THE EYECRYL Phakic PROCEDURE

It will all begin with your ophthalmologist making sure you are a good candidate for this procedure.

The procedure itself starts with some drops to numb your eyes, followed by a quick and painless standard surgery which will end, about 20 minutes later, with you walking out of the outpatient room.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Am I a good candidate?

Only your ophthalmologist can determine if EYECRYL Phakic IOL suits you. Typically, people with thin corneas and/or high myopia and hyperopia are eligible. You could be a good candidate if:

  • You are between 18 and 45 years old
  • You are near-sighted with -0.5D to -25.0D myopia
  • You are farsighted with +0.5D to +10.0D hyperopia
  • You have astigmatism between 0.5 and 5.0 D
  • You have not had a significant change in refractive error prescription in a year time
  • Looking for a dry eye syndrome free procedure
  • A fully reversible procedure
  • You want to keep your cornea unaltered
  • You are a dynamic person
  • Physical activity is essential in your lifestyle
  • Glasses and/or contact are a true problem to enjoy your life freely
