What is Add-On Lens and What is it Used For?
Add-On smart lens treatment is a preferred method for situations where existing intraocular lenses are inadequate, particularly after cataract surgery or in cases of high myopia. This treatment aims to improve vision quality by adding a specially designed lens to the previously implanted lens.
Add-On lenses work in conjunction with existing lenses to enhance the eye's focusing capacity and provide clearer, more comfortable vision. This makes them an effective solution for correcting certain refractive errors, particularly astigmatism.

What Does Add-On Lens Mean?
An add-on lens is a second type of lens that is added to existing intraocular lenses to improve visual performance. This method offers a practical and safe alternative because it can be applied without damaging or altering existing lenses.
Add-On lenses are custom-designed to suit the patient's eye structure and needs. They also protect against ultraviolet rays, supporting eye health. They can be an effective alternative for patients who prefer not to wear glasses or contact lenses.

How is Add On Smart Lens Treatment Applied?
The treatment process begins with a detailed eye examination. The doctor evaluates the patient's current lens condition and eye health, then selects the appropriate Add-On lens.

Patients can usually return to their daily lives quickly after the procedure. Add-on lens treatment can improve vision quality and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses.

Add On What is the Recovery Process After Smart Lens Surgery?
Recovery is generally quick. You may experience mild blurriness or discomfort in the first 24 hours after surgery; this is usually temporary.
Most patients experience a significant improvement in vision within the first week. It may take several weeks for the eye to fully adjust to its new state and achieve full visual clarity. Regular use of medications prescribed by your doctor and regular checkups are crucial during this period.
