Is Lens Replacement Surgery Permanent?
Yes. Lens replacement surgery is considered a permanent solution for vision correction. During the procedure, the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens that is designed to last a lifetime.
Unlike glasses or contact lenses, the artificial lens does not wear out, degrade or require routine replacement. Modern premium intraocular lenses have been used successfully for many years and are designed to remain in the eye permanently.
One of the major advantages of lens replacement surgery is that cataracts cannot develop in the future. Cataracts form in the eye’s natural lens, which is completely removed during surgery. Once the natural lens has been replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, cataracts can no longer occur.
At Beauty in Prague, we use only premium intraocular lenses from leading manufacturers such as ZEISS and Alcon. Depending on your eyes and visual goals, your surgeon may recommend monofocal, trifocal, toric or EDOF lenses. These lenses are selected individually to provide the best possible visual outcome for your lifestyle and daily activities.
Before travelling to Prague, patients can take advantage of our free online assessment. By completing a medical questionnaire and providing their current glasses prescription, one of our experienced refractive eye surgeons can perform an initial review and discuss suitable treatment options.
The final lens recommendation is made after a comprehensive 2–3 hour eye examination in Prague. During this detailed assessment, advanced diagnostic tests and precise measurements are performed to determine the most appropriate tailored-made lens for each patient.
Our highly experienced refractive eye surgeons have collectively performed more than 100,000 eye procedures. Their extensive experience helps ensure that every patient receives a personalised treatment plan and the most suitable lens technology available.
Many patients choose lens replacement surgery not only because it can reduce dependence on glasses, but also because it provides a long-term solution. Once the artificial lens has been implanted, it is designed to remain in place for the rest of your life.
Although the implanted lens itself is permanent, natural age-related changes elsewhere in the eye can still occur over time. Regular eye examinations remain important to maintain overall eye health.
Start with a free online assessment and our coordinators will help determine whether lens replacement surgery is the right long-term solution for your vision.
