This is a surgical procedure that involves inserting a vision-correcting lens into the eye while preserving the natural crystalline lens. Since it does not involve using a laser to reshape the cornea, it can be considered after an examination even in cases where laser vision correction is difficult due to corneal thickness or high myopia. Astigmatism can be corrected simultaneously if a toric lens is used. A comprehensive pre-operative examination is conducted to assess the intraocular space, corneal endothelial cell count, intraocular pressure, and retinal condition to determine the appropriate lens type, power, and size for the patient's eye condition.
Treatment information is for reference only and may vary depending on individual conditions. For accurate details, please consult with the facility.
Recommended for
- For those who want to reduce the inconvenience of wearing glasses or contact lenses
- For those who have been advised that laser vision correction is difficult due to high myopia
- For those with thin corneas who are considering vision correction methods that do not involve corneal ablation.
- For those considering an implantable contact lens (ICL) procedure to correct both myopia and astigmatism
Procedure Benefits
- Corneal tissue preservation: Vision is corrected by inserting a lens into the eye without using a laser to reshape the cornea.
- Preservation of the natural crystalline lens: A method that preserves the natural focusing ability by not removing the crystalline lens.
- Alternatives for high myopia correction: If laser vision correction is difficult due to corneal thickness or the degree of myopia, these can be considered after an examination.
- Individualized lens selection: The type, prescription, and size of the lens are determined by checking the space inside the eye and the degree of myopia and astigmatism.
Risks and Notes
- Postoperative pain, glare, halos, and fluctuations in vision may occur, and complications such as increased intraocular pressure, cataracts, corneal endothelial cell loss, infection/inflammation, retinal detachment, and lens malposition may arise. Additional surgery may be required, and recovery time varies by individual. - Use eye drops as prescribed and be careful not to rub your eyes or allow water or foreign substances to enter them. - Resume face washing, applying makeup, exercising, and driving according to the guidance of the medical staff. - Contact the hospital immediately if you experience sudden vision loss, severe pain, headache, nausea, or worsening redness. - Regular check-ups for intraocular pressure, lens position, and corneal endothelial cells are required after surgery.
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery tailored to individual eye conditions Our clinic performs implantable lens surgery by selecting vision correction lenses tailored to the individual's eye condition based on precise examinations. This method involves inserting a lens into the eye while preserving the natural crystalline lens, without using a laser to reshape the cornea. Before surgery, we determine eligibility by checking the intraocular space, corneal endothelial cell count, intraocular pressure, and retinal condition, and then decide the lens type, power, and size based on the degree of myopia and astigmatism.
