If a person has high power, and is unfit for Lasik, Epilasik or ICL phakic implant, then we can remove his natural lens from the eye, and implant an intraocular lens. The technique is similar to that of a cataract surgery. Because of high power, and the surgery, the chances of retinal detachment are higher.
