Prelex Technique
Prelex Lens Replacement
Presbyopia is a common visual difficulty experienced by individuals aged 40 and above, causing challenges in visualizing nearby objects while maintaining good distance vision.
Prelex: Improving vision through lens replacement
Dr Cabrera in Bogotá, Colombia performs PRELEX, a surgical technique designed to address the limitations of an aging crystalline lens, which hinders proper focusing ability. This procedure involves replacing the old lens with a multifocal lens, offering enhanced vision at both near and far distances.
Patients can regain up to 90% of their near and far vision through PRELEX. One significant advantage of this treatment is the reduced risk of developing future conditions like cataracts or keratoconus.
Intraocular lens
With a multifocal intraocular lens, individuals can enjoy vision comparable to that of someone 30 years old or younger. Daily activities requiring near, intermediate, or far vision become effortless.
To determine the suitability of patients for PRELEX, initial evaluation by an optometrist and ophthalmologist is necessary. These professionals will assess the individual's specific needs and ensure the procedure is the right fit for optimal visual improvement.
