Refractive Lens Surgery:

Changing the Way You View Your World Forever

Are you tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses? Maybe it's time to consider Refractive Lens Surgery to introduce a whole new dimension of convenience and comfort to your everyday activities. By reducing or eliminating dependence on corrective eye wear, everything you view, and do, becomes just a little bit easier. Could this be the year you join the satisfied hundreds of thousands who have already undergone Refractive Lens Surgery?

Each Surgical Vision Correction procedure has specific suitability, depending upon the condition of your eyes and your motivation for surgery. Helping you select the most appropriate procedure for your needs is one of the many services Dr. Demong provides. While most will be good candidates for Laser Eye Surgery, it cannot meet the needs of all. High corrections and thin corneas are a poor combination for Laser Surgery but it doesn't mean you have to continue wearing glasses or contact lenses. Refractive Lens Surgery offers an alternative by changing your vision from inside the eye instead of on the surface of the eye.

Refractive Lens Surgery involves inserting an artificial lens implant inside the eye in one of two ways:

• Refractive Lens Exchange involves removal of the natural lens of the eye followed by replacement with an artificial lens implant.

• Implantable Contact Lens Surgery or Lens Augmentation Surgery involves insertion of an artificial lens in a position in front of your natural lens as a supplement to your own lens which is left intact. 

At Demong Associate Eyecentre, Dr. Demong is committed to using the latest proven technology to help you see your best. Accordingly, he is currently offering Refractive Lens Exchange as an alternative to Laser Eye Surgery using the latest approved acrylic lenses. Unlike Laser Eye Surgery, Lens Surgery can offer a comprehensive solution that will decrease your dependency or eliminate the need for both distance and reading glasses, using the latest multifocal lenses.

If you have a very high nearsighted correction, Implantable Contact Lenses may be for you. These lenses are available as two basic types: those positioned behind the iris and those positioned in front of the iris. The choice of design and placement is based primarily upon eye structure but Dr. Demong is most keenly interested in anterior lenses, those positioned in front of the iris. He is currently involved in the final phase of a three year study of Anterior Implantable Contact Lenses which he anticipates will result in FDA and HPB approval. Once approval for general clinical use has been granted, Dr. Demong will be pleased to add that procedure to his array of Surgical Vision Correction options. More detailed information about the lenses and procedure will be added to the website at that time.
