Ohio Implantable Contact Lens : No More Thick Glasses

Are you one of those people who are burdened with acute myopia (near-sightedness)? Are you jealous of those people who can wear contact lenses, and don't have to mess with having glasses on their nose? Has your doctor told you that you're just not a candidate for contacts because your myopia is too severe? What if someone told you there was a way you can get rid of your "coke bottle" glasses forever? As a matter of fact, what if someone told you there was a way you can have fantastic vision without glasses, and never even have to hassle with removing, cleaning or replacing any contact lenses at all? You would probably tell them they're crazy, right? Well, not so fast. There are actually lenses which will allow you to see great, get rid of your thick glasses, and avoid the hassles of regular contact lenses, too. They're called Ohio Implantable Contact Lenses.

" 'Implantable'? What's that?"

An implant is something placed on the inside, and that's exactly how implantable lenses work. At first, you may think this sounds kind of scary. Of course, like any surgery there are always possible side effects, and you will want to discuss these with your doctor before you try implantable lenses.

"Is it safe?"

It's actually a safe procedure that is routinely performed all of the time on thousands of patients with acute myopia like yourself.

"Are these those lenses that replace cataracts?"

These lenses are not the kind you may have heard of for patients with cataracts; where their natural lens has become cloudy, and must be removed and replaced with a synthetic lens. Instead, Ohio implantable lenses work in conjunction with your natural lens to correct your vision from inside your eye.

"How does it work?"

The implant is rolled into a tube shape, and inserted into your eye through a tiny incision. Once inside your eye, it then unrolls safely in front of your natural lens. After a brief recovery period, you'll be able to see great without your old glasses, and without having to place any contacts on the front of your eyes.

"How do I find these lenses?"

You will also see Ohio implantable lenses referred to as "Columbus Implantable" lenses, or "Phakic intraocular" lenses (not to be confused with regular intraocular lenses used for cataract patients as described above). A simple internet search will turn up tons of resources that will tell you all about these lenses. Talk to your doctor, who can tell you all about the different types available, and which type may be best for you.

"What if I want to remove these lenses later?"

Realistically, since these lenses are implanted inside your eye, they are intended to be permanent. Besides, not having to remove them is one of the biggest attractions for most people. With traditional contacts, you have to remove them, clean them, soak them, replace them, re-insert them, etc. With implantable lenses, they're put in, you see great, and pretty soon you forget you even have them.

"So, what's the bottom line?"

As you can tell, if you have acute myopia, Ohio implantable contact lenses may be just what you've been waiting for. You can get rid of the old "coke bottle" glasses; you can avoid having to deal with always removing and cleaning any contact lenses; and you can enjoy having fantastic vision and forgetting that you ever had any problem seeing. There's a little hassle at first, having to undergo some proven, safe surgery, and a short recovery. But the benefits can add such a new freedom to your life, you owe it to yourself to at least schedule a visit with your doctor to find out if implantable lenses are a good choice for yourself. It may be the first step to a new life, finally free from the burden of poor eyesight.
