Multifocal Intraocular Implants
PRELEX stands for PREsbyopic Lens Exchange, these days referred to as the surgical intervention which restores vision without glasses for hyperopic and presbyopic patients.
As we age our natural lens becomes less flexible and looses its ability to accommodate. As a result of this we are not able to see near objects clearly and require reading glasses. This condition cannot be corrected with the aid of laser surgery such as LASIK. Patients who have had laser vision correction will in later years develop presbyopia. This can be corrected with the aid of PRELEX implant lens surgery.
PRELEX is an intra-ocular lens replacement procedure in which the natural lens, is replaced with a multi-focal intra-ocular lens implant. The procedure is similar to a cataract operation and has the added advantage that the implanted lens will never develop a cataract. Traditionally replacement lens implants were all fixed-focus which gave clear distance vision but required the use of reading glasses in most cases. This procedure has on a regular basis been performed since the mid 1990’s mainly on patients with presbyopia. As a result of this presbyopic patients are now able to regain better vision with reduced or no dependency on glasses.
