Eligibility
| LLR ICB will fund intraocular lens implants as follows . Lens implants for astigmatism Standard intraocular lens implants will be provided when patients have surgery, not Toric intraocular lens implants. The standard intraocular lens (IOLs) design used for surgery in the NHS is the monofocal IOLs. . Toric Intraocular Lenses (IOL) for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Will not be routinely funded. This is due to a lack of quality evidence regarding the long term clinical effectiveness of this procedure. There is some evidence to support a case for clinical effectiveness yet the overall quantity of that evidence is such that there is too great a measure of uncertainty over whether the claims made for treatment can be justified. |
