Macular Degeneration/Bests sufferer. Can IOL/phakic make it worse?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello, I am 27 and 3 years ago I was diagnosed with MD, specifically Bests disease.
I have recently found out about IOL/Phakik which I qualify for in terms of perscription. I wanted to check what the risk level would be for making it worse in terms of macula degeneration if I had the implantable contact lense procedure?
Thank you

Please research stemcell repair also.
Kind wishes

Hi
I have also recently been diagnosed with bBest's disease (although I am 68). I wasn't aware that there was an implantable contact lens available on NHS. Apparently I am okay for the next 5-10 years, but would be interested to hear how you get on with with lens if you do decide to have it done
