Preparation before operation
Before considering receiving ICL surgery for myopia, patients need to prepare for some necessary work. First, the patient needs to have a comprehensive eye examination to ensure the indications for surgery and the patient's eye health. The doctor will assess the patient's corneal thickness, ocular curvature and the degree of demand for myopia correction.
Secondly, patients need to discuss the risks and effects of surgery in detail with doctors. ICL surgery is a safe and effective myopia correction surgery, but there are still a few patients may have some complications, such as infection, dry eye or visual quality decline. Therefore, patients need to fully understand the risks of surgery and make decisions according to their own conditions.
Finally, patients need to discontinue any drugs that may affect the surgery in advance, such as some anti-inflammatory drugs, antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants, to reduce the risk of surgery. In addition, patients also need preoperative anesthesia before surgery to ensure the smooth operation.
Postoperative recovery process
ICL surgery is usually a very safe and effective surgery, and most patients can quickly recover their vision after surgery. After the operation, the patient will feel some slight eye discomfort or blurred vision, but these symptoms will usually be relieved within a few days.
On the first day after surgery, the patient needs to rest and avoid any strenuous activities. The doctor will provide some eye drops or ointment to help relieve eye discomfort and promote healing. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice for eye care to avoid rubbing or strong eye irritation.
On the second day after the operation, the patient needs to return to the hospital for the first follow-up. The doctor will check the eye condition and assess the recovery of vision. Patients may be told to continue using antibiotic eye drops or other care measures to promote healing and prevent infection.
In the first week after surgery, the patient's vision may be improved to varying degrees. However, the final stabilization of vision may take several months. In this process, the patient needs to visit the hospital regularly for reexamination, and the doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the vision condition.
Time to achieve good vision
The recovery time of ICL surgery varies from person to person. When the vision can reach a good level depends on the individual's healing ability and the speed of corneal adaptation. Generally, most patients can recover to a relatively clear vision level within one month after surgery.
However, some patients may take longer to achieve optimal vision. This may be caused by slight corneal edema, corneal infection, postoperative xerophthalmia or corneal instability after surgery, which may require additional treatment and observation.
Within a few months after the operation, the patient needs to be reviewed regularly according to the doctor's recommendations. The doctor will track the recovery of the patient's vision, and make treatment adjustments according to individual conditions. Through correct nursing and close supervision by doctors, most patients can finally achieve ideal vision.
