Femto-LASIK mit Raindrop

[Frankyboy]

Im Femto-Lasik-Blog berichtete Herr Dr. Febrer über die so genannte Raindrop-Implantation, die bei Patienten, die bereits altersweitsichtig sind, in Kombination mit einer Femto-LASIK möglich ist: http://femto-lasik-blog.com/femto-lasik-mit-raindrop/

Interessiert hat mich hierbei, ob diese Methode auch nachträglich anzuwenden ist, sollte ich z.B. als Jahre zuvor Gelaserter denn im Laufe der Zeit altersweitsichtig werden. Hier die Antwort darauf: http://femto-lasik-blog.com/raindrop-nach-lasik/

Die Formulierung "Kompromiss" finde ich sehr ehrlich und wird wahrscheinich nicht in jedem Aufklärungsgespräch vorkommen.

The Right Procedure for Right Patient

Among the keys to success with presbyopic surgery is selecting the right procedure for the right patient. Studies and personal experience shed some light on the matter, but undisputably the patient must endure some degree of compromise no matter how well-suited the patient is for the chosen procedure.

This is a matter to which Dr. Gordon and others pay considerable attention. “As you get older, you have to come to glimpse certain things,” Dr. Gordon says . “You can’t jump as high. There are a lot of things you can’t do, but you have to accept where you are in life. It depends on what visual compromise the patient is willing to accept in his lifestyle, in his characteristics, physically in what he does for a living. It’s up to the surgeon and the patient to discuss this and pick the one that offers the best chance of success.”

Some patients adapt somehow to monovision quickly, while others may take months to a year or more to get used to it. This is where Dr. Durrie recognizes the need for what he calls patient “hand-holding.”

“I do a lot of monovision on my presbyopic patients,” Dr. Durrie says. “And when you end up at the one-month or three-month level, there are 10%-15% of patients for whom you have to do a little extra hand-holding, and tell them what this is and whether they’re on target. And to let them know that they’re going to get better, to hang in there. Some patients just are not willing to put in that extra time, which in some cases could be months, even up to a year, for the brain to adjust
