SPECTACLE INDEPENDENCE
Light entering the eye needs to be focused accurately on the retina to permit sharp vision. There are two main structures in the eye that is responsible to focus the light accurately: the cornea at the front of the eye, and the natural lens, situated behind the colour of the eye. Some people need the help of spectacles or contact lenses to improve and sharpen their vision, but there is an alternative.
As an ophthalmologist, Dr Frikkie Hartog offers two corrective eye surgeries to eradicate the need for spectacles entirely.
SPECTACLE
INDEPENDENCE.
LASER REFRACTIVE CORRECTION
AGES 18 TO 45 YEARS
By accurately shaping the cornea to sharply focus incoming light, laser eye surgery is aimed at improving a patients’ vision to rid the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE
AGES 50 AND OLDER
While the accommodation potential (ability of the natural lens to focus closer for reading) of the human lens cannot be restored, the resultant spectacle dependence can be permanently eliminated when replaced with an artificial multifocal intra-ocular lens (IOL) during a lens replacement surgery.
