Understanding   Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery

The Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery corrects your vision with the help of EVO ICL (an implantable lens), and without the need of any lens replacement or removal of your corneal tissue. In fact, this surgery includes placing the ICL permanently on the existing natural lens of your eye. Besides treating common refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, ICL is also a great option for improving your day and night vision. It also eliminates the need for wearing contact lenses or glasses.

The other name for ICL is Implantable Collamer Lens as it is made of an advanced soft material called Biocompatible Collamer Material which is suitable for your eye. It is a painless procedure and requires less than 20 to 30 minutes to complete. After getting an ICL surgery, you can immediately experience an improvement in your vision. It gives you a sharper, more acute and vivid vision which cannot be achieved even by contact lenses or glasses.

What to expect for your ICL surgery?

Preparation

Before starting with the ICL surgery, our eye surgeon will first prepare a prescription of the measurements of your vision. Our ophthalmologist will perform a detailed examination of your eyes during the initial consultation, and also conduct corneal mapping, and calculation of the lens and refraction. All these measurements are used to determine the power of your lens which is to be implanted.

Another instruction as mostly recommended by our expert ophthalmologists is that you need to stop wearing contact lenses or glasses, whatever you use, 2 weeks from before your appointment. This is to make sure that your eyes are in the best condition for diagnosis and tests.

Procedure

At first, our ICL surgeon dilates or enlarges your pupil with the help of an eye drop. Next the surgeon makes your eyes numb by applying drops. The surgeon then makes a small incision in your eye. Finally, the surgeon places the EVO ICL over the natural lens of your eye.

Aftercare

The small incision will take only 1 to 2 weeks from after your surgery to heal. In fact, most of the patients report that they can resume their regular activities just within a few days’ time from after the surgery. You might, however, experience minimal discomfort overnight, or might also face a short post-operative drop treatment period. Make sure to attend the follow-up appointments as instructed by our surgeon to evaluate the effective progression of your treatment.

Am I a good Candidate for ICL?

Our expert ophthalmologists, eye surgeons and ICL specialists check a number of criteria first to make sure if you are eligible to undertake the ICL surgery. This might include from checking your corneal thickness or tear production to examining your refractive error stability, pupil size, or curvature of your eye.

If you meet the following criteria, you are an eligible candidate to undergo ICL:

  • Aged between 21 to 45 years and have a refractive error
  • Having high prescription contact lenses or thick eyeglasses
  • Looking forward to correct myopia or astigmatism
  • Patients having eye conditions like keratoconus or dry eye, and are unfit for LASIK
  • Have a stable eye condition over a year
  • Engaged in a contact sports or similar activities which do not support corneal flap
  • Not a candidate of nursing or pregnancy
  • Having good ocular health with no medical records of iritis, diabetic eye disease or glaucoma

Patients with the following criteria must not undergo ICL as per the recommendations of our ophthalmologists:

  • Patients with cataracts affecting vision
  • An unstable refractive error
  • Having some ongoing or past record of autoimmune disorder as this can affect the healing process
  • Not having the minimum endothelial cell density

Consult your ophthalmologist to find out if ICL is the right choice for you.
