What is vision correction?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH0w9D7nMNI
Correction of vision is one of the an important process for a person who suffers from blurred vision, which makes it difficult for him to carry out daily activities.
Usually, a person needs vision correction process when there are problems with their vision due to what is known as a refractive error.
A refractive error occurs when there is a flaw in the curvature of the light inside the eye. If the light entering the eye does not hit the retina correctly, the vision will not be sharp.
There are four types of refractive errors, and they include:
Myopia appears as a result of The epicenter of light gathers before the retina at the back of the eye; This makes it difficult to see distant objects.
Farsightedness is caused by epicenter of light gathering behind the retina, and this makes it difficult to see nearby objects.
Low vision with age and appears when the eye loses the ability to distinguish between distant and near objects, and This type is usually common in the forties age.
Astigmatism often causes distortion in images, as well as double vision or skewed vision, and often happens when the cornea is somewhat elongated rather than round.
But whatever the type of refractive error, vision correction can help you see clearly and then perform daily tasks without staring or eye strain to clarify the vision.
The Vision correction is one of the common method, especially among people who do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses. also sometimes a lens can be implanted to correct vision.
Laser technology is one of the best vision correction operations in Egypt and the whole world. Also there are several types of vision correction operations, which include:
LASIK vision correction process
Laser vision correction process is performed by changing the shape of the cornea, and this changes the way light reaches the retina, and it can be used in cases of nearsightedness or correction of farsightedness with LASIK or astigmatism.
and the doctor makes a small flap that is lifted while the cornea is reshaped, and replaced at the end of the surgery, which achieves a speedy recovery in this type.
Photorefractive keratectomy Prk
Photorefractive keratectomy, or what is known as vision correction process prk. And it’s the most common alternative to LASIK, in which the Epithelial layer is removed from the cornea and reshaped with a laser.
Epilasik vision correction process
In this surgery, the same steps as take place during the PRK vision correction process are performed.But there is a difference between them.
It is the Epithelial layer of the cornea that is saved first, and put back into place again after the cornea is reshaped.
Femto Smile Vision Correction Process
Refractive surgery considered as using the SMILE technique is one of the similar operation to LASIK. But Dr. Ahmed Al-Moatasem makes a smaller incision to change the shape of the cornea in order to correct myopia.
Conductive keratoplasty CK
This surgery uses heat to tighten and adjust the cornea. And is usually used in vision correction operations for the elderly and over the age of forty. And for those who suffer from mild to moderate cases of farsightedness.
In this type of surgery, lenses are implanted and placed in front of the eye’s natural lens. and this procedure is often used for people who need strong vision correction, and cannot be corrected with LASIK or PRK.
Refractive lens replacement RLE
In this type of vision correction lens, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial lens, and it can be used for people who suffer from after looking, and their vision cannot be corrected using LASIK or PRK.
At the Prof. Ahmed El-Moatasem Center, the implantation of lenses operation to correct three-dimensional vision is performed to treat severe myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism with the latest medical technologies.
Where a lenses implantation operation is performed to correct vision for patients who suffer from severe myopia.
Or those who suffer from congenital weakness in the thickness of the cornea or patients with keratoconus. because the cornea in these cases does not tolerate LASIK.
In addition to that the LASIK in these cases may lead to poor vision Nocturnal to a degree that can not be ignore it .
Now this group of patients can dispense with glasses and contact lenses thanks to the implantation of intraocular lenses operation.
What are the best types of lenses that are implanted inside the eye?
• Lenses that are implanted in the anterior chamber of the eye (in front of the iris). • Lenses that are implanted in the back chamber of the eye (behind the iris and in front of the lens of the eye) and it’s called (ICL).
How are intraocular lenses implantation operation?
As the lens is very soft and flexible. It can be easily folded and inserted into the eye from a very small opening that is not visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, the operation is performed under a surgical microscope.
and the lens insertion process takes one minute
This folded lens automatically deploys after entering the eye and takes its final position between the iris and the natural lens of the eye. thus easily correcting your vision defects.
Candidates for the implantation of lenses operation to correct vision?
Acute myopia patients.
Patients with moderate myopia and those with poor in corneal thickness.
Also Patients with farsightedness more than 5 degrees
Keratoconus patients
What is the appropriate age for lenses implants operation?
It is preferable for the patient to be over twenty years of age for that the degree of visual impairment is stable. As for the upper limit of age, it is preferable that the patient be less than forty years old.
What is the best medical center for lenses implants operation to correct vision with the latest technology?
In the center of Professor Ahmed Al-Moatasem – the best eye doctor in Egypt – there are the latest and most accurate diagnostic and treatment techniques for vision defects, which determine the possibility and effectiveness of correcting the vision defect for the patient. then determining the safest and most efficient way to correct the flaw in the vision based on the vision measurement, examination of the cornea and a map Visual abnormalities of the patient.
As a board-certified ICL implantologist. Dr.Ahmed was one of the first talented surgeons selected 15 years ago to implant these lenses to repair high refractive errors. These lenses offer our patients great vision correction result and high definition vision with the latest intraocular lens designs.
It was our ultimate choice has been the new generations of ICL lenses that have proven their reliability and superior accuracy over the past years without insulting for the human cornea or endothelial cells and the absolutely amazing corrective results.
In Professor Ahmed El-Moatassem’s centers between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE, the performe of corneal transplant operation is carried out in Egypt with the utmost accuracy and efficiency, using the latest technologies, in addition to that, the doctor supervises the import of the best appropriate types of cornea for patient, and we will now together learn about the cost of corneal transplantation, types of corneal transplantation, and the reasons for corneal transplantation.
Corneal transplant operation with the best cornea doctor in egypt
What is the cornea?
The cornea is the transparent outer layer at the front of the eye, and acts as a window through which the colored iris and the pupil can be seen (the black dot in the center of the iris).
The cornea focuses light rays on the retina in the back part of the eye, then this image is transmitted to the vision centers of the brain, and the image appears clearly.
When the cornea is damaged, it becomes less transparent and may change shape; At a result, light is prevented from reaching the retina, causing the transported image to be distorted or not clear.
One of the most common diseases of the cornea is keratoconus, and the best treatment for keratoconus is partial corneal transplantation.
What is keratoconus?
TV interview with the best cornea doctor in egypt Ahmed El-Moatassem
Keratoconus disease is a change in the spherical shape of the eye. Where it happens a thinning (decreas in the thickness) in the center of the cornea and increas its convexity outward, giving it a conical shape known as keratoconus disease.
thinning we mentioned affects the mesenchymal layer of the cornea. it’s as we mentioned, is the thickest layer of the cornea. Keratoconus disease begins to appear in the teenage years. but the diagnosis of injury is usually delayed until after the age of 20.
Here, it is necessary to talk with Dr. Ahmed El-Moatassem about finding solutions to this problem. And about the possibility of performing a corneal transplant in his advanced centers between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE.
considered as Corneal transplantation is one of the most popular eye surgeries operation, also called corneal patching, and it is called keratoplasty.
and it’s a Surgical intervention to remove all or part of the damaged cornea and replace it with intact one from a recently deceased donor.
The damaged cornea causes distortion of vision and changes to the light rays that pass through it, so the doctor resorts to surgical intervention Procedure to solve several eye problems, including:
Corneal scars or ulcers as a result of injury or infection.
Corneal swelling due to a medical condition such as keratoconus.
Some problems that may be caused by previous eye operations.
There are many types of corneal transplantation in Egypt, and Dr Ahmed Al-Moatasem – the best cornea doctor in egypt – performs the necessary examinations and determines the appropriate type for each case. and among these types are:
Penetrating keratoplasty PKP
The doctor approves Penetrating keratoplasty when it is necessary to replace all layers of the cornea, and often the person with a serious injury to the cornea or has bad swelling and scarring, in which the entire thickness of the cornea is replaced with a new one, and the new cornea is sewn on the eye with stitches thinner than hair, and the The patient may needs a longer recovery time in this case.
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty DALK
The surgeon replaces the outer and middle layers only of the cornea in this type of surgical intervention. The doctor injects air to raise and separate the outer and middle layers of the cornea, removes them and then replaces them with intact ones from a donor. Usually the patient needs this type in the case of keratoconus transplantation; and it’s a pathological condition in which the normal shape of the cornea changes from round to conical.
As a result, vision changes occur, and its treatment may be a new corneal transplant or the implantation of keratoconus rings. and these rings are annular clips that are installed and inserted into the cornea, to adjust its conical shape, which contributes to the correct focus of light; and vision improving, and recovery time in this species is usually shorter than in Full thickness corneal transplant.
Endothelial keratoplasty EK
the deep (back) layers of the cornea only are replaced in this type of surgery, and the doctor often resorts to it to help Fox’s patient, and this type is divided into:
Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty DSEK or DSAEK
A stripped endothelial corneal transplant is the most common type of endothelial cornea transplant, in which the surgeon removes the endothelial membrane only one cell thick plus the Desemite membrane above it, then replaces them with the endothelial membrane and the Desemite membrane, which are tightly attached to the stroma. (the thickened middle stratum corneum layer) to help it deal with new tissue without damaging it.
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty DMEK
Dr. Ahmed Al-Moatasem, “the best cornea doctor in egypt”, performs this type of transplantation of the endothelial membrane and Descemet’s membrane only without the support of the stroma, in which the donor tissue is very thin, fragile and difficult to deal with, but the recovery of this type is usually faster, and sometimes the vision is after Corneal transplant is slightly better in this type.
Corneal transplantation experiments using stem cells have been conducted in the United States, by replacing damaged cells with healthy ones, which leads to an improvement in visual acuity, but this method is still under study.
Pre-operative procedures
There are some procedures to be taken before the operation Procedure , which include:
Prof. Ahmed Al-Moatasem will perform a general examination and order some laboratory tests to ensure that the patient is in good general health.
The patient may have to stop some medications, such as aspirin, two weeks before the operation.
The doctor will prescribe some antibiotic drops the day before the operation in order to prevent any bacterial eye infection.
Is corneal transplant successful?
Yes, the success rate of corneal transplantation is very high, and this process usually works without complications for up to 10 years approximately, but in the end it is a surgical operation and may cause some complications.
With supply the most advanced corneal imaging techniques, most updated pentacams, corneal topographers and the newest ocular wavefront measuring devices, we can best manage keratconic conditions.
Choices are multiple based on the patient’s ocular condition, age, visual acuity, corneal imaging and level of aberrations measured by wavefront aberrometer. we can choose between;
Glasses with close observation and follow up for mild cases.
Corneal collagen cross linking to fix and stabilize progression of corneal ectasia, newest devices for CXL are now available at our center which provides safest and fastest outcomes for our most valued customers.
Femtoring (Intra corneal ring segments and rings) implanted using most recent femtosecond laser platforms. Recent advances have now changed the face of ICRS, introducing new segments which provided efficient improvement of corneal astigmatism, regularity and shape.
Femto- Keratoplasty whenever needed for best visual outcomes. Regular follow ups of your corneal status with periodic corneal imaging and wavefront assessment will be done with the frequency required by your status.
