Intraocular Lens Implantation Package
Iran has become a destination for eye surgeries in recent decades and many tourists travel annually to the country to receive medical services in Iran. One of the eye care treatments in Iran that attracts many visitors, especially from neighboring countries, is intraocular lens implantation packages offered at reasonable prices in modern hospitals in large cities, mainly in Tehran, Shiraz, and Mashhad.
These lenses can be used to correct severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which cannot be corrected by refractive laser surgical procedures. In this procedure, an intraocular lens is permanently implanted in the eye, but it can be removed by another surgical procedure at any time.
Intraocular Lens Implantation Package Surgical Procedure
Intraocular lens implantation is performed through a complete surgical procedure in the operation room, but there is no need for hospitalization before and after the surgery. After anesthesia, which is usually performed in the form of general anesthesia, the surgeon makes a corneal incision, and then inserts the intraocular lens into the anterior chamber, in front of the iris and the natural eye lens. Finally, the incision is sutured delicately.
Age Limit for Intraocular Lens Implantation: You Should be older than 18 years.
