Basic information of ICL surgery in Zhongshan Eye Hospital
Zhongshan Eye Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital with advanced equipment and excellent medical team. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) operation is an important ophthalmic operation in the hospital. ICL surgery is a kind of surgery to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism by implanting Keoma crystals. It is one of the most advanced, effective and safe ophthalmic surgery, and is favored by the majority of patients.
ICL surgery is a kind of non laser surgery, which is suitable for many patients, especially those who are not suitable for traditional laser surgery. It can correct vision problems without changing the shape and structure of the cornea. Therefore, most ophthalmologists believe that ICL is a relatively safe and controllable operation.
Examination and evaluation before ICL operation
Before ICL surgery, patients need to undergo a series of ophthalmic examinations and assessments to ensure the safety and suitability of the surgery. First, the doctor will perform a detailed eye examination to assess the shape, refraction and structure of the cornea. Next, the patient needs to undergo optometry to determine the degree and type of vision problems. In addition, the doctor will also check the intraocular pressure and fundus to exclude other potential eye diseases.
In the evaluation phase, doctors will also ask patients about their health status and expectations for ICL surgery in detail. They will explain the risks and precautions of the operation, and discuss the recovery and precautions after the operation with the patient.
Specific steps of ICL surgery
ICL surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, and no pain will be felt during the surgery. The operation will be performed in the operating room by an experienced ophthalmologist.
First, the doctor will make a small opening above or below the cornea through a small incision. Then, they will implant ICL into the eyeball slowly and gently. ICL will be placed in the space between iris and lens to correct vision problems. The operation is usually completed in tens of minutes.
After the operation, the doctor will clean and check the eyes to ensure that there are no complications. Then, the patient will be sent to the recovery room for observation and rest. The doctor will give eyedrops to promote eye healing and relieve discomfort. Patients can usually be discharged within a few hours and resume normal daily activities within a few days.
Advantages and precautions of ICL surgery
Compared with traditional laser surgery, ICL surgery has the following advantages and precautions:
First of all, ICL has a wide range of applications, even for patients with high myopia or hyperopia. Secondly, ICL surgery is reversible. If the patient's degree changes, ICL can be removed or replaced through simple surgery.
However, ICL surgery also has some considerations. First of all, surgery requires accurate eyeball measurement and surgical instrument operation, and the experience and skills of doctors are very important. Secondly, patients need to return regularly after surgery to ensure the effect of surgery and eye health. Finally, surgery has certain risks, including infection, increased intraocular pressure after surgery, and patients need to understand these risks before surgery.
