A young man with very high myopia (-15 to -17) had been dependent on heavy glasses and found contact lenses uncomfortable. After thorough evaluation at SSEI, he was found suitable for customized Phakic IOL implantation.
With two smooth surgeries performed by Dr. @manecknicholson (Faculty – Cataract, Refractive & Community Ophthalmology Services), his vision improved to 20/20, freeing him from thick glasses and giving him new confidence.
This case highlights how advanced surgical solutions like Phakic IOLs can transform lives for patients with high myopia.
