These are suitable for patients with dry AMD
or patients with established wet AMD and
offers hope to significantly improve the
central vision. In this exciting new
procedure two small lenses are inserted into
the eye. Together they act like a miniature
telescope, slightly magnifying the image and
diverting it to a healthier part of the retina.
The healthy retina takes over the role of the
macula and can give the AMD patient
significantly improved vision.
The potential improvement in vision can be
tested during the consultation using a
special simulator. This can demonstrate the
effect of the implants so patients can
experience the possible improvement in
vision before the operation. Some simple
exercises after the operation can further
help to reinforce the improvement achieved.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes and
there is no need to stay overnight in hospital.
The procedure helps to improve vision in
patients with AMD but can also help patients
with other macular diseases such as macular
holes, myopic degeneration or hereditary
retinal diseases such as Stargardt's or Best's
disease.
