What should you check importantly before deciding on lens implantation surgery price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types and Selection of Vision Correction Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To restore vision that has once deteriorated, vision correction surgery must be performed. Vision correction surgery can be broadly divided into laser vision correction, which uses laser to ablate the cornea, and lens implantation surgery, which improves vision by inserting a lens inside the eye. Today, we will examine what the differences are between lens implantation surgery and laser vision correction, and what factors must be checked before researching lens implantation surgery price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating Principle of Lens Implantation Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Lens implantation surgery is a vision correction method that improves myopia by directly inserting a lens inside the eye. Like glasses, a lens with a prescription matching the patient’s vision is positioned in the space between the iris and the natural lens. Then, the light passing through the lens focuses clearly on the retina, improving vision.
Since this method inserts a lens inside the eye without shaving the cornea, surgery is possible regardless of corneal thickness. It also has the advantage of being applicable even when the myopia prescription is very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Major Differences from Laser Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The biggest difference between laser vision correction and lens implantation surgery lies in the surgical method. Laser vision correction adjusts the refractive index by shaving the cornea, while lens implantation surgery helps images focus clearly on the retina by inserting a lens into the eye. As a result, even patients with ultra-high myopia or thin corneas who find general laser vision correction difficult can improve vision through lens implantation surgery.
Another difference is whether restoration to the original state is possible after surgery. With laser vision correction, it is difficult to return to the previous state once the surgery has been performed. However, with lens implantation surgery, if discomfort is felt or abnormal reactions occur after surgery, the lens can be removed to return to the pre-surgery state.
Due to these differences, lens implantation surgery price is set differently from laser vision correction, and is usually formed between 3 million won and 5 million won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluation of Corneal Endothelial Cell Condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before researching lens implantation surgery price, a corneal endothelial cell examination must be conducted. The corneal endothelium is located on the innermost side of the cornea. The corneal endothelium contacts the liquid that maintains the round shape of the eye and plays the role of discharging absorbed water back to the outside. For the corneal endothelium to function normally, there must be more than 2,000 corneal endothelial cells per eye.
If corneal endothelial cells are fewer than 2,000, they cannot perform their normal pumping role, and when corneal endothelial cells absorb water, corneal edema occurs. If corneal edema is left untreated for a long time, the cornea eventually cannot maintain transparency and becomes cloudy, and vision can be damaged.
Therefore, it is very important to accurately measure the number of corneal endothelial cells before surgery and confirm that there is a sufficient number. Whether surgery is possible is determined according to this examination result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurement of Intraocular Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Lens implantation surgery can be broadly divided into two types depending on the direction in which the lens is positioned. Previously, anterior chamber lens implantation surgery, which inserts the lens in front of the iris, was mainstream, but recently, posterior chamber lens implantation surgery, which inserts the lens behind the iris, is mainly performed.
Posterior chamber lens implantation surgery does not affect corneal endothelial cell reduction because it is far from corneal endothelial cells, and has the advantage of being natural as the lens is not noticeable even when viewed up close. However, since the lens must be inserted inside the iris, sufficient intraocular space must be secured.
If intraocular space is insufficient, the lens can contact other tissues and cause problems. Therefore, before comparing lens implantation surgery price, you should accurately measure intraocular space through precise examination and confirm whether posterior chamber lens implantation surgery is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Iris Size and Lens Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the past, there were cases where intraocular pressure rose after lens implantation surgery, causing glaucoma or cataracts. In our eyes, there is a liquid called aqueous humor that maintains eye shape and supplies oxygen and nutrition to the eye. If aqueous humor does not flow properly due to lens implantation surgery, intraocular pressure rises. Recently, holes that help the flow of aqueous humor are pre-drilled in lenses to prevent intraocular pressure elevation.
However, no matter how much the lens has an aqueous humor drainage port, if the lens size is larger than the iris space, the natural aqueous humor hole located in the iris can be blocked, causing intraocular pressure to rise. Therefore, it is important to accurately check the iris size from the beginning and select a lens of the appropriate size.
Iris size measurement is performed through special equipment, and based on this data, the most suitable lens size for the patient is determined. If the lens size is not appropriate, complications can occur after surgery, so this process is very important.
Lens implantation surgery price may differ depending on the type and size of lens used. Therefore, after confirming the lens you need through precise examination, it is good to compare estimates from multiple hospitals and make a reasonable choice. While price is important, above all, selecting accurate examination and an experienced surgeon is the way to obtain safe and satisfactory results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
