Product Information

They are produced in sterile medical facilities and many lenses are not even handled in theatre. They are injected into the eye via a sterile introducing device without requiring the lens to be handled by the surgical team. They have no “shelf life”. Once implanted they will last a lifetime and do not require changing in the future. The glasses I choose to wear are from the RNIB – However, there are a lot of other companies and organisation out there providing both Wrap Arounds and Fit Overs. The glasses in this post can be found here at the Royal National Institute for The Blind

Greater differences between the two eyes can allow for complete freedom of both reading and distance glasses for some patients but with the increasing disparity between the eyes, there is an increased awareness of the two eyes being imbalanced. This technique can be discussed with your surgeon along with tests to identify which eye is dominant. Mr Dan Lindfield explains that it is not suitable for all patients and takes skill, experience and judgement to perfect this technique. Monofocal lenses perform very well in low sun, dim light or in the presence of other eye diseases (which may preclude the use of trifocal lenses).The dominant eye is set for distance and the non-dominant eye is set for varying amounts of nearer vision. The two eyes perform different tasks when measured on their own but when both eyes are open they allow a seamless range of vision. The ability to read without glasses depends on how close-focussed the non-dominant eye is set. Nowadays, there are many to choose from and the right one for you will depend on many factors, including your specific visual needs. Mr Dan Lindfield, a leading consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon in Guildford and Farnham, Surrey explains the pros and cons of the different types of IOLs and what to expect before and after surgery.

Approximately 5-10% of patients are also aware of “rings” or “circles” in their vision when viewing bright lights such as car brake lights. These rings emanate from the circular zones on the lens surface which allow for the trifocality. The glare from these rings is rarely troublesome but can be noticeable. Green tint, like amber, gives high contrast for all eye conditions but can be worn indoors as well as outdoors. It’s also suitable when other tint colours ‘feel too bright’. Green tint is also the best colour tint if you suffer wit migraines at all, wether visually impaired or not.Whilst hearing positive or negative opinions from your friends or family is useful, it’s very difficult to draw parallels for such a precise decision targeted to your specific needs. This is a technique to allow the benefits of monofocal lenses (relatively low cost and very low risk of adverse visual effects) whilst reducing the need for reading glasses.

These implants can allow excellent visual function at a set distance. They can correct shortsightedness or longsightedness. They aim to leave patients without glasses for a defined focal length, which is usually for distance vision. There is often a learning curve associated with these lenses but within a few weeks, patients can often see clearly for distance and near tasks. It must be stated, however, that these lenses function their best in good light. They sometimes perform less well in dim light. Both procedures take approximately 10 minutes and can be performed with an eye drop anaesthetic only, removing the need for injections. The whole hospital visit often takes about 90 minutes from arriving to going home. Cataract surgery and RLE take approximately 10 minutes per eye. We usually operate on both eyes 1-2 weeks apart, but both eyes on the same day is sometimes performed if deemed the best thing for your needs and can be standard practice for some surgeons.Patient satisfaction with monofocal lenses is high and very few negative effects have been reported. However, enablinga change of focal length (e.g. for reading or computer use) often requires the addition of reading glasses. These state of the art implants potentially allow for complete freedom of glasses. However, in practice, most patients feel that they are less dependent on glasses but still occasionally use them for prolonged periods of close work, such as reading a good book.
