How Long Do Implantable Contact Lenses Last?
Implantable contact lenses, often referred to as ICLs, are designed to last a lifetime. In most cases, the lens remains stable in the eye for decades without needing replacement. That said, natural age-related changes, such as cataracts, may still require treatment later in life.
Can Implantable Contact Lenses Fix Astigmatism?
Yes, implantable contact lenses can fix astigmatism. In particular, toric ICL lenses are designed to correct both astigmatism and short- or long-sightedness at the same time, helping patients achieve clear, stable vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses.
Are Trifocal and Multifocal Lenses the Same?
I get asked this question more often than you’d think.
Usually halfway through a consultation, just as everything starts to sound a bit too technical.
“Wait… are trifocal and multifocal lenses the same thing?”
Light Sensitivity in the Eyes
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, is one of those symptoms people often dismiss until it starts affecting daily life. It can begin subtly. You find yourself squinting more than usual on a bright day, turning screens down lower than others, or avoiding night driving because headlights feel harsher than they used to. Over time, it becomes less of an inconvenience and more of a constant adjustment.
Life After Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery has advanced significantly, particularly with treatments such as SMILE® Pro and modern LASIK, but recovery is still a journey. Understanding that journey properly helps patients feel confident, prepared, and realistic about their results. At EuroEyes London, we guide patients not just through surgery, but through every stage of recovery. What follows is a clear, experience-led view of what life looks like after laser eye surgery, from the first few hours through to long-term vision.
Eye Twitching After Laser, Lens And Cataract Eye Surgery
It’s a small thing, but it can feel surprisingly unsettling. A few days or weeks after eye surgery, you notice a flicker in your eyelid. Not painful, not constant, just a light, repetitive twitch that seems to come and go without warning. For many patients, it raises an immediate question.
Is this normal?
