Does Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL Operation Need to Open Eyes?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital located in Guangzhou, which provides a full range of ophthalmic services. ICL (Implantable Collimer Lens) surgery is a common myopia correction surgery. One of the concerns of many people is whether this surgery needs to open the eyes. This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects: safety, surgical process, postoperative recovery and surgical effect.

Security

ICL surgery does not require eye incision, so it has certain safety advantages. During the operation, doctors implant ICL into the eye by making a corneal incision less than 3mm, which will not directly involve the cornea and the structure between the cornea and the eyeball. In contrast, traditional myopia correction surgery, such as LASIK, requires incision of corneal tissue, which has certain surgical risks. ICL has a small incision, less trauma to the eyeball, and the whole operation process is safer and more reliable.

In addition, ICL surgery is reversible. If the vision is not ideal or there is discomfort after the operation, the doctor can remove the implanted ICL by re operation.

Operation process

ICL surgery usually requires local anesthesia. During surgery, doctors will first make a small incision and create a tunnel under the cornea, then implant ICL into the tunnel through the incision, and finally fix ICL in the eye through a self repairing incision.

The whole operation process usually takes only a few minutes, and the patient will not feel pain. ICL surgery is less traumatic and recovers quickly after surgery. Generally, normal life can be restored within 1 to 2 days.

Postoperative recovery

The recovery after ICL surgery is fast, and patients can generally feel obvious vision improvement within 24 hours. After surgery, patients should pay attention to eye hygiene, prevent infection, and return regularly to ensure recovery. During recovery, some patients may have short-term discomfort such as vision fluctuation and dry eyes, which are normal reactions.

Surgical effect

The effect of ICL is stable and lasting. Through ICL implantation, appropriate lenses can be customized according to individual conditions to effectively improve myopia, astigmatism and other eye problems. After surgery, patients can obtain clear vision and get rid of the shackles of glasses or contact lenses. After ICL surgery, the degree of myopia can be reduced to 0~- 1D, and the quality of vision can be greatly improved, bringing better quality of life to patients.

To sum up, Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL surgery is a myopia correction surgery that does not require eye incision. It has high safety and reversibility, simple operation process, rapid postoperative recovery, stable and lasting operation effect. If you are looking for a safe and effective method of myopia correction, ICL surgery can be a choice worth considering.
