Advantages of ICL surgery for high myopia

  ICL is often referred to as “implantable intraocular contact lens”, but the ICL in ICL actually stands for “implantable Collamer lens”. This is the name given to the unique material of the lens. This vision correction procedure, which “debuted” almost simultaneously with laser myopia surgery, has been clinically used in the field of ophthalmology worldwide for many years after being approved by the FDA. Compared to laser myopia surgery, ICL has better safety and predictability, and its main advantages are as follows: 1. High-tech lens, perfect fit for the eye The IOL used in ICL is made of Collamer, a unique body crystal material that originates from Switzerland, which is known for its fine quality. This specialized crystal material is more biocompatible than acrylic and silicone. The IOL sheet made from it is thinner than the diameter of a hair and can be folded. After entering the eye through the tiny microscopic hole, it fits perfectly into the eye tissue and the experiencer can hardly feel its presence.  Second, it does not change the eye, and is reversible and more humane The safety and effectiveness of ICL correction has been widely proven, with more than 300,000 surgeries completed worldwide, and the U.S. FDA has passed strict clinical verification. Unlike laser myopia surgery, ICL does not permanently alter the structure of the eye, but is placed covertly in the posterior chamber of the eye and works with the person’s own lens to correct vision.  It is worth mentioning that as we age, the eye cannot avoid other changes, such as presbyopia and cataracts. When other treatments are needed, the ICL IOL can be removed again without affecting the eye in any way. The ability to leave more space for the future is a commendable humanistic advantage of ICL technology itself.  III. Convenient and painless surgery and better visual effect ICL IOL is like a “miniature contact lens”, which is thinner than a hair and can be folded up to the extent that it is almost invisible to the naked eye. During the surgery, a painless, self-healing 3-micron hole is made in the eye, and the lens is placed into the eye with a precision syringe, and the IOL will automatically expand. The IOL is then automatically stretched out. Once it is firmly placed in the eye, the procedure is completed without sutures.  After a break of 4-5 hours, the ICL experience allows patients to open their eyes again and see a completely different and clearer world than before. – ICL can correct a wider range of myopia than laser myopia surgery, from 2000 degrees of myopia to high astigmatism, not only those with thin corneas and large curvatures that are rejected by laser surgery can experience perfect naked eye vision through ICL, but ICL does not change the structure of the eye, avoiding dry eye and glare. ICL does not change the structure of the eye, and avoids the risks of dry eye and glare, so the quality of vision is perfect. In Europe and the United States, ICL has become the preferred method of vision enhancement for top sports stars.
