Refractive Lens Surgery:         

Lens Surgery Transforms the Way You View Your World Forever

Are you tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses? Then 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 benefits, 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 at his Calgary Clinic. 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.

Types of Lens Surgery

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, then replacement with an artificial lens implant.
  • Phakic Lens Insertion is a procedure to place an artificial lens implant in front of your iris to correct distance vision and maintain the accommodative power of your natural lens which is left intact.  

At Demong Associate Eyecentre in Calgary, Alberta,  Dr. Demong is committed to using the latest proven technology to help you see your best. Accordingly, he is currently offering Refractive Lens Exchange or Phakic Lens Insertion as an alternative to Laser Eye Surgery using the latest approved acrylic len implants. Unlike Laser Eye Surgery, Refractive Lens Exchange 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 those positioned in front of the iris. He has been one of five Canadian investigators involved in the final phase of a five year study of these lenses.  In December 2009, he became the first surgeon in Canada to offer them to his general patients.
