PREMIUM PHAKIC – A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR HIGH MYOPIA AND THIN CORNEAS

Not everyone is suitable for laser-based refractive surgery. In reality, many people face challenges due to very high myopia, thin corneas, or an active lifestyle that makes wearing glasses or contact lenses inconvenient and tiring. For these cases, Premium Phakic is considered a more modern and comprehensive approach to refractive error correction.

Premium Phakic is particularly suitable for individuals with high myopia over 10 diopters, corneas that are not thick enough for laser procedures, and those who frequently engage in sports or work under high intensity, often experiencing eye fatigue from prolonged use of glasses. This group of patients previously had limited safe treatment options, but now has a more optimal solution.

Phakic surgery is a method that involves implanting a specialized intraocular lens inside the eye, specifically positioned behind the iris and in front of the natural crystalline lens. The key difference between Phakic procedures and laser methods is that Phakic does not alter or ablate the cornea. As a result, this approach can correct very high refractive errors, up to 30 diopters of myopia, 15 diopters of hyperopia, and 10 diopters of astigmatism, while preserving the corneal structure.

One of the major advantages of Premium Phakic is that it does not depend on corneal thickness. This significantly expands treatment opportunities for patients who were previously unsuitable for laser refractive surgery. In addition, its wide treatment range allows surgeons to personalize lens selection, including lenses capable of correcting high levels of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, precisely tailored to each eye.

Each Phakic lens is custom-designed based on the individual biological parameters of the patient, including refractive power, astigmatic axis, and anterior chamber structure. The lens material offers high biocompatibility, is safe for the body, and can remain in the eye long term. When necessary, the lens can be removed without damaging the natural structure of the eye, providing a level of flexibility that laser procedures cannot offer.

In terms of visual quality, many patients achieve clear, stable vision with high contrast after surgery. The lens also incorporates UV-filtering properties, helping to protect the eyes during daily activities and outdoor exposure. This is especially valuable for younger individuals, athletes, or those working in environments with strong lighting.

At the Vietnam–Russia International Eye Hospital, Premium Phakic is implemented in combination with the Callisto Eye surgical guidance system. This technology utilizes intelligent recognition and alignment capabilities to enhance surgical precision, thereby optimizing postoperative visual outcomes and improving overall patient safety.

Overall, Premium Phakic offers a modern, precise, and flexible option for individuals with high refractive errors or those who are not suitable candidates for laser procedures. Beyond significantly improving vision, this method also enhances quality of life, helping patients feel more confident in their work, daily activities, and physical pursuits.
