If you are interested in pursuing Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay and ending the On, Off, On, Off conversation, then you will next need to schedule an appointment with your eye care provider to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure.
Once it is determined that you are an eligible candidate your eye doctor will implant a removable contact lens for five days to make sure you are able to tolerate the difference in vision. If you decide to move forward and schedule a procedure, you will be prescribed a steroid eye drop two days before surgery.
It’s also critical to have travel arrangements scheduled before your procedure as you will not be able to drive home following your surgery.
On the day of your procedure you will be administered a numbing eye drop by your doctor, so you won’t feel any pain. During the 10 minute procedure you will be laying on your back and focusing on a light, allowing your eye to remain as still as possible. Your surgeon will create flap in the cornea with a laser keratome laser cutting device, similar to the first step in LASIK. Your surgeon will then insert the Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay into the middle layer of the cornea. Your surgeon will then replace the flap, and the procedure is done. The eye heals itself, with no need for stitches.
There are some simple post procedure guidelines to assure your eye heals safely and as quickly as possible.
You will be required to wear an eye shield at night for up to four weeks to help prevent you from rubbing your eye while you sleep.
You will also be prescribed steroid and antibiotic eyedrops and will also need to use artificial tears in the eye with the Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay to help minimize the risk of infection, inflammation and dry eye.
One of the most amazing aspects of Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay is that you will be able to resume normal activities the day after your procedure!
After your surgery you should avoid rubbing your eyes, playing sports, wearing makeup, exercising, smoking, swimming, gardening, and being in dusty environments for at least one week after your procedure. It’s best to check with your eye care provider to determine when you can resume these activities.
As far as checkups are concerned you will likely see your doctor at one day, one week, one month and every six months post procedure. An annual eye exam should be minimum following the post-op check ups, and sooner if you experience an issues with your inlay implanted eye.
