ICL surgery, also known as lens implantation, has become increasingly “hot” recently, with many patients inquiring about it and many showing a keen interest. As a professional doctor, what do you think? Here are some of my thoughts: First of all, there is no cure for myopia so far, only correction. That is, you don’t want to wear glasses, but can only be solved by means of surgery. And when it comes to surgery, there is naturally damage and risk. Myopia surgery development so far, the mainstream surgery or laser correction, in our country every year about ninety-five percent of the patients choose or laser. Why? The reason is simple, because it is relatively safe. Laser surgery is performed by cutting corneal tissue to correct myopia, and cutting sounds scary, but it is not. Most patients who have experienced the surgery will understand that the process is not complicated, only the psychological tension when covering the surgical hole, but it passes quickly and there is nothing painful to say. At the same time, the results are overwhelmingly good. Although there will be short-term problems such as glare and dry eyes after surgery, in the long run, laser surgery is the safest and most accurate, so it is the mainstream surgery at present. Looking at ICL again, it should be said that it is also a way of correction, when to choose it? It should be that you are not in a position to do laser before considering it. Why? The laser cuts the cornea but it does not, the laser is irreversible but it is reversible? If you think so then you are wrong. You should make a comprehensive judgment when choosing the surgery and not just go by your intuition, the risk of crystal surgery is far greater than laser. It is an internal eye surgery, which is a surgery to implant a foreign body into the eye. To say that it is risky is to say that it may cause irreversible damage to the structures inside the eye and irreversible effects on visual function, such as cataract, corneal endothelial damage, macular damage, glaucoma, intraocular infection, etc. So when is this option available? In layman’s terms, for patients who do not have the conditions for laser surgery, they can only consider crystal surgery, such as patients with thin corneas and high diopters, which can only be a complementary method to laser technology. Myopia patients are increasing day by day with the application of electronic products, which is a huge market behind, China is a large population, but also a large country of myopia, but when it comes to surgery, it is not only a market demand problem, but first of all a medical problem. Medicine is not a rigorous science, but every doctor should be rigorous in his or her treatment of patients, and the choice of surgical approach is crucial from a safety perspective! Many of my colleagues around me have undergone myopic laser surgery, and of course many still wear glasses, which does not prove that laser is not safe. In conclusion, I think we should be careful when choosing a surgical procedure, and choose laser if we can, and consider crystal surgery if we can’t.
