Lens Implantation Salem Oregon

Lens implantation is the process that involves placing of another lens into the eye after the natural one has been extracted through professionally conducted surgery.

There is a team of highly qualified eye doctors who are affiliated to the Salem Eye Clinic. When you have had your eyes checked and it turns out that you need a lens implant, you can rely on these eye specialists to carry out the procedure without a problem. They can perform two types of lens implants that are recommended in the medical world.

One of the two types of lens implants is when the new lens is placed in the eyes while the natural lens is retained. People with dry eyes usually undergo this type of lens implant. However, it is not everyone who needs lens implants who can undergo this procedure. If you are extremely short sighted, this type of lens implant may not be the best idea for you. You need to undergo the second type of lens implant, which involves the removal of the natural lens.

This method of lens implant is also known as Refractive Lens Replacement Surgery, where a new lens replaces the natural one. This lens implant is suitable for patients with eye disorders and diseases such as acute myopia. People who are over 40 years can also undergo the procedure so long as they do not mind wearing reading glasses after the surgery.

Eye operations, though simple, can go awry if care is not taken. The medical personnel at the Salem Eye Clinic value your health and eyes as much as you do. They are dedicated to offering only the best lens implantation services, those that will not jeopardize other aspects of your sight. After the implants, Dr. Brown will monitor your eyes to ensure that there are no post-surgical infections.
