ICL Surgery

ICL Surgery

Although laser treatment is the gold standard method in the world to get rid of glasses, it cannot be applied to every patient. There may be various reasons for this. Among the most common reasons we encounter, the eye defect is too high, the corneal tissue to which we will apply the laser is thin or weak. The method we apply in such cases is called “phakic intraocular lens application”. In this technique, we mostly prefer the lens called Visian ICL.
Visian ICL application is an outpatient treatment. Surgical treatment takes between 7-12 minutes and is performed under drop anesthesia (without needles). The operation is painless and we follow our patients in our clinic for the first 4-6 hours after the treatment. For the treatment of the second eye, it takes between 1-7 days depending on the healing status of our patients or their preference. During treatment, the ICL is placed in the space between the iris and the lens, called the posterior chamber.
Advantages of ICL Surgery
Advantages of ICL Treatment
  • Unlike excimer laser treatments, it does not cause eye dryness.
  • Contains UV protection.
  • Patient satisfaction is 99%.
  • Does not cause night vision complaints.
  • Can be applied on thin corneas.
  • It allows us to correct all kinds of visual defects in keratoconus patients.
  • Since a new element has been added to the optical system of the eye (addition is made), the quality of vision is very high. In many of our patients, the level of vision and contrast sensitivity exceeds the level with glasses or contact lenses.
The most important advantage of ICL treatment is that it is reversible. In case of any problem, the placed lens can be removed.
On Which Eyes Can ICL Be Applied?
ICL treatment successfully corrects -3.00 to -18.00 diopters of myopia, 6 diopters of astigmatism, and 10 diopters of hyperopia between the ages of 21-45.
The anterior chamber size of the eye must be at least 2.8 mm.
It is necessary not to have glaucoma, uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy.
