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.
