People with increasing age experience presbyopia. Presbyopia is actually such a problem when the lens of the eye starts to harden a bit. It is not yet known why this happens. But it has been known that lenses lose their ability to retain their elasticity and distance.
Maria Montes's eyesight became very weak as she passed the age of 40, especially near. She does not like wearing glasses to read, so went to the doctor in search of some other option. His hardened natural lens was replaced with artificial lens after surgery. Now she can see clearly far and near. But the exchange of lenses has not been perfected yet.
Spanish eye doctor Ignacio Morotte says, "It would be better to find more physiologic measures for presbyopia that mimic the behavior of human crystalline lenses. The lens we are applying is near, far and medium distance. Fixes the eye. But it is not very good in terms of adapting itself to the environment. "
Scientists now want to develop a device that changes the shape of artificial lenses in a natural way. Sujana Marcos, who is researching in this direction, says, "We think that the ecomodative lens is the future of lenses because they can replicate the function of young crystalline lenses in the human eye." With the help of laser technology, surgeons understand the inner structure of the eye and choose the most appropriate seating lens. Currently, consideration is also being made for making personalized intraocular lenses.
Through this data will be taken and the lens can be designed according to each patient. Flexible implants can be made with digital models of the eye. The implant will replace the old crystalline lens and will be connected to the eye muscles in the same way. This connection will create flexibility in the lens by muscle strength. This will give shape to the surface and then doctors will be able to change the focal point easily.
Researchers hope that through this system, patients will be able to know in advance how they will look after the surgery. They will be able to see how the intraocular implant changes their vision. And thus take it with the help of this technique
