Zhangzhou Eye Hospital myopia surgery - ICL lens implantation
In Zhangzhou Eye Hospital, laser myopia surgery, the principle is to change the corneal curvature by cutting the cornea, so as to correct refractive error, so the thickness of the cornea are required, the scope of correction is up to 1200 degrees of myopia/600 degrees of astigmatism/600 degrees of hyperopia. The range of correction is up to 1200 degrees of myopia / 600 degrees of astigmatism / 600 degrees of hyperopia.
ICL implantation is different, the principle is to implant a special IOL in the eye to directly correct the refractive error, so the requirements on the cornea are lower, and the range of correction is also larger, up to 1800 degrees of myopia / 600 degrees of astigmatism.
Is ICL implantation available to everyone?
Not really! Zhangzhou Eye Hospital reminds that relatively speaking, ICL lens implantation is just less demanding on the cornea, but if you want to do this kind of surgery, you still need to fulfill 3 conditions!
Condition 1: anterior chamber depth >2.8mm
Generally speaking, the normal anterior chamber depth is 2.5mm-3mm. we need to put ICL crystals into the eye, the approximate position is between the iris and lens, if the anterior chamber depth is not enough, the crystals will be too crowded when they are put into the eye, which may lead to cataracts or glaucoma, and affect the quality of post-surgery vision.
Condition 2: Corneal endothelial cell count
The reason why the corneal endothelial cell count is important is that it is non-renewable, and when it decreases to a certain level, it can cause corneal edema, which affects the quality of vision after surgery.
When doing ICL lens implantation, more or less there will be some loss of corneal endothelial cells, so preoperative in the examination, to make sure that the number of corneal endothelial cells in the 2000/mm? or more, less than 2,500 is a critical value, so there are some hospitals require more than 2,500.
Condition 3: Normal and intact retina
The role of the retina should not be ignored when it comes to how we see, whether we can see or not, as most of the ICL implantations are highly myopic (more than 600 degrees), the probability of retinopathy is relatively high. To ensure the normal integrity of the retina is an important condition for ICL implantation.
