Implantation of ICL lenses (Your optimal choice for clearer vision)
ICL lens implantation offers a cutting-edge solution for individuals with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism, providing them with clearer vision.
This technique is the optimal choice for many patients who are not suitable candidates for traditional laser vision correction surgeries, as it is an effective method to eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.
Types of ICL Lens Implants:
1- EVO VISIAN ICL Lenses:
• The most recent type of ICL lens, EVO VISIAN ICL features an advanced design that provides superior vision.
It is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. One of its key advantages is the rapid recovery time, allowing patients to resume their normal daily activities within a few days.
2- EVO VISIAN TORIC ICL Lenses:
• These lenses offer clear vision, specifically designed for individuals with high astigmatism. Similar to the EVO VISIAN ICL, they also provide a quick recovery period, enabling patients to return to their usual routines in just a few days.
Your doctor will carefully evaluate your eye health to determine the most suitable type of ICL lens for your specific needs.
Benefits of ICL Lens Implantation:
• Correction of vision problems: ICLs effectively treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
• Freedom from glasses and contacts: These implants eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
• Improved quality of life: Return to your daily activities without the hassle of glasses or contacts, whether you're reading, driving, or working on a computer.
How ICL Lens Implantation is performed:
• Your eye doctor will conduct a thorough eye examination to assess your vision and determine if you are a suitable candidate for ICL lens implantation.
• ICL lens implantation typically performed under local anesthesia, a small incision is made in the cornea. The ICL lens is then carefully inserted through this incision and positioned in front of your natural lens. The entire procedure usually takes less than 10 minutes.
• You will be able to go home on the same day as the procedure.
Post-ICL Surgery Instructions:
• Avoid rubbing or touching your eye to prevent any accidental damage to the eye and promotes healing.
• Wear protective eyewear (eye shield) as directed by your doctor to protect your eye from potential injuries.
• Follow your doctor's instructions for using eye drops to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
• Avoid lifting heavy objects in the initial days after surgery to allow the eye to heal properly.
• Get plenty of rest.
• Attend regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to ensure that your eyes are healing as expected and that there are no complications.
