Can Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL Operation and Eyelid Operation be performed at the same time?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is a hospital specializing in ophthalmic medical services. When considering eye surgery, many patients often face a problem: can ICL surgery and eyelid surgery be performed simultaneously? Next, we will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.

Operation principle

First, let's understand the principles of these two operations. ICL (Implantable Collimer Lens) surgery is a kind of surgery to correct myopia by implanting foldable intraocular lens into the eye. The eyelid surgery is a kind of surgery to solve eye problems by adjusting or modifying the eyelid structure. The purposes of these two operations are different, so different parts need to be operated during the operation.

ICL surgery requires the placement of intraocular lens in the cornea, so corneal incision is required. The eyelid surgery needs to cut or suture the eyelid. Due to different surgical sites, ICL surgery and eyelid surgery differ in surgical principles, so it is difficult to perform them simultaneously.

Operation time and recovery period

Secondly, considering the operation time and recovery period is also an important factor to determine whether the two operations can be performed at the same time. ICL surgery usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, while eyelid surgery takes a shorter time, usually about 15-30 minutes. At the same time, the recovery period of ICL surgery is 1-2 weeks, while eyelid surgery often requires a longer recovery period, usually 2-4 weeks.

Considering the difference of operation time and recovery period, simultaneous ICL operation and eyelid operation will prolong the operation time and recovery period of patients, increase the operation risk, and may lead to increased postoperative discomfort. Therefore, it is generally recommended that patients perform these two operations separately to reduce the risk of surgery and improve postoperative comfort.

Surgical effect

The third aspect is to consider the effect of surgery. ICL surgery is mainly to correct myopia, while eyelid surgery is to solve eye problems, such as pouch, flabby eyelid, etc. The effects of these two operations are different. If these two operations are performed at the same time, it may affect the surgical effect.

Especially in the recovery period after surgery, the surgical effect may be unsatisfactory. Therefore, in order to maximize the surgical effect and avoid unnecessary trouble and additional surgical risks, patients are generally recommended to perform ICL surgery and eyelid surgery respectively.

summary

To sum up, the ICL surgery and eyelid surgery of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department cannot be performed at the same time. There are differences between the two operations in terms of operation principle, operation time, recovery period and operation effect. At the same time, the operation risk will increase and the postoperative effect may not be ideal. Therefore, patients should make appropriate trade-offs under the guidance of doctors and choose appropriate surgical methods to obtain the best corrective effect and satisfactory postoperative effect.
