ADVANCED INTRAOCULAR LENS (IOL) TECHNOLOGY AT AMERICAN EYE CENTER

Revolution in Cataract and Presbyopia Treatment

Intraocular Lens (IOL) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the natural lens that has become cloudy or aged. At American Eye Center Vietnam, we apply the world's most advanced IOL technology to provide perfect vision for patients.

1. Monofocal IOL

·         Principle: Designed to provide the best vision at one fixed distance

·         Advantages: Sharp image quality, reasonable cost

·         Suitable for: Patients who only want to improve distance or near vision

2. Multifocal IOL

·         Technology: Has corrective zones integrated in the lens, similar to progressive glasses

·         Advantages: Allows clear vision of both near and far objects, reduces dependence on glasses

·         Effectiveness: >90% of patients don't need glasses after surgery

3. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOL

·         Features: Only one corrective zone but extended to allow distance and intermediate vision

·         Advantages: Reduces glare and halos compared to multifocal IOL

·         Note: Still needs reading glasses for small print

4. Toric IOL (Astigmatism Correction)

·         Function: Has additional built-in correction for astigmatism

·         Effectiveness: Allows vision focus at distance and corrects astigmatism

·         Suitable for: Patients with both cataracts and astigmatism

IOL SELECTION PROCESS AT AMERICAN EYE CENTER:

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment

·         Detailed eye examination with advanced diagnostic technology

·         Precise measurement of parameters: axial length, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth

·         Analysis of patient's lifestyle and vision needs

Step 2: In-depth Consultation

·         International ophthalmologist advises on most suitable IOL type

·         Detailed explanation of advantages and disadvantages of each IOL type

·         Discussion of expectations and achievable results

Step 3: Personalized Selection

·         Consider occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle

·         Evaluate adaptability to different IOL types

·         Make final decision that best fits the patient

SUPERIOR ADVANTAGES OF MODERN IOL:

·         Permanent: Only needs to be performed once in a lifetime

·         No aging effect: Artificial lens doesn't become cloudy over time

·         Comprehensive improvement: Simultaneously treats cataracts and refractive errors

·         High visual quality: Extended range of clear focus
