Premium intraocular lens surgery has become the most advanced option for correcting vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and surgical planning with artificial intelligence, it is now possible to enjoy clear, natural vision at all distances, without relying on glasses.
Dr. Ali Nowrouzi, a specialist in refractive, corneal and advanced cataract surgery, combines his extensive international experience with the most precise femtosecond laser techniques and the use of customised premium intraocular lenses, delivering the highest quality visual results in Marbella.
What are premium intraocular lenses?
Premium intraocular lenses are optical implants that replace the eye's natural lens during cataract or intraocular refractive surgery. Unlike standard single vision lenses, these lenses offer complete vision, tailored to the patient's visual needs and lifestyle.
Most commonly used types of premium lenses:
- Trifocal and multifocal: they allow close, intermediate and distant focusing.
- EDOF (extended focus): provide a smooth transition between distances and reduce night halos.
- O-ringsCorrect astigmatism with micrometric precision.
- Hybrid or customised lensesThe new design: combining different technologies for a perfect visual balance.
The importance of the pre-operative study with artificial intelligence
Visual success begins before the operating theatre. Dr. Ali Nowrouzi performs a thorough preoperative study with high-precision diagnostic equipment and artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of analysing the ocular anatomy with micrometric resolution.
This assessment includes:
- Advanced optical biometrics: exact calculation of the power and the ideal lens type.
- Corneal topography and aberrometrydetailed study of the shape and optical quality of the cornea.
- Astigmatism analysis with AIThe lens is used to identify complex patterns and determine whether it should be corrected with a toric lens or with femtosecond laser-guided incisions.
- Customised simulation of the visual resultThe lens is used to predict how the lens will behave in each eye prior to surgery.
- Assessment of corneal aberrations and personalisation of treatment
- In addition, using a high-resolution aberrometric study, Dr. Nowrouzi analyses the optical imperfections of the cornea (higher order aberrations) that can affect visual quality, even in eyes without significant prescription.
- Thanks to this information, it is possible to design a fully customised surgery with state-of-the-art laser technology, either Wavefront-guided or Topography-guided platforms, which correct these micro-irregularities and improve sharpness, contrast and night vision.
- This combination of advanced aberrometry, artificial intelligence and femtosecond laser planning enables micrometer-tight surgery and exceptionally precise visual results.
This individualised planning ensures a fully customised surgery, with more precise results and faster recovery.
The surgeon's experience and qualifications
Implanting a premium intraocular lens requires advanced training and proven surgical experience.
Dr Ali Nowrouzi holds the following international qualifications FEBOS-CR (Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology - Cornea & Refractive Surgery) and FWCRS (Fellow of the World College of Refractive Surgery), recognitions that endorse his specialisation and excellence in refractive and cataract surgery.
In addition, his experience in high-volume surgical centres, together with his participation in international scientific publications, allows him to offer each patient advanced optical planning and access to the most comprehensive technology available in Europe.
Advantages of premium intraocular lenses
- Multifunctional vision without glasses
They allow you to see clearly at all distances, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Complete correction of astigmatism
Thanks to customised toric lenses or femtosecond laser techniques, astigmatism can be corrected with maximum precision.
- Personalised micrometric surgery
The use of femtosecond lasers allows for accurate and reproducible incisions, with faster and safer recovery.
- Long-lasting and stable results
The lenses do not degrade over time, and corrected vision remains stable for years.
- New generations without halos
Lenses designed with artificial intelligence significantly reduce halos and night glare that could occur in previous models.
Disadvantages and how to handle them
- Halos and night glare
Some patients may notice halos after surgery, especially in the first few weeks. However, the latest generation of lenses has minimised this effect.
- Visual adaptation
The brain needs a short period of adaptation to process the new way of focusing.
- Dry eyes and visual instability
In some cases, a sensation of dryness or fluctuating vision may appear. Dr. Nowrouzi has advanced treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to restore tear stability and optimise visual comfort.
- Higher cost
Premium technology and personalised planning mean a higher investment, but with unparalleled visual results and quality of life.
Solutions and optimisation of results
Dr. Ali Nowrouzi applies a holistic approach to ensure maximum visual satisfaction:
- Customised laser retouching to adjust small residual defects.
- Ocular surface treatments (such as IPL or regenerative therapies) to optimise visual stability.
- Advanced digital tracking with AI systems to monitor visual evolution.
- Surgical adjustment by micrometre thanks to the femtosecond laser, adapting every detail to each patient's eye.
