Overview ICL / Implants

The ICL procedure, or Implantable Collamer Lens surgery, is a surgery in which a pair of artificial lenses is implanted permanently into the eyes. Because the lens is inserted permanently, it does not have to be removed as with standard contact lenses. These tiny corrective lenses restore sight over time.

ICLs are placed between the natural lens and iris of the eyes to treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This lens bends light rays towards the retina, resulting in normal good vision. ICLs are similar to contact lenses that are permanently implanted in the eyes. ICLs do not offer a full guarantee to fix all vision problems, but they can reduce the dependency on eyeglasses and contact lenses.

ICL surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning you won’t have to stay in the hospital overnight. The surgery itself only takes about 15 minutes per eye. Recovery time is also short, with most people being able to see well enough to drive within a day or two.

ICL / Implants Procedure

ICL surgery is quick and straightforward. It takes around 20 to 30 minutes, and the process is simple. One week prior to surgery, you must visit your ophthamologist for a checkup. They will examine your eyes’ health. Then a laser will be used to create tiny holes between the anterior chamber and natural lens. These holes will help relieve pressure and fluid build-up in the eye post-surgery.

You may also be put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops, which you’ll need prior to surgery. 

The procedure will begin when the doctor gives you local anesthesia around the eye to help you relax. Your eyes are then held open with a lid speculum. A lubricant is applied to protect the cornea. Now an incision is made and ICL is inserted through it. The lubricant is removed and the opening is closed with tiny stitches. Eye drops or an ointment is applied in the eye, and hence covered with an eye patch to protect it for the time being.

After the surgery, you will rest in the recovery room for a couple of hours and be monitored closely. You’ll have a follow-up appointment the next day.

Some of the advantages of ICL / Implant surgery are:

  • Correct vision without any natural tissue being destroyed or molded in any manner, making them a possible alternative of LASIK.
  • Less likely to induce dry eyes than other refractive surgeries because no part of the eye is removed during ICL surgery.
  • With minor issues of haloes, distortions of light, and sensitivity to bright light, ICL gives superior nighttime vision than LASIK.
  • Recovery from ICL surgery is rapid because no eye tissue is destroyed during implantation.
  • ICLs can be used to restore eyesight up to 18 dioptres. They might become a viable alternative for patients with high refractive error who are not good candidates for LASIK.

Why ICL / Implant Surgery?

It’s vital to understand that each surgery technique has benefits and drawbacks. A patient must be evaluated by an ophthalmologist to determine which treatment is appropriate for him or her.
