Tongji Hospital is a professional ophthalmic hospital, and ICL surgery for myopia is one of its common surgical options. However, many patients will worry about the side effects of surgery and possible complications after surgery when considering surgery.

Preoperative preparation
Before ICL surgery for myopia, professional doctors of Tongji Hospital will conduct a detailed eye examination and assessment of the patient to determine the feasibility and indications of the surgery. The doctor will evaluate the patient's eye shape, intraocular pressure, corneal curvature and other indicators to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation.
In addition, the patient also needs to tell the doctor about his/her physical condition and allergy history in detail to avoid possible allergic reactions during the operation. Adequate and accurate preoperative preparation is an important factor to ensure the smooth operation and avoid side effects.
Operation process
The ICL surgery for myopia in Tongji Hospital is a minimally invasive surgery, which changes the refractive state of the eye by implanting a flexible intraocular lens into the eye. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, so the patient can stay awake. The doctor will make a small incision in the cornea, and then implant the flexible intraocular lens into the eye.
The procedure is usually short and usually completed within 20-30 minutes. The patient will feel some slight discomfort and dryness of the eyes, but these feelings can usually be alleviated by using eye drops.
Postoperative maintenance
After surgery, doctors in Tongji Hospital will provide detailed postoperative maintenance guidance for patients to ensure the stability of the surgical effect and the comfort of patients. First of all, patients need to avoid intense eye activities, such as strenuous exercise and long-term use of computers, so as to avoid excessive intraocular pressure and affect the surgical effect. Secondly, patients need to use eyedrops according to the doctor's recommendations, and follow the doctor's return visit schedule for regular review.
In addition, patients should avoid exposure to irritants, such as smoke, dust and heavily polluted environment, to avoid eye discomfort and infection. Follow the doctor's advice and carry out good postoperative maintenance are important measures to reduce side effects and complications.
Possible complications
Although the risk of myopia ICL surgery under the guidance of professional doctors in Tongji Hospital is low, there are still some possible complications. Common postoperative complications include eye infection, tear film instability, elevated intraocular pressure, and postoperative visual fluctuation. However, these complications can usually be prevented and treated, and it is only necessary to consult a doctor in time and deal with them accordingly.
In Tongji Hospital, patients will receive a comprehensive examination and assessment before surgery, and doctors will know the patient's eye condition and health condition in detail to reduce complications.
