I examine her eyes. Her cornea is not particularly thick which means I can’t treat more than about half of her glasses prescription with laser eye surgery. What she does have going for her though, is nice big eyes, so there is plenty of space inside her eye between the cornea and the iris and between the back of the iris and her lens. Maria is in fact an ideal candidate for an implantable lens. Laser eye surgery to her cornea is not going to address her problem as she will still need a strong pair of glasses even after surgery. Laser lens surgery could address all of her glasses prescription, but would rob her of her ability to change focus from distance to near – an ability that she will have for at least the next twenty years. However, an implantable lens would correct all of her prescription and preserve her own natural lens intact so that it can continue to provide focus at a range of distances for decades to come.

The implantable lens I recommend for her will sit in the space between her iris – the coloured part of her eye – and her natural lens (Fig. 1). Another type of implantable lens actually ‘clips’ onto the iris but is invisible to the naked eye.
