Risk Assessment of ICL Surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department
As the first comprehensive hospital focusing on ophthalmology in Guangzhou, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has advanced equipment and an experienced medical team to provide ICL surgery services for patients. However, like other operations, ICL surgery also has certain risks. This article will evaluate the risk of ICL surgery from the aspects of preoperative evaluation, surgery related complications, postoperative vision recovery and postoperative eye inflammation.
1、 Preoperative evaluation
Before ICL surgery, doctors will conduct detailed physical examination and eye examination for patients to assess the indications and risks of surgery. First, the doctor will evaluate the patient's corneal thickness and morphology, because ICL surgery needs to ensure sufficient residual corneal thickness. Secondly, the doctor will check the patient's intraocular pressure and eye structure to exclude the existence of other eye diseases. Finally, the doctor will also know the patient's personal history and family history in detail to assess the impact of possible genetic or chronic diseases on the surgical results. Through comprehensive evaluation, doctors can judge whether patients are suitable for ICL surgery and assess the risk of surgery.

2、 Operation related complications
ICL surgery, like other ophthalmic surgery, has a certain risk of complications. Common complications include short-term vision loss, temporary glare and night vision difficulty after surgery, and the situation that myopia may need to be adjusted after surgery. In addition, ICL surgery may also lead to rare but serious complications such as elevated intraocular pressure, eye infection and cataract. Although the incidence of these complications is low, patients should be informed of these potential risks before surgery and decide whether to operate according to the doctor's recommendations.
3、 Postoperative visual acuity recovery
The goal of ICL surgery is to correct myopia and improve patients' vision. Most patients will quickly recover their vision after surgery, but some patients may have vision ghosting, blurring or maladjustment. This is usually caused by factors such as postoperative corneal edema, corneal infection or choice of surgical methods. After the operation, the patient needs regular reexamination to find and deal with the problem of incomplete vision recovery in time to achieve the ideal surgical effect.

4、 Postoperative ocular inflammation
ICL surgery is to implant intraocular lens between the natural lens and posterior chamber fluid of the eye, so postoperative ocular inflammation is an important risk. Although the incidence of inflammation in ICL surgery is relatively low, it may still occur. Patients should pay attention to protecting their eyes after surgery to avoid contact with pollutants or improper eyedrops, so as to reduce the risk of postoperative infection. In addition, patients need to take regular reexamination according to the doctor's recommendations to find inflammation and treat it in time.
Summary
In general, Zhongshan ophthalmic ICL surgery is a safe and effective myopia correction surgery. However, patients should fully understand the risks and complications of surgery before choosing surgery, and judge whether it is suitable for surgery through the evaluation of doctors. After surgery, patients should pay attention to regular reexamination, and deal with problems related to surgery in time to ensure the best recovery of the surgical effect.
