ICL Surgery in Delhi is Revolutionising Specs Removal

If you wear glasses or contact lenses and don't want to wear eyeglasses every day, then ICL surgery is perhaps the answer to your prayers. Millions of people around the world have chosen ICL to correct their vision (especially when they are not able to use laser procedures according to the shape and prescription of their eyes).

What Is ICL or Phakic IOL Surgery?

ICL is commonly referred to as "phakic IOL" (phakic intraocular lens), and during the more than two decades that ICLs have been approved for use, they have been used in many countries. ICL means Implantable Collamer Lens, and it refers to a type of vision correction surgery wherein a tiny lens is implanted in your eye to correct refractive errors. This procedure provides the freedom from glasses for many, mostly people who are not able to have the laser eye surgery.

Who is Suitable for ICL Surgery?

• ICL surgery is usually an option in adults with near-sightedness (myopia) and, in many cases, in patients with far-sightedness (hyperopia) and patients with astigmatism.
• People with high power that cannot be treated using LASIK or SMILE due to safety reasons are indicated for ICL in many cases.
• A major benefit of ICL is that it may be provided to individuals who have thin corneas or with stable keratoconus in whom laser face reshaping may not be safe.

Benefits of ICL Surgery

• One major benefit of ICL surgery is the quality of vision offered by this surgery. Since the positioning of the lens is so close to the place in which the eye naturally focuses, many patients enjoy much sharper, clearer vision.
• An additional big benefit is the fact that ICL never changes the cornea forever. This makes ICL a good option for people who have thin corneas with stable keratoconus or are not suited for a LASIK procedure.
• ICL is also capable of giving excellent vision to people with high refractive errors like -20, -25, as well, where other types of refractive surgery may not work.
• Another benefit is that modern ICLs (like EVO ICL) often include such benefits as UV protection and have no maintenance or cleaning requirements like external contact lenses.
• Because the cornea is not affected in any way, there is no risk of corneal ectasia weakening by this procedure.

How ICL Surgery Works

ICL surgery is most often performed using what is known as day care surgery, which means that you are admitted to the hospital on the operating day, but will go home once surgery is performed.

The following steps are considered:

• During the surgery, the surgeon creates a very small opening (3mm) in the eye in order to put the ICL.
• The lens is folded in order to be able to enter through this tiny cut, and the lens then unfolds and settles into its place behind the iris and in front of your natural lens and under the Iris.

This positioning allows the ICL to work with your eye's normal focusing system to best provide you with improved vision. You also have the advantage that if necessary in the future, the lens could be removed or replaced, and this is not an option with some types of laser surgery.

Types of ICL

The Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) are small soft lenses that are inserted in the eye, over the front of the natural lens and are used to correct your vision without distorting the cornea. The main types are:

1. Spherical ICL

• Corrects simple myopia or hyperopia (minus or plus power not with a significant cylinder).
• Applicable in a situation where the power is large in spherical form and low in astigmatism.

2. Toric ICL

• Corrects cylinder, as well as spherical power and astigmatism.
• Good with people of high figures as well as having great cylinder strength and wish to inquire brightly.

Most modern ICLs, such as EVO Visian ICL, also provide ultraviolet protection and are constructed with biocompatible material intended to remain within the eye for a long period of time.
