•  What are the different types of vision correction treatments available?

Two. One that will retain the natural lens of the eye and the other that will not.

•  Will it hurt to have an "implantable contact lens" along side my natural lens?

No. In normal cases, it will not hurt you to have "implantable contact lens" along side the natural lens.

•  Will it be visible for anyone looking at me that I had an "implantable contact lens"?

Although, the implantation is visible, it may not show a significant difference and so the person who is looking at you has to look very closely to see the difference.

•  After my natural lens is removed and artificial lens does not suit me, what happens? Can I get my natural lens back?

No. The artificial lens replaces your natural lens to aid your vision. If that does not suit you, surgeon will be able to replace with some other alternative lens.

•  Do I need to be hospitalised for any of the surgeries?

No, all of the procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

•  Is the procedure performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic?

Local anaesthetic. In some cases, the patient or the ophthalmic specialist may prefer to have the operation performed under a general anaesthetic.

•  Is it possible to correct Presbyopia using laser eye surgeries?

No. Laser vision correction changes the curvature of the cornea. As presbyopia is the deterioration of the eye's ability to focus, surgery to the cornea will not correct this.

•  What advantages are associated with "refractive laser replacement" to LASIK?

Suitable for people with thin corneas or very high prescriptions. If you are already in your 40s or 50s, RLR vision correction will remain stable over time; whereas LASIK patients can still go on to develop presbyopia as they age. You will never require cataract surgery later in life.
