Smaller incisions. Better lenses. Rapid recoveries.

Constant advances renew the cheer for Cataract patients

Crytalens-the next level.

From shortening large incisions of 12mm to smaller incision of 6 mm, to even smaller incision 3mm, now, the latest advancement is the Stellaris - Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (S-MICS) of sub 1.8 mm.

The advanced technique of Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) is indispensable in providing patients with freedom from clouded, blurred, or dimmed vision, caused by Cataract.

Says Dr. Ajay Sharma, Founder and Chief Medical Director, Eye-Q Super-speciality Hospitals - the first hospital to bring the Stellaris Vision Enhancement to Gurgaon that “S-MICS is a boon in the field of Cataract surgery which provides faster recovery of good vision and faster return to normal activities. Eyes retrieve good vision in a matter of days instead of weeks as it was before and the patient is home within hours of the procedure.

The 1.8 mm micro-incision breakthrough for Cataract

Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (S-MICS) I its march toward small, smaller and smallest incisions has now come to the tiniest incision surgery ever done by the advanced machine called Stellaris Vision Enhancement System.

S-MICS provides the smallest incision size of 1.8 to 2.2 mm for lens implantation. This helps in creating a more secure wound in terms of faster sealing and quicker healing, particularly in cases where wound. The 1.8 mm micro-incision breakthrough for Cataract healing might be impaired, such as in diabetics.

The lens implant done in S-MICS is amongst the best available in the world. The Micro Incision Lens (MIL) has many exceptional qualities. It has newer technology aspheric optics that give amazingly sharp night vision, great contrast and a radically different design for perfect centering of the lens that remains centered perfectly over time. Being accommodative to an extent, it also gives a lot of help in near vision and many patients claim that their need for near vision glasses, too, is reduced to a great extent.

The Stellaris Vision Enhancement System: a life-altering breakthrough for Cataract patients

The Stellaris Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (SMICS) is suture-less. While performing S-MICS, no needle sticks are used. It also reduces the chances of surgically induced astigmatism or ruptured sutures. Other major advantages are a stable, watertight wound without suture-related problems.

The Ultimate PIOL Cataract Lens: The Amazing Crystalens®

Bausch & Lomb’s incredible breakthrough Lens for Cataract surgery, first introduced exclusively to the NCR at Eye-Q Hospitals and AIIMS is a premium intraocular lens (PIOL) that not only treats cataract but also cures loss of near and intermediate vision (Presbyopia), at the same time. It does so by recreating accommodation similar to the eye's natural lens. Meaning it can reduce or eliminate glasses for mostactivities, including: reading a book, working on the computer, and driving a car. And, of course, cataract. This amazing lens are so designed as to allow the optic (the central circular part of the lens that one sees through) to move back and forth as a person constantly changes focus on images around him. Explains Dr. Ajay Sharma, Chief Medical Director, Eye-Q Hospitals, “Crystalens® was modeled after the human eye. Like natural lens, it uses the eye muscle to flex and accommodate in order to focus on objects in the environment at all distances. Crystalens dynamically adjusts to your visual needs. Thus correcting presbyopia, and addressing cataract, too.”

Advantage Crsytalens®

Provides Broad Range of Vision Crystalens® moves and changes shape using the eye's natural focusing mechanism, instead of remaining fixed and stationary within the eye. This movement, or accommodation, allows the eye to focus on objects across a broad range of distances to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses. In particular, this accommodation provides significant advantages in addressing intermediate vision.

Maintains Clarity of Vision Unlike multifocal lenses, Crystalens® directs all available light received by the eye to a single focalpoint, comparable to that of a healthy natural lens.

Patient Adjustment Not Required Crystalens® produces a single image consistent with normal vision, which means that patients do not need to neuroadapt to viewing multiple images. More than 100,000 Crystalens® implants have been implanted worldwide, and the number is growing daily.

For cataract patients undergoing Stellaris Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (SMICS), the Crystalensl can be implanted easily and quickly, without any sensation. And what with the recovery period being short, as well as the doing away with any require for the brain to neuroadapt, most patients are able to pursue normal activities almost immediately after surgery.

Making informed and better choices when choosing from other Lenses too.

Unlike before when cataract patients had few choices for the implants used to restore their vision, now super-speciality technologies and medical marvels have changed all that. Now, apart from 'all-distance' lens like Crystalens there are several choices based on your individual visual needs and lifestyle. As one of the most experienced cataract and lens replacement surgeons in nation, Dr. Ajay Sharma and his clinical team will help you identify which may be best for you. So, if you are having cataract surgery and choose not to have the premium lens procedure for All Distance Vision, Eye-Q offers the highest quality multi-focal lens available, at a range of options to choose from. These lens, have been shown to improve night driving vision; which is likely to provide safety benefits for drivers and those with whom they share the road. Although the lens provides distinct advantages over other single focus lenses, such as improved night driving vision - a significant cataract related problem - patients will need glasses for clear vision at all distances. With choices like these in today's super-speciality age, it is important to seek a thorough understanding of the comparative benefits of these lenses before deciding which one suits you best.
