How long does Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL surgery take?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology is a well-known ophthalmic hospital located in Guangzhou, which provides various ophthalmic surgery services for patients, including ICL surgery. ICL surgery is a surgical method that can correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Then, we will elaborate on how long it will take for Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL surgery from four aspects: surgery preparation, surgery time, postoperative recovery and stable effect.

Operation preparation: professional examination and operation planning

Before ICL surgery, patients need to carry out a series of eye examinations in advance to assess whether their eyes are suitable for the surgery. This includes visual acuity test, intraocular pressure test, corneal topography, etc. Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has professional examination equipment and a team of doctors, which can ensure accurate assessment of patients' eye conditions.

According to the examination results, the doctor will develop a personalized surgical plan to determine the degree and location of ICL. This process requires a certain amount of time, usually within a few days before the operation.

Operation time: short but fine

ICL surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that usually takes only a few minutes to complete. Patients only need to stay in hospital for one day before they can be discharged. On the day of operation, the patient needs to receive local anesthesia, and the doctor will implant ICL into the eyeball through a small incision. This process requires highly accurate and meticulous operation to ensure the success of the operation.

Although the operation time is relatively short, the patient needs to be observed and recovered for a period of time after the operation to ensure stable surgical effect.

Postoperative recovery: gradually restore vision

After ICL surgery, patients may feel discomfort in the eyes, such as dryness, pain or blurred vision. These discomfort usually subside within one or two days. The patient needs to return regularly within a few days after the operation, and the doctor will check the eyes to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

In general, the recovery period of ICL surgery is relatively short, and the patient's vision will be significantly improved within a few days after surgery. However, the specific recovery time will vary depending on individual differences.

Stable effect: long-term correction of vision problems

After ICL surgery, most patients can immediately feel significant visual improvement. The transparent invisible piece implanted in ICL is fused with its own eyeball tissue, and does not need to be taken out or replaced. Once the surgical effect is stable, the patient's vision will remain stable and can effectively correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

It should be noted that ICL surgery does not rule out that patients may need to wear glasses, especially for older patients or patients with complex vision problems.

To sum up, the ICL operation in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department needs to go from surgical preparation to operation time to postoperative recovery, and the whole process usually takes days to weeks. Patients can recover quickly after surgery and have stable long-term vision correction effect.
