phakic iol implantation

 

Purpose of the Phakic IOL Implantation Training Course:

The Phakic IOL Implantation Training Course is to provide instruction and training in the principles
and practice of ocular surgery and in the theoretical and practical aspects of operating
on the human eye for the insertion of a Phakic IOL.

The course will cover both the anterior and posterior chamber phakic IOL implantation
and it is the first in the country to cover the posterior chamber phakic IOL.

Surgeons of the course will gain valuable experience and practice in the theory and method
of phakic IOL, which can translate across the broader spectrum of ocular surgery
and will pave the way for future similar surgeries and new techniques.

Overview of Phakic IOL Implantation Training Course: An Introduction to the Procedure

First, the participants at the Phakic IOL Implantation Training Course will provided with insight
into what a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is and its unique benefits
in contrast to other vision-improving procedures.

Phakic IOLs are implanted directly into the eye’s posterior chamber, in front of the eye’s natural lens,
and are designed to provide a quality of vision that is comparable to having contact lenses.
Unlike contact lenses, which need to be removed and cleaned regularly,
a phakic IOL is with the patient at all times and cannot be felt.

The Phakic IOL Implantation course will later discuss in more detail its specific target patient population.
As a general rule, phakic IOLs work best for patients who have moderate to severe
myopia and are between 21 and 45 years of age.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition that leads to greater difficulty focusing
on objects at a distance than those up close.

While several myopic patients can be satisfactorily treated with glasses or contact lenses,
phakic IOLs offer the potential for an unassisted, active lifestyle,
providing independence from glasses and contacts.
This is particularly appealing to patients who lead an active lifestyle or who have occupations
or hobbies that are inhibited by glasses or contacts.

Lastly, The Phakic IOL Implantation course will familiarize participants with the equipment used,
the procedure, informed consent, and some possible complications that may arise from the procedure.
