The Most Innovative Eye Surgery: Artificial Lens Insertion

The  Most Innovative Eye Surgery: Artificial Lens Insertion

More technology, especially in a part of electronic devices, has improved, more factors are created causing damages to people’s eyesight . According to the survey that conducted by Korea’s National Health Insurance Service in 2014, more than 200,000 people have surgeries to regain their failed eyesight. As the survey says, industry of the surgery for improving eyesight becomes bigger as years go by. Naturally, the trend of the surgical industry has changed a lot in a few years. Only a few years ago, LASIK and LASEK had majority in the eyesight improving surgical industry. However, newly invented artificial lens insertion has emerged as the best way of surgery these days. There are several reasons how artificial lens insertion became the most innovative way of surgery rather than two familiar surgeries, the artificial lens insertion has no need to cut off patient’s cornea, it does not have side effect, and it can improve the patient’s eyesight the most.

First and the most important reason that makes the artificial lens insertion as the most innovative improving eyesight surgery is that the surgery does not cut off and injure the patient’s cornea. Peeling off cornea is a necessary step of both LASIK and LASEK. They peel off the patient’s cornea and adjust their sight with laser or just cut off the damaged cornea to make the view clean. Naturally, people who can get those surgery, LASIK and LASEK, are very limited into someone have thick cornea enough to peel. However, the artificial lens insertion has no need to peel off the patient’s cornea, and the patients’ do not need to have thick cornea of course. The artificial lens insertion makes a small crack on the patient’s cornea, and inserts a flexible artificial lens between the cornea and the crystalline lens. Naturally, much more people can get the surgery and improve their bad eyesight.

In addition, the artificial lens insertion does not have side effects and can last permanently. At the very beginning of the surgery, about 30years ago, the surgery often cause cataract into the patients’ eyes. However, many doctors and scientists tried hard to invent new intraocular lens that does not make side effects for more than 30years, and they succeeded to create a new artificial lens with almost no serious side effects. Furthermore, the intraocular lens can remain the improved eyesight permanently. Otherwise the improved sight by LASEK and LASIK can go bad again as these surgery firstly improved the eyesight by peeling off the patients’ cornea, which probably get damaged again as time goes by, the artificial lens are not damaged because the intraocular lens are located between the cornea and the crystalline lens as mentioned above. So, patients can remain their eyesight forever by only a surgery.

Finally, the artificial lens insertion is the most effective way of improving the eyesight. This surgery makes the patients’ sight better with using artificial intraocular lens. The artificial lens is inserted into the patient’s eye and adjusts abnormal refraction of the light itself. It works as the glasses in the eyes. For this advantage, scientists these days are trying to make a new artificial lens that can make the patients’ vision become almost 6.0. Normal people who can say their sight is good have vision with 1.5 to 2.0. Who has the vision as 6.0 can see the ants crawling apart from 100meters away. Actually the artificial lens that make people’s sight into 6.0 will be commercialized in three years.

Remaining good eyesight becomes a lot harder than a few years ago. Many electronic devices that release electromagnetic waves that are very harmful to people’s vision are invented every time, and many people and even children reluctant to go outside far from the electronic devices. More people’s sight goes bad, a lot more people find eye doctors to get a surgery to improve their sight. And even 200,000 people get a surgery to regain their sight, even though it's not the artificial lens insertion. Yet LASIK and LASEK take majority in the industry though, the artificial lens insertion will take more part in the near future. The artificial lens insertion makes it possible much more people to have a surgery because it has no need to patients have healthy cornea to get a surgery, also it does not have serious side effects that can make patients' vision bad again, and even the improved vision can be remained forever. Even the artificial lens insertion is the most effective way of surgery to improve sight. For these reasons, the artisan lens insertion became the most innovative surgery in the ophthalmic  industry
