Does Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL Operation Need Hospitalization?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital in China, with advanced equipment and professional medical team. In recent years, more and more patients choose to have vision correction surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, and ICL surgery is one of the common choices. Many people have doubts about whether the ICL operation needs hospitalization. The following will answer the questions from the aspects of the operation process, recovery time, precautions and hospitalization needs.

Operation process

ICL surgery is an ophthalmic surgery used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The operation process is roughly divided into two steps: first, the doctor will use professional equipment to measure the eyeball to determine the best ICL lens size and degree; Secondly, on the day of surgery, the doctor will place a small incision in the patient's eye corner and implant ICL lens into the eye. The whole operation process is short and accurate, usually only taking dozens of minutes.

ICL surgery does not require hospitalization. In Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, this kind of surgery is usually performed in the form of outpatient service. Patients can come to the hospital on the day of operation, conduct preliminary examination before the operation, and receive recovery guidance after the operation. The operation is easy and fast, and the patient can go home and rest on the same day.

Recovery time and considerations

Compared with traditional laser correction surgery, ICL surgery has shorter recovery time and less pain. Generally, patients can feel obvious vision improvement 1-2 days after surgery. However, in order to ensure the effect of surgery and avoid complications, patients need to pay attention to the following matters after surgery:

1. Remember the frequency and dosage of antibiotic eyedrops and anti-inflammatory eyedrops to avoid infection and inflammation.

2. Avoid external impact on the eyes, such as intense exercise, violent collision, etc., so as not to affect the eye recovery and surgical effect.

3. Keep eye hygiene and avoid touching eyes with hands.

4. Regularly go to the hospital for reexamination in strict accordance with the doctor's reexamination arrangement, so as to find and deal with any possible complications in time.

Inpatient needs

Because ICL surgery is safe and reliable and the recovery time is short, most patients do not need to be hospitalized. After operation, only attention should be paid to keeping eye hygiene, avoiding external impact and using eye drops correctly. However, for patients in special circumstances, such as patients with other basic diseases who need eye surgery at the same time, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department can also provide inpatient services to ensure safety and convenience in the process of surgery and recovery.

In conclusion, ICL surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department usually does not require hospitalization. The operation process is simple and fast, and the recovery time is short. However, patients still need to follow the doctor's guidance after surgery, pay attention to eye hygiene and medication, and return regularly to ensure the surgical effect and eye health. If there are special circumstances requiring hospitalization, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department can also provide corresponding services. Through ICL surgery, patients can improve the quality of vision and quality of life.
