ARTISAN/ ARTIFLEX lenses
Since 1986 thousands of people had great success with the implant of Artisan Lenses. For some patients it is normal to see sharp with the help of glasses and contact lenses.
Patients who are shortsighted see close up more clearly than far. For patients who are farsighted, it is the other way around.
Nowadays people from all around the world prefer not to be dependant on spectacles or contact lenses. They face problems while wearing these or they feel that they no longer fit in a modern lifestyle. For these people refractive surgery could be a solution.
The ARTISAN®/ ARTIFLEX® lens is one of the most modern techniques of refractive surgery. This lens is a reliable, well performing alternative for the popular laser treatments.
What’s an ARTISAN® or ARTIFLEX® lens?
An ARTISAN®/ ARTIFLEX® lens is an implantable lens that is implanted in the eye by an eye surgeon. The lens will stay there permanently and therefore you will be able to see clearly all the time; your glasses or contacts will not bother or limit you any longer. It seems as though you have no "refraction problem" any more. The lens needs no maintenance and can stay in your eye for the rest of your life.
The lens is available for nearsightedness (-1 to –23,5 diopter) and farsightedness (+1 to +12 diopter);
If you should need to replace the lens for any reason, this can be done without any problem in most of the cases. The lens can be implanted in people of between 18 and 60 years of age, who meet certain conditions. The lens is available for shortsightedness (-3 to –23,5 diopter) and long-sightedness (+1 to +12 diopter); the cylinders (astigmatism) can also be corrected with the ARTISAN® lens. The ARTISAN®/ ARTIFLEX® lens offers no solution for presbyopia.
Indication
Farsightedness of approximately +3 to +8 diopter
Nearsightedness of approximately -10 to -20 diopter
If you are nearsighted or farsighted, it may be possible to correct your refractive error with implant lenses. Your body's ability to accommodate remains intact, unless presbyopia is present.
Properties
- good predictability of the result
- correction is performed in the optic axis, between lens and iris
- quick rehabilitation period
- reversibility of the effect - the lens can be removed
- enhancement procedure possible by exchange of lens
- ambulatory or inpatient surgery
The Artisan Lens is a special anterior chamber lenses, which is implanted in the "anterior chamber" of the eye, between the cornea and the iris.
For the implant, the eye is opened approximately 5mm on the periphery of the cornea. This opening is prepared in such a way that it will close itself at the end of the surgery and sutures are generally not needed. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sterile conditions and usually takes about 20 minutes.
In addition to the Artisan Lens, a further implant lens for the correction of severe refractive errors is available.
The lens material
The ARTISAN® lens is made of Perspex (PMMA), an artificial material that’s completely accepted by the human body. This became clear when pilots of the 2 WW walked around for several years with pieces of this material in their eyes due to shot cockpits.
The ARTIFLEX® lens is partly made of a flexible material.
Why choose ARTISAN® / ARTIFLEX® lenses?
With an ARTISAN® / ARTIFLEX® lens in your eye you:
• have no problems with steamed up glasses
• have no irritations caused by dry air, sand or dust
• won't spend time on maintenance (as with contact lenses)
• won't be afraid of losing your spectacles.
Conditions
You are a candidate for ARTISAN® / ARTIFLEX® lenses when you meet the following conditions:
• Your refraction error is between: -3 and –23,5 dpt with or without cylinder error
+1 and +12 dpt with or without cylinder error.
• You’re between 18 and 60 years of age.
• You’re in good health.
• You don’t have other eye diseases.
• Your refraction has been stable for at least one year.
• You are not pregnant or breast feeding.
• You are convinced you want to undergo this procedure.
Risks
In every medical intervention there is a small risk factor to consider. This also applies to the ARTISAN® or ARTIFLEX® lens where there can be complications in spite of the best intentions to offer a flawless treatment. Because we are dealing with a healthy eye, apart from the refraction, it is essential that you consider the risks before making a decision.
The results after a ARTISAN® / ARTIFLEX® lens implantation
The objective when implanting an ARTISAN® or ARTIFLEX® lens is to make you totally independent of your glasses. But as with all kinds of refractive surgery this will not always be the case. In the end the required diopter will be between 0 and 1. There can be several reasons for this; the diopter can be affected for instance when suturing the incision. With a diopter between 0 and 1 you will not be limited in daily life; you won’t be depended on your glasses or contact lenses anymore. A slight correction might be needed if you demand a high level of visual acuity in your job or while driving
عدسة الأرتيزان هي من أحدث الطرق المستخدمة في علاج الأخطاء الانكسارية في العين وهذه الطريقة أثبتت نفسها في علاج الاخطاء الانكسارية
ولها مميزات ولها عيوب ايضا (ما في شي كامل)
انشاء الله يعجبكم الموضوع واعذروني ما ترجمته للعربية نظرا لضيق الوقت وظروف الكهرباء متل ما بتعرفوا
تحياتي للجميع بالتوفيق والنجاح
