Provided at Neovision Advanced Eye Care Centre, Jamuna Sewa Sadan campus.Phakic IOL surgery is an option for people who want freedom from glasses but are not suitable for LASIK, for example because of very high power or a thin cornea. A special lens is placed inside the eye while your natural lens stays in place. As Dr. Akash Tandon explains in our videos, the procedure is usually stitch-free and takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and the lens can be removed or replaced later if needed.
Like every surgery it has risks, and a detailed evaluation decides whether it is right for you.
