Vision technology in the field of ophthalmology benefits the patient and the physician in better medical procedures.

FREMONT, CA: Vision-improving technology isn't just for people who have sickness, eye diseases, or other problems with their vision. Today, safe solutions for vision-enhancing technologies imply safe, practical vision enhancements that do not jeopardize overall health. Consider the categories below for additional information on some of the best that merit your consideration. It is necessary to consider your best treatment plan and choices with your ophthalmologist, regardless of the condition.

LASIK Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can all be treated with laser eye surgery. Individuals eligible for this operation must be at least 18 years old and have moderate visual problems. LASIK procedure, created decades ago to address a corneal injury, now provides a permanent option to correct eye performance issues. The most outstanding LASIK surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to provide cutting-edge vision repair that lasts a lifetime.

Surgeons can use the WaveScan WaveFront system to create a 3-dimensional map of the human eye. This technology examines the entire eye from the tear film to the retina. Ophthalmologists will employ WaveFront Guided to obtain a more precise diagnosis, allowing them to provide the best possible treatment to their patients. Contoura Topography, on the other hand, rather than scanning the entire eye, finds anomalies in the curvature of the cornea.

Intraocular lenses may be a good option for people who need corrective eye surgery but can't get LASIK. IOLs are lenses that replace the standard lens in the eye and are recommended for individuals aged 45 and up. The cataract is removed first, and then an intraocular lens is implanted to replace it. Following surgery, this lens may lessen or eliminate the requirement for corrective eyewear. UV radiation is used to alter the lens in this unique treatment method.

Contact lenses that are implanted 

Improving eyesight often necessitates vision-enhancing technology that provides a more permanent answer to eye correction. Visian ICL, a method that can assist enhance vision quality in people who aren't candidates for LASIK, makes implantable contact lenses possible. ICL is a non-laser procedure that begins with a small incision in the eye and ends with the implantation of a Collamer lens in front of the patient's natural lens. The ICL process, unlike ordinary contact lenses, is not felt or seen once it is inserted. ICL is removed easily if necessary. 

Corneal cross-linking, also known as corneal collagen cross-linking, or CXL, is a therapy option for people who have keratoconus, a condition in which the cornea becomes thin and weak. It helps strengthen the collagen fibers in the cornea; this minimally invasive procedure combines a mix of vitamin B2 drops and UV light. People with corneal cross-linking have blurry vision for five days after the procedure.
