Implantable Collamer Lens or ICL is a small and biocompatible lens that is implanted inside the eyes through surgical means to correct refractive errors.
ICL surgery is the alternative to LASIK; through this method, the lens is permanently fixed inside the eyes.
The advantage of this surgery is that individuals can get rid of glasses or contact lenses forever. It is a convenient and reliable process that provides lifelong solutions for solving vision problems.
ICL surgery is recommended to patients mainly when they have myopia,, i.e., they find it difficult to see objects that are far away from them but can see nearby things easily. Doctors usually consider ICL surgery when LASIK is not a suitable option for the patients. The lens used in ICL surgery is placed between the iris and the natural lens, which helps the patients to get clear vision after the surgery.
In this surgery, a small cut is made in the cornea for inserting the lens inside the eyes. Though reliable and effective, it requires precision and expert supervision. At Shruta Eye Care, we have high-quality modern technological instruments to conduct ICL surgery. We aim to provide patient-friendly services that will ensure our patients enjoy lifelong benefits after availing of the services at our clinic.
LASIK is a method that is used to correct vision problems by shaping the cornea. ICL surgery ensures clearer eyesight by implanting an artificial lens inside the eyes.
Though ICL surgery is a safe and reliable procedure, it comes with certain risks because of the surgical intervention. In case the implantation of the lens isn’t proper, there can be complexities like loss of vision, change in eyesight, or infection.
Whether you can undergo ICL surgery depends on your eye condition. It is recommended to consult an ophthalmologist to understand whether you need ICL surgery.
The lens implanted through ICL surgery lasts for a lifetime. However, the surgery is reversible, and the lens can be removed from the eyes by conducting another surgery.
A soft lens is made of polymeric material that is soft and easily implanted inside the eyes. It is beneficial because the chances of eye damage are minimized during the surgery.
The main aim of ICL surgery is to get rid of glasses after the surgery. Hence, it enhances the natural appearance of a person.
Though the lens can be removed after the surgery, it involves some amount of risk. While removing the lens, the eyesight may get damaged, and the vision may weaken.
You can resume work within a few days after the surgery as per recommendation of your doctor. However, ensuring safety measures to protect eyes from damage is essential.
A 100% satisfying outcome may not be guaranteed after the surgery. The success of the surgery will depend on individual eye conditions.
The terms and conditions of medical insurance vary. So, consult your insurance provider and healthcare provider to know the details and surgery cost.
