What degree of myopia is the ICL operation of Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital suitable for?

Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital is an authoritative medical institution focusing on the treatment of eye diseases. It has advanced technology and equipment to provide patients with high-quality ICL (Implantable Collimer Lens) surgery. ICL surgery is an effective method to correct myopia, but what is the appropriate degree of myopia? The following is detailed from four aspects.

1. Myopia degree range

The degree of myopia suitable for ICL surgery usually ranges from - 3.00 to - 20.00. The more severe the vision degradation, the wider the scope of adaptation. ICL surgery is a common choice for patients with myopia ranging from - 3.00 to - 8.00 degrees. Of course, doctors also need to make a comprehensive assessment and judgment according to the patients' eye conditions.

The principle of ICL surgery is to implant an adjustable degree of transparent lens in the eye, so ICL surgery can also be selected for patients with high myopia below - 20.00 degrees. However, it should be noted that before choosing ICL surgery, patients should also undergo a comprehensive examination to ensure that the eye structure and other factors are suitable for surgery.

2. Age requirements

The suitable age range for ICL surgery is between 18 and 45 years old. This is because at this age, the eye development is basically stable, and the lens will not grow after wearing surgery, thus reducing the risk of surgery. For older patients, doctors may recommend other methods, such as laser myopia correction.

3. Pupil size and corneal thickness

Pupil size and corneal thickness are important factors for ICL surgery. If the pupil is too large, it may increase the risk of postoperative complications. In addition, insufficient corneal thickness may affect the surgical results.

Before ICL surgery, doctors will evaluate the pupil size and corneal thickness of patients through professional examination to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.

4. Other conditions

In addition to the above points, patients also need to meet the following conditions to be suitable for ICL surgery: no other eye diseases, such as increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, etc; No eye infection such as keratitis and conjunctivitis; No acute or chronic inflammation; No corneal or lens abnormalities.

In conclusion, the ICL surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital is suitable for myopic patients between - 3.00 and - 20.00 degrees, who are between 18 and 45 years old, whose pupil size and corneal thickness meet the requirements, and who have no other eye diseases. Before determining the specific degree suitable for ICL surgery, patients also need to go through a comprehensive assessment and inspection by doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
