Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Surgery at Crystal Eye Care
If you are seeking an effective solution for poor eyesight but are not suitable for LASIK, Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery may be the right option for you. This advanced procedure is designed to correct refractive errors and provide clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts.
What ICL Surgery Does
ICL surgery is primarily used to treat refractive errors such as:Short-sightedness (Myopia): Difficulty seeing distant objects.
Long-sightedness (Hyperopia): Difficulty focusing on close objects.
Astigmatism: Blurred vision caused by an irregularly shaped cornea.
By implanting a thin, clear lens inside the eye, ICL can significantly enhance visual acuity, helping you achieve clear, sharp vision.
How ICL Surgery Works
During the ICL procedure, a highly skilled surgeon carefully implants a Collamer lens, which is made of a biocompatible combination of plastic and collagen, inside the eye. The lens is placed between the natural lens and the iris, correcting refractive errors and providing sharper, clearer vision. Unlike LASIK, ICL does not alter the shape of the cornea, making it a great option for patients with certain eye conditions.
Benefits of ICL Surgery
Non-invasive Option for LASIK Candidates: ICL is an excellent alternative for those who are not eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas, dry eyes, or other factors.
Removable: If needed, the ICL lens can be removed or replaced, offering flexibility that LASIK cannot provide.
Maintenance-Free: Once the lens is implanted, there is no need for ongoing maintenance. It stays in place, providing long-term results without regular adjustments
Side Effects of ICL Surgery
As with any surgical procedure, there may be temporary side effects, including:
Blurred vision: This may occur during the early stages of recovery.
Light sensitivity: Sensitivity to light, particularly bright lights or glare, may occur during the healing process.
Glare in the dark: Some patients may experience glare when looking at bright lights in low-light conditions, but this typically improves as the eye heals.
Recovery from ICL Surgery
One of the great advantages of ICL surgery is its quick recovery. Most patients can go home the same day of the procedure. However, you will need a ride home as the effects of the procedure may require rest. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled the next day to ensure that your eyes are healing properly. Most patients experience an improvement in vision within the first few days, and full recovery usually takes a few weeks.
Age Range for ICL Surgery
ICL surgery is FDA-approved for patients between the ages of 21 and 45. The ideal candidates are individuals who are experiencing refractive errors and wish to correct their vision without glasses or contact lenses, especially those who may not be suitable for LASIK.
At Crystal Eye Care, our team of expert surgeons is dedicated to providing the best vision correction options tailored to your individual needs. ICL surgery offers you the opportunity to live a life without the dependency on glasses or contacts, with the benefit of precision and a natural feeling.
