The dry one is the most common type of macular degeneration and affects 90% of the people who have the condition, while the wet one is much rarer, affecting patients in about 10%. In the dry form, there is breakdown or thinning of the layer of retinal PRE(Pigment Epithelial Cells) in the macula, and wet AMD occurs when there is an abnormal build-up of blood vessels in the eye. Usually the former one is more inclined to be cured.

It can only solve vision problems partly- the distant or nearby vision problems only. And the situation is much worse when receivers have astigmatism. This is also why some patients are still in need of glasses after standard IOL.

But there are much better options. Multi-focal IOL procedure can offer much better results. This procedure ensures that receivers can enjoy much wider and clearer vision field. But there is a possibility that receivers may get complications of some kinds.

Other IOL can also offer nice results. For example, crystalens procedure is very effective in offering both far and intermediate vision. This lens can adjust its power according to people’s movement.

In a word, there is no IOL procedures that can ensure perfect vision results and patients can not get rid of eyeglass in some cases. But it is still a good option.
