Crystalens 5-0 - implant Video The Crystalens 5-0 is an advance on the earlier AT 45 Crystalens. This implant has attracted considerable interest in the US and currently Centre for Sight is one of very few European sites (April 2008) implanting the device. The implant is the only Accommodative lens approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and uses the eye's natural focusing muscles to accomplish vision at all distances. Bausch and Lomb, the makers of eye products from contact lenses to Lasers for corrective eye surgery and the Stellaris cataract platform, realising the potential of the implant, recently acquired the company Eyeonics.

ACRILISA Multifocal Lens Implant The ACRILISA multifocal lens is used to provide patients with both DISTANCE and NEAR correction following Cataract or Lens Replacement surgery. Also know as MULTILEX at Centre for Sight (multifocal lens exchange) this is an excellent option for those looking for vision correction. For the lens to work astigmatism must be eliminated and this video also demonstrates a "Limbal Relaxing Incision" or LRI at the end to accomplish this correction. At Centre for Sight (www.centreforsight.com) with the introduction of the Bausch and Lomb Stellaris machine, the incision size has now been reduced by almost 50% at 1.8mm -- and a video demonstrating this will soon be available.

Lasik with Hansatome LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It is a procedure in which a thin flap of tissue is cut, and then peeled back from the very front of the cornea (this is the transparent covering over your pupil). The laser literally vapourises away some of your corneal tissue beneath the flap to make your cornea a slightly different shape which will correct your refractive error. Then the flap is placed back over the front of your eye. LASIK can be used to correct short-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.

Crystal Lens Implant Crystal LensTM C&C Vision - was invented by a British eye surgeon who went across the Atlantic (Stuart Cummings). This device actually moves in the eye and provides accommodative power just like we have in our early years. Surgeons have to be obsessive about lens calculation as well the operative procedure to ensure the device works properly. The device does work and is the first of its kind to receive approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Restoring the power of accommodation takes time in some patients (up to 3 months) and requires practice to ensure muscles not used for decades start functioning again. The level of satisfaction among patients after this procedure is outstanding. 1CU LensTM - Human Optics - this is another accommodative implant made by a company in Germany. Data looks encouraging and again similar aspects with regards to attention to detail and practice by patients apply.

Intralase / IntraLASIK Intralase / IntraLASIK - essentially an ALL LASER Lasik procedure that dispenses altogether with a blade (used in traditional Lasik). Centre for Sight introduced this technology to the UK in 2004 and has had a long head start. The video shows what takes place during the procedure including the surgeon's view. Advantages: precision, uniform flap thickness/thinness - Centre for Sight apparently like using thin flaps (100 microns or less) as they "provide minimal bio-mechanical change, better maintenance of corneal strength, better vision and less dry". Interestingly "Thin flap lasik with Intralase" has been termed SBK or "Sub-Bowman's Keratomileusis" by Stephen Slade and Dan Durrie in the US. You first heard it here at Lasik Eyes (although Centre for Sight have been doing this for over 3 years !)

LASEK - PRK - REWORK In PRK the epithelium (top layer of the cornea) is scraped off and then the laser treatment is applied. A contact lens is used as a "bandage" to decrease discomfort. The epithelium then grows back over the bare area during the next few days. In LASEK the epithelium is exposed to 20% alcohol which helps separate epithelium from the cornea. The epithelium is pushed to one side and laser treatment applied. The epithelial layer is replaced back onto the eye and held in place with a contact lens. The contact lens is then removed a few days later. LASEK is hence a "no knife"/flap operation. Epi-Lasik is a smilar procedure that uses a keratome like that used for Lasik, but engineered to only separate the epithelium. The epithelium is left on a hinge, laser treatment applied and flap replaced.
