What is ICL Lens Implantation? Hurry, hurry

ICL is a specially designed "lens" implanted into a safe area of the eye to correct refractive errors, and is a more suitable surgical plan for patients with high and ultra-high myopia. Compared with myopia laser surgery, ICL lens implantation can be corrected to a larger extent, and more importantly, it is a reversible surgical method, and the lens implanted in the eye can be stable for a long time without maintenance, and can be removed or replaced at any time when there is a special need. Like myopia laser surgery, ICL lens implantation requires a rigorous preoperative examination, not only to confirm the eye condition, but also to tailor the ICL lens to each patient's eye condition.

First of all, ICL lens implantation surgery can be used to correct a wide range of myopia, astigmatism, without removing or destroying corneal tissue, without the need for post-surgical sutures. Secondly, ICL crystals can only be produced by one company in Switzerland in the world, using high-tech materials "eye-watching". In addition, ICL surgery has very strict requirements for surgeons, which need to be completed by a team of physicians who are internationally EVO ICL accredited.

The characteristics of lens implantation surgery are still very, very complex, which can not be explained in one sentence or two sentences.

ICL implantation, also known as phakic posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, is currently the main way to correct myopia, especially high myopia. Physician Advice: The basic principles of surgery are:

A posterior chamber intraocular lens is re-implanted on the surface of the normal lens to change the refractive state of the eye, thereby improving vision. Preventive measures: A common complication of ICL lens implantation is that it will cause initial cataracts, once this happens, the implanted ICL lens should be removed, and then cataract surgery should be performed, and the intraocular lens can be reinserted, and the original state can generally be restored.

The lens of ICL lens implantation can be tubed for a lifetime and does not need to be replaced, so you can maintain good vision all the time. If cataract occurs after the age of 60, it will not affect cataract surgery.

ICL lens implantation is more effective in correcting high myopia. In terms of surgical results, both are superior. After both intraocular lens implantation and laser surgery, vision can be restored to the best corrected visual acuity when wearing glasses, and the visual quality is superior.

ICL lens implantation is a soft crystal made of Collamer's patented collagen polymer material, and an intraocular lens is injected into the safe area of the posterior chamber of the human eye through an extremely tiny incision to correct myopia, myopia with astigmatism and hyperopia. After the correction, the incision can heal naturally and quickly, and the whole correction process only lasts for 10 minutes, and the eye can be used normally the next day. It has a wider correction range, which can correct 50-1800 degrees of myopia and astigmatism within 600 degrees, especially suitable for patients with high myopia.

Any surgery is risky. In the case of ICL lens implantation surgery, the risks are relatively small, mainly from the surgical operator. If the surgeon is skilled and experienced, the risk is much smaller.

Doctors will strictly screen patients according to the indications and contraindications of surgery to avoid postoperative complications. In addition, many examinations should be completed before surgery, such as corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell count, anterior chamber depth, pupil size, and fundus to determine whether the patient is suitable for this surgery.

ICL surgery is currently the most advanced intraocular lens implantation ** myopia eye, the operation is very good but there may be sequelae or complications, ICL surgery is mainly for patients with thin cornea or poor corneal conditions, can not undergo excimer laser surgery. If intraocular lens implantation is performed, the intraocular condition should rule out inflammation, and the anterior chamber is deep enough to implant the ICL lens without secondary glaucoma. Therefore, it is very important to measure before ICL surgery, if the measurement is not accurate, it can correct poor vision, astigmatism, secondary glaucoma or cause secondary cataracts, but if these complications occur, ICL surgery is reversible because the lens can be removed.

Lens implantation is an emerging surgical method that is excellent for solving the problem of high and ultra-high myopia! The operation is characterized by reversibility, high quality of viewing angle, and little change to the patient's eye structure! After surgery, there is a possibility of increased intraocular pressure, secondary glaucoma, and cataracts.

But as surgical techniques mature, complications become less and less.

Strictly speaking, surgery will be risky, in order to ensure the safety and postoperative effect of ICL lens implantation, there are more than 10 examinations before ICL surgery, and all of them can meet the requirements.

ICL crystals are divided into banded astigmatism crystals and non-astigmatism crystals.

Your doctor will choose for you based on the results of the test.
