The procedure of ICL Surgery

For ICL eye surgery, you meet an ophthalmologist a week before your surgery. They will use a laser to make small holes between the front of your eye (anterior chamber) and the natural lens. This prevents pressure and fluid from building up in the eye after the ICL procedure.

The ICL eye surgery involves several steps:

Before the ICL procedure for the eye, your eye doctor does a comprehensive eye test to evaluate the candidacy for surgery and measure the corneal thickness, refractive error, and overall eye health.
Then, your surgeon gives you anesthetic eye drops to numb your eyes.
After that, your surgeon cleans the area around your eye and opens your eyelid with the help of a lid speculum.
Then, the surgeon makes a small incision at the edge of the cornea in your eye. For cornea protection, they use a lubricant.
Then, the surgeon will insert the ICL through the small tube-like device (cartridge) into the eye's anterior chamber.
Once the ICL is carefully positioned behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of the natural lens, the lens unfolds and gently settles into place.
Then, the surgeon will remove the lubricant and check the alignment and stability of the ICL. The incision will heal on its own, it is so small there is no need for a stitch.
After that, your surgeon will put ointments or eye drops in the eye, and cover it with an eye patch.
For post-operative care, your surgeon gives instructions to prevent infection and promote smooth recovery.
After surgery, you may feel some mild discomfort or blurry vision but this resolves quickly.
Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your healing progress and check your vision. your surgeon will assess your visual acuity and complications.
Most patients experience improved vision within a few days after surgery, although the full stabilization of vision may take a few weeks. Avoid strenuous activities and swimming for a period your surgeon recommended to minimize the risk of complications.

ICL eye surgery corrects moderate to severe myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism and provides excellent visual outcomes.
The Implantable Collamer Lens is made up of collagen and copolymer which is well tolerated by the body and causes minimal inflammation or other adverse effects.

ICLs are available in a broad range of corrective powers, allowing customization to meet the unique needs of each patient's prescription.
Some patients experience, ICL eye treatment improves night vision compared to glasses or contacts.
ICL Provides long-term stability without inducing changes in corneal shape.
ICL is for people involved in active lifestyles like sports and swimming as it does not impose restrictions during recovery.

Potential ICL surgery side effects include glare, halos, dry eyes, increased eye pressure, infection, cataract formation, lens dislocation, corneal cell loss, and inflammation, though rare with proper management.

The results of ICL eye treatment are typically permanent, although age-related changes in vision (such as presbyopia) may develop later in life, necessitating reading glasses for close-up tasks.

Yes, the advantage of ICL surgery is that the lens can be removed or replaced, although this is rarely necessary.

ICL surgery is considered safe when performed by a skilled ophthalmologist. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, inflammation, and temporary visual disturbances, but serious complications are rare.
