Our phakic lenses They are similar to contact lenses that are used to correct myopia and the difference is that implanted inside the eye and the materials, biocompatible so that they are perfectly tolerated. They are inserted through a small 1 mm incision and are placed under the iris, so they are not noticeable and do not damage the cornea. The surgery is done with sedation, so that the patient does not have discomfort and are implanted in both eyes in the same intervention. This eye surgery lasts approximately 10 minutes per eye, and the patient leaves with his eyes uncovered and with a certain degree of vision that in many cases is relatively good from the first hours of surgery. The phakic lenses we recommend them in the cases in which the cornea laser cannot be applied or in cases where myopia exceeds safety limits, generally the 8 diopters. Patients with myopia of up to 20 or 25 diopters or with irregular astigmatism, can eliminate glasses and even improve visual quality that they had with them or with contact lenses, with the phakic lens implant.
