A photosensitive lens against small defects.<\/p>\n<p>The very first italian implants of lenses customizable with a ray of light, in place of the opaque lens after cataract surgery, are being performed in Milan, at the S. Giuseppe hospital (Hospital Order San Giovanni di Dio-Fate bene fratelli, Multi Medica Group). <strong>This new solution for a &#8220;high definition&#8221; vision<\/strong> is already used in France, Germany, Belgium and, since two years ago, in the United Stated.<\/p>\n<p>The lens&#8217;s value measuring to be inserted after surgery, is not yet perfect: &#8220;A -2 myopia could still be there, for example, and glasses would be needed>>, explains Fulvio Bergamini, head of the San Giuseppe&#8217;s operative ophthalmology ward, author with <strong>Federico Badala<\/strong> of the very first surgeries. <<Two weeks after surgery, with a photosensitive lens, we measure vision and check for defects like myopia, astigmatism or hypermetropia; the lens is then molded with light to the patient's needs. It is not a complete correction: we can correct up to 2 myopia diopters, 2 hypermetropia diopters and 2 astigmatism diopters.\n\nIt is not possible to do better than this>>, underlines Bergamini. Developed in California, the lens is a silicone polymer and is created with ultraviolet rays, <<just like a solar lamp>>. Sunglasses are suggested only during the first weeks after surgery: <<Exactly, because once the polymer is stabilized, it won't change anymore>>, explains Bergamini. Ten adults have been implanted up to date at S. Giuseppe; over the next week this number will rise up to fifty surgeries, so that it will be possible to have a follow up and evaluate results. <<International statistics are still partial, this is why it is best to be cautious>>, says Bergamini. We ask for more explanations.<\/p>\n<p>Is this polymer safe over time? <<There are no risks, it is already in use for intraocular lenses>>. When it is best not to implant the lens? << I would never think of using it on children, under no circumstances. And also in case of high degree myopia, if there are macular degenerations, vitro-retinal or glaucomatous pathologies. It could create problems over the next surgeries>>.<\/p>\n<p>This technology is pricier (500 euros against 100-150 of the traditional lens): often the S. Giuseppe hospital offer this procedure in convention with the national Health service.<\/p>\n<p>We ask Daniele Schwarz, MultiMedica CEO, why going for this procedure. <<The one we are experimenting in this hospital is a serious methodology,and a no-profit one. Is is meant for the patients, and its goal is not to bring more of them here. We want to make this new opportunity available for everyone in order to foster a virtuous circle \"cure-research-training\": we want to highlight innovation and technology for the patient>>.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:en-->&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It substitues the opaque lens and is &#8220;molded&#8221; to correct myopia or other problems.
