How long does it take to recover after ICL lens implantation? Compared to keratomileusis (PRK, LASIK, femtosecond, etc.), ICL has a faster recovery. Long-term follow-up is more stable than with keratomileusis. How do I feel in the short term after ICL surgery? Very few patients may experience tearing and a foreign body sensation starting half an hour after surgery, usually due to the micro-incision. This is usually due to high intraocular pressure and should be reported to the surgeon for further treatment. What are the special features of post-operative vision after ICL surgery? ICL surgery is performed by implanting a special IOL in the patient’s posterior chamber, which preserves the natural adjustment function of the patient’s own lens. Even so, since the patient’s long-standing super high myopia is corrected at once, the re-establishment of its adjustment function requires an adaptation process. ICL post-operative diet and exercise precautions Short-term post-operative period should avoid stimulating foods, tobacco and alcohol, etc., and can eat more vitamin-rich foods. Be careful not to catch a cold, and avoid strenuous exercise for 3 months.
