is known to be caused by a fluid that happens to build up inside the eyes, which causes the increase of intraocular pressure or ‘IOP’. When this happens, the optic nerves will get damaged and which then leading to vision loss.
There are two main types of glaucoma (which quite common to happen); the primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and angle closure glaucoma. The difference of these two is their onset and these are marked by the increase of intraocular pressure. The former type is much more chronic compares to the latter one.
Refractive cataract surgery can be considered a new term in the glossary of vision reconstruction technology. It is a combination of the traditional cataract surgery method and the modern refractive surgery technique.
The purpose of a normal cataract surgery is to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an intraocular lens that would restore the patient’s ability to see. In order words, it is a purely medical approach that restores the patient’s vision back as it was prior to that cataract development. For that, even after the patient has recovered from the surgery, he or she will still need the aid of eyeglasses or contact lens.
