El cristalino es una lente natural que forma parte del ojo, se encuentra detrás del iris y sirve para enfocar las imágenes como lo hace el zoom de una cámara. Con el tiempo, el cristalino pierde su capacidad de enfoque y aparece la presbicia o vista cansada, que se manifiesta por la imposibilidad de ver de cerca. Además, el cristalino va perdiendo su trasparencia según envejece y se va volviendo opaco, provocando lo que llamamos cataratas.
Para estas patologías la solución es el tratamiento con lente intraocular (también llamadas lentes pseudofáquicas). La operación consiste en extraer el cristalino dañado y sustituirlo por una lente intraocular, que hace la función de cristalino artificial.
En Clínica Baviera tenemos una amplia experiencia en la implantación de lentes intraoculares para corregir cataratas y presbicia.
En la actualidad, estamos implantando las lentes intraoculares multifocales, que como su nombre indica, permiten además adaptar la visión en varios planos (entre lejos, intermedio y cerca), siendo el cerebro el que elige el enfoque visual más adecuado para cada situación gracias a un procedimiento oftalmológico denominado pseudoacomodación. De esta forma, los pacientes recuperan un amplio rango de visión y pueden realizar actividades sin necesidad de utilizar gafas o lentillas, desde leer un libro hasta conducir. Este tratamiento permite, además, eliminar defectos visuales asociados como la miopía, la hipermetropía y el astigmatismo.
The crystalline lens is part of the eye and sits behind the iris. Its purpose is to focus on images, just like the zoom of a camera. With time, the crystalline lens loses its ability to focus; this inability to see nearby objects is termed presbyopia, which is also known as long-sightedness. On the other hand, as people get older, their crystalline lenses gradually lose their clarity until they become milky white. This is what we call cataracts.
The solution for these pathologies is a treatment with intraocular lenses (also known as pseudophakic lenses). The operation consists in removing the damaged crystalline lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens which will act as the former.
Clínica Baviera has extensive experience in intraocular lens implantation. Curently, we are implanting multifocal IOLs, as the name implies, which allows focusing our vision on different planes.
However, for the past eight years we have implanted multifocal intraocular lenses in thousands of operations. As their name implies, these lenses allow the eye to focus on several planes (far-off, intermediate, and nearby), the brain choosing the most suitable focus for each situation thanks to a process known as pseudoaccommodation. Thus, patients recover a wide range of sight and can do all kinds of activities without having to wear glasses or contact lenses, from reading books to driving. This treatment also allows doing away with associated defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
The first step of the operation is to dissolve the deteriorated crystalline lens with ultrasounds and remove it by means of a technique known as phacoemulsification. Next, the crystalline lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (artificial crystalline lens) which will last a lifetime and will not get opacify. Thus, thanks to the artificial multifocal crystalline lens cataracts (if any) are eliminated, presbyopia is corrected and any associated refractive issue (myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism) is solved or minimised. In case that the patient does not suffer cataracts, this technique will prevent them. After this procedure, the patient can go home with the uncovered eye and his recovery will be very fast.
