Most people with vision problems cannot imagine their lives without the use of lenses. Such an alternative to glasses is much more practical and attractive from an aesthetic point of view. Scientists have developed a new generation of contact lenses that can make life easier for those who have poor vision.
Despite the many benefits of contact lenses compared to glasses, they can also cause a lot of inconvenience. For example, the use of such "optical devices" can provoke inflammation of the eyes, they also require constant care, and the image they provide is not always ideal.
A novelty developed by European specialists will help you forget about such discomfort. New generation lenses are surgically placed directly into the cornea of the eye and can serve a person for the rest of their lives. So far, only one clinic located in the UK provides such lenses in Europe.
An innovative method of vision correction was developed by specialists from the Claremont Clinic in London. Thanks to the new type of lenses, it becomes possible to provide highly effective vision correction not only in cases of farsightedness and myopia, but also in the presence of such eye diseases as astigmatism and cataracts. Thus, patients who have undergone cataract surgery, provided that such lenses are installed, can read again without using glasses.
Ensuring and improving the focus of the image on the retina occurs due to microscopic concentric grooves applied to the surface of the lenses. The results of clinical studies indicate that in the case of the installation of such lenses, visual acuity increased to 1 in 81% of patients, 93% of people refused glasses "for a distance", 73% no longer needed to use glasses while reading and in the process of doing this. robots that require focusing on small objects.
However, the main obstacle to the wide distribution of new items is its exorbitant price. So, the cost of one lens is £3,900.
