Discover how this innovative corneal implant restores near vision quickly, gently, and without permanent changes to your eye
With Allotex, patients regain their near vision
Find out how this revolutionary treatment helps you read, work, and live without reaching for your glasses.
Who is suitable for Allotex
- Allotex is suitable for adults over 40 who have good distance vision but need reading glasses for close-up tasks.
- It’s ideal for those not yet ready for lens replacement surgery (PRELEX).
- It is not suitable for people with severe dry eye syndrome or systemic conditions like psoriasis or severe eczema.
- If you have mild presbyopia but otherwise healthy eyes, Allotex may be a great option for restoring near vision without affecting your distance sight.
How Allotex works
- The Allotex procedure is quick, gentle, and outpatient-based.
- A femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in the cornea. A 2 mm transparent implant (made from human collagen) is inserted into the non-dominant eye to correct near vision.
- If you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, iLASIK is performed first before the Allotex implant is inserted. iLASIK-Behandlung.
- The entire treatment takes less than 15 minutes and is done under local anaesthesia.
- You can go home the same day and return to normal activities the next.
Advantages and disadvantages of Allotex
- Allotex corrects near vision and eliminates the need for reading glasses.
- It’s performed on the cornea, not inside the eye, making it gentle and minimally invasive.
- The treatment is fast, painless, and reversible.
- Recovery is quick, and you can return to work the next day.
- Unlike lens replacement, Allotex doesn’t cause glare or halos at night.
- However, the procedure may not be suitable for people with severe dry eyes or certain immune conditions.
Risks of Allotex
- As with any eye procedure, there are risks. These include mild discomfort, temporary blurry vision, or sensitivity to light during healing.
- Infection and inflammation are rare but possible.
- There’s a small chance the implant may need to be repositioned or removed.
- Some patients may not achieve full reading vision and might still need glasses for certain tasks.
- Your surgeon will evaluate your eye health to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you.
Options and alternatives to Allotex
- If Allotex is not suitable, other options include PRELEX and refractive lens exchange. Refractive lens exchange.
- These methods offer permanent correction of presbyopia but may involve more invasive procedures.
- A consultation will help determine which solution matches your lifestyle and vision needs.
Steps of Allotex
- First, your eye is examined to confirm suitability.
- On the day of the treatment, local anaesthetic drops are applied.
- A femtosecond laser creates a precise flap in the cornea.
- The transparent Allotex implant is placed in the non-dominant eye under the flap.
- If required, iLASIK is performed first to correct other vision issues.
- The flap is repositioned, and healing begins immediately.
- The entire process takes under 15 minutes.
- You can leave the clinic the same day and resume normal life the next day.
