Does ICL surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital have sequelae?

ICL (Implantable Collimer Lens) is a common myopia correction surgery, which is widely used in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital. Although this kind of surgery has shown significant effect in myopia correction, people generally pay attention to whether there may be surgery related sequelae. This article will elaborate on the possible sequelae of ICL surgery from four aspects: vision recovery, dry eye, night vision problems and acute reactions.

Visual acuity recovery

ICL surgery is to correct myopia by implanting foldable transparent intraocular lens. After surgery, people usually do not need to wear glasses or contact lenses to have good vision. However, some patients may have blurred vision or unstable vision after surgery. This condition is usually considered normal and will gradually reduce or disappear with the extension of recovery time.

Moreover, ICL surgery has no obvious impact on the shape of the cornea, so it will not cause problems such as corneal dryness or deformation. This enables most patients with ICL surgery to quickly recover their vision after surgery, and most of the sequelae are not obvious.

Dry eye is a common eye disease, which may occur after ICL surgery. However, the doctor of Preh Eye Hospital will conduct a comprehensive eye examination of the patient before surgery to assess whether the patient is suitable for ICL surgery. If the patient already has dry eye or potential dry eye risk, the doctor may recommend the patient to choose other methods to correct myopia.

In addition, ICL surgery will not produce significant pressure on the ocular surface, and the risk of dry eye is lower than that of traditional corneal refractive surgery. When dry eye occurs after ICL surgery, doctors can carry out targeted treatment according to individual conditions, which can usually effectively alleviate or correct dry eye symptoms.

Night vision problems

ICL surgery may cause vision problems at night, such as halos, reflections, or glare. This is because there will be a small gap between the intraocular lens implanted in ICL surgery and the natural lens in the eyeball, which will lead to the refraction of light between the lenses. However, with the adaptation and recovery of eyes, most patients can gradually reduce or eliminate these night vision problems.

In addition, the doctor of Preh Eye Hospital will conduct a detailed eye assessment before surgery to ensure that the patient has no other potential eye diseases, which can minimize the incidence of vision problems at night after surgery.

Acute reaction

Some acute reactions may occur after ICL surgery, such as decreased vision, eye discomfort or foreign body sensation. These reactions are usually temporary and will gradually disappear within a few days or weeks. The doctor of Preh Eye Hospital will give patients detailed postoperative nursing guidance to help patients alleviate possible acute reactions.

To sum up, although ICL surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital is very effective in myopia correction, there are also some possible sequelae. However, most of the sequelae are temporary and can be relieved or corrected through the guidance and treatment of doctors. Before considering ICL surgery, patients should fully understand the possible sequelae of surgery, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to make wise decisions.
