Phakic IOLS
Correct refractive errors and deliver exceptional vision with our selection of high-end phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs)
What are phakic IOLs used for?
A phakic IOL is a type of lens that is implanted into the eye to correct refractive errors in patients with myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia and astigmatism. Unlike traditional IOLs, which are used to replace the eye’s natural lens, phakic IOLs are implanted in front of the natural lens.
A Greek term referring to the fact that the eye’s natural lens is still present, ‘phakic’ IOLs work by adding an extra lens to the eye, typically either between the cornea and the iris, or just behind the iris. This then allows light to focus onto the retina properly, helping correct refractive errors and improve vision.
For this reason, phakic IOLs are also recommended as an alternative to laser refractive surgeries, such as LASIK, SMILE and surface laser treatments like PRK.
Discover our range of phakic IOLs
With proven long-term safety results and stability, our range of phakic IOLs has revolutionised the world of vision correction surgery, providing patients with high-quality vision that either reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.
IPCL V2
A customised refractive solution for treating conditions like myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatism, the IPCL is the most modern and innovative phakic posterior chamber lens available on the market. Offering excellent optical quality and high refractive stability, this lens is the ideal choice for patients who are highly myopic, and unsuitable for laser correction or presbyopic.
IPCL V2 Presbyopic Lens
Eliminate the need for reading glasses in patients aged over 40 with the IPCL V2 Presbyopic Lens. Customisable to your patient’s individual lifestyle and visual requirements, the lens’ patented design uses a diffractive platform to provide excellent near, intermediate and distance vision and offers a safe solution for presbyopia with the additional option of correcting astigmatism.
