Ocular Implants
Ocular implants are medical devices designed to replace or support the function of the eye. They can be used to treat various conditions, such as cataracts, retinal diseases, or to improve vision in patients with low vision. Common types include intraocular lenses (IOLs) and retinal implants, which help restore sight or enhance visual capabilities.
These implants are typically made from biocompatible materials, ensuring they are safe for long-term use within the body. The procedure for implantation usually involves surgery, and recovery times can vary depending on the type of implant and the individual’s health. Regular follow-up care is essential for optimal results.
