| Sood Eye Care implants J&K's first Trifocal IOL | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 29: In the first feat in Jammu and Kashmir, Sood Eye Care Jammu conducted an advanced cataract surgery. The centre implanted the latest AcrySof PanOptix Trifocal IOL inpatient's eye.
A senior government officer of J&K was diagnosed with a cataract. The patient consulted Dr RD Sood, one of the top experienced Ophthalmologist of J&K. Dr RD Sood after performing some test suggest him to undergo Trifocal IOL Implant Surgery.
These latest-generation trifocals offers clear vision at middle distances, which is generally anything at arm's length. This is in addition to providing near and far vision. Trifocal lenses allow a person to switch effortlessly between all three distances - near (reading) distance, long-distance, and in-between (intermediate) distances. Vision is clear at all those points - something the previous multifocal IOLs couldn't achieve. These tiny implants replace the natural lens of the eye, which is removed during cataract surgery. However, these lenses were being used in metropolitan cities and now finally in Jammu.
Dr Sood had performed the surgery without giving any local anaesthesia (injection) to the patient. The surgery is painless, stitchless, bloodless and the patient tolerated the surgery well.
Talking about Surgery, Dr Sood said that this surgery requires much patience and calmness not only in patients but also in doctors. He also said that the lens is very delicate and thin which requires a skilled doctor to implant in a patient's eye. The surgery took around 10 min and it's one of the quickest surgeries ever done. The patient after surgery drove the car back home by himself. |
