What are the disadvantages of lens implants?

A lens implant can permanently improve vision, but as with any medical procedure, there are some potential drawbacks and risks:

? Habituation and adaptation

- Some patients need time to get used to the new way of seeing, especially with multifocal lenses.

- Light phenomena such as halos or glare around lights may occur initially, especially at night.

? Residual deviation

- In some cases, a small residual strength may remain, which may require additional treatment such as laser eye surgery or glasses.

? Dry eyes

- After implantation, the eye may feel temporarily drier, especially in patients who were already sensitive to this.

? Chance of side effects

- Blurred vision after the procedure may be temporary, but sometimes follow-up treatment is required.

- Infection or inflammation is rare, but is a risk with any eye surgery.

- In rare cases, an artificial lens may need to be replaced.

? Cost and reimbursement

- The cost of a lens implant varies depending on the lens type and technique (e.g., FEMTOCLEAR or FEMTOCATARACT).

- Multifocal lenses are often only partially reimbursed by the mutual insurance company or health insurance company.
