How Dr. Gulani Corrects Vivity Lens Side Effects Without Taking Patients Back to Surgery
The Vivity Lens, part of the new generation of extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (IOLs), has revolutionized the way cataract and presbyopia patients experience vision correction. Unlike traditional multifocal IOLs, the Vivity Lens aims to provide a continuous range of vision from near to distance without the significant glare and halos often associated with multifocal designs. However, as with any surgical intervention, patients may experience unique challenges or side effects that require a nuanced approach to achieve optimal outcomes.
Dr. Arun Gulani, a world-renowned eye surgeon, is a world destination for patients with failed Vivity lens cataract surgeries and has pioneered techniques to address these side effects and ensure his patients not only see but see exceptionally well. Here, we delve into the common issues with the Vivity Lens and how Dr. Gulani’s personalized methods transform outcomes for his worldwide patients.
Understanding Vivity Lens Side Effects
While the Vivity Lens boasts a lower incidence of visual disturbances compared to multifocal lenses, some patients report:
- Glare and Halos: Although reduced compared to multifocal IOLs, some patients still experience mild glare or halos around lights, particularly at night.
- Reduced Contrast Sensitivity: Patients may notice difficulty discerning objects in low-light or high-glare environments.
- Blurry Intermediate Vision: The lens may not always deliver the expected seamless range of focus, leading to challenges with intermediate tasks.
- Residual Refractive Errors: Some patients may end up with slight myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism that impacts their overall visual clarity.
Dr. Gulani’s Tailored Approach to Correction
Dr. Gulani’s philosophy centers on blending art and science to create bespoke solutions for each patient. He believes in enhancing the synergy between the cornea and the implanted lens, treating each case as unique. Unlike most doctors whose knee jerk reaction is to take the patient back under the knife in the surgical center to exchange the lens with possibilities of further complications, and yet leaving the corn here uncorrected, Dr. Gulani uses his advanced techniques to leave the lens inside the eye while modifying its optics with a least interventional laser technique.
- Diagnostic Precision
Dr. Gulani begins with an exhaustive evaluation of the patient’s visual system using advanced diagnostic tools. This allows him to pinpoint the source of the visual disturbance—be it residual refractive error, corneal irregularities, or lens-related issues.
- Corneal Optimization
A key element of Dr. Gulani’s strategy is building complementary optics on the cornea to align with the Vivity Lens implant. Using state-of-the-art laser techniques such as:
- LazrPlastique®: Dr. Gulani’s advanced laser vision correction technique fine-tunes the corneal shape to enhance focus and eliminate residual errors.
- Astigmatism Correction: Precision-guided treatments correct any residual astigmatism that may compromise the lens’s performance.
- Enhancing Contrast Sensitivity
To address reduced contrast sensitivity, Dr. Gulani employs his proprietary techniques to refine corneal optics, ensuring a clearer visual pathway. This often results in improved performance in low-light conditions.
- Addressing Glare and Halos
For patients experiencing glare and halos, Dr. Gulani’s expertise in light-sculpting techniques ensures better light distribution and alignment. By optimizing corneal and lens interaction, he mitigates these side effects without the need for lens exchange.
- Seamless Range of Vision
To ensure patients achieve the promised seamless range of vision, Dr. Gulani’s surgical algorithms focus on aligning the optical zones of the cornea with the Vivity Lens’s design. This results in a natural transition from near to intermediate and distance vision.
Outcomes That Speak for Themselves
