Looking for freedom from eyewear?Does wearing spectacles bother you? Do contact lenses make you uncomfortable too?
Have you already investigated laser vision correction procedures (LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in situ keratomileusis), only to be disappointed when you were told that this type of procedure is not appropriate for you?
For people who have moderate to high short-sightedness, seeing things clearly in the distance (or even up close) is a big challenge and can be very frustrating in so many ways. Individuals with this level of short-sightedness often say that their vision is so bad that they cannot see the alarm clock when they wake up.
If you want to experience a new vision of life without dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses, implantation with a lens like the AcrySof® Cachet™ Phakic Lens by Alcon® may be able to help you.
Thousands of people all over the world have undergone lens implantation procedures and are now enjoying a new view of the once blurry world around them.
How does the Cachet™ lens work?
 The Cachet™ lens is especially designed to improve your vision by working along with your existing natural lens. The lens is implanted so that it sits in the front (anterior) chamber of your eye, between your iris and your cornea. With this lens, images that used to be blurry can be clear.What’s so unique about the Cachet™ lens?
"The Cachet™ lens is made of material that is proven and stable in the eye and is easily inserted through a micro-incision," says Dr Meades, who has been performing refractive surgery now for over 15 years. "Excessive manipulation of the lens is not required during the procedure and the operating time with the lens is also very short – only 15 mins," explains Dr Meades. "No incision to the iris is required (peripheral iridotomy) and the natural lens is not exposed. When inserting the lens I am working to protect the natural lens giving added safety at the time of surgery."
Once implanted, it unfolds and is held in place by tiny supports.
Your new view
 Like any surgery, implantation of an AcrySof® Cachet™ Phakic Lens is an important matter that you should thoroughly evaluate along with your doctor. Together, you and your doctor should discuss the potential benefits and risks. To determine which solution is better for you, make a no obligation, free suitability assessment appointment.
