Lampros Kariotoglou, 68 years old from Athens, has been an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon for over 30 years. Everything was going well in his life until he turned 35. At 35, he noticed the first signs of hyperopia. He couldn‘t see clearly either near or far, and this frustrated him.

Finding the perfect pair of glasses was difficult. No single pair of glasses could satisfy his visual needs. Searching for and switching between different glasses made his everyday life more difficult. As he got older, presbyopia set in and things got worse.

Finally, he decided to consider a Clear Lens Exchange surgery – with either a monofocal or multifocal intraocular lens.

Although Lampros carefully considered this option, in the end it was the positive feedback and excellent results from his own patients that convinced him. His surgeon was his own assistant.

He chose the EDOF-lens ACUNEX Vario and the multifocal lens ACUNEX Variomax to achieve his goal of being glasses-free again.

Both the surgeries and the visual results exceeded his expectations. On the evenings of both surgeries, he held consultations again as if nothing had happened.

The most liberating moment for him was when he woke up in the morning after both operations and could see clearly without glasses – and not just well, but excellently, from near to far.

Today, Lampros not only recommends intraocular lenses to his patients – he encourages them to do so. His own positive experience speaks from the bottom of his heart.
