How ICL Surgery Works?
ICL are micro thin lenses implanted over the natural lens inside eye to correct spectacle power. It is similar to a contact lens placed in eye except that a contact lens is temporary and has to be put on daily basis whereas ICL in put inside the eye permanently. The vision with an ICL is better than that of a contact lens because the lens is a non moving lens and is better able to correct cylindrical power along with spherical power.
The implant surgery is done on an out-patient basis and takes 20 minutes to perform. The implant generally has very few side effects and is usually without complication. Severe complications occur in less than 1 percent of patients. However, as with any surgery, there are risks. Most are treatable. Also the procedure is reversible as the lens can be surgically removed.
ICL gives high definition vision and does not require creating corneal flap and corneal tissue removal as in LASIK, SMILE & other laser spectacle removal procedures. It also does not cause any corneal dryness as seen in LASIK, SMILE & others.
There are two types – toric that corrects cylindrical as well as spherical powers and spherical where in only spherical power is corrected Very high corrections up to -20.00D and +8.00D along with 6.00D of Astigmatism can be corrected.
