Colleague Xiaomei, with 800 degrees of myopia, planned to take off her glasses years ago, relax for the New Year, and quietly give everyone a surprise.
It was really a good choice for migrant workers to take off their mirrors years ago. On the one hand, it can refresh the mind and get rid of the trouble of wearing glasses; On the other hand, holidays can set aside time for preoperative examination and postoperative recovery.
So Xiaomei, who has made up her mind, has been pestering Xi Ma Xiao recently, asking questions about ICL crystal implantation.
She said that when she had an eye examination in the hospital before, the doctor casually mentioned that her cornea was too thin to do laser surgery, but after all, she was "making a fuss" about her eyes, not knowing much, and accidentally blinded her.
Haha, it's not rude. A comprehensive understanding of the medical behavior to be carried out on the body is a manifestation of being responsible for yourself.
Many of the questions she asked were of concern to surgical patients, some of which were very strange. Today, Xi Ma Xiao will share with you and popularize science, hoping to help friends who also want to do ICL crystal implantation.
Where is Q 1? ICL crystal implanted in the eye?
The ICL lens is placed behind the iris and in front of the lens.
Q2。 How do you usually feel after ICL crystal implantation? Do your eyes itch?
ICL crystal is mainly composed of collagen material, and its collagen component can adhere to fibronectin, which is one of the components contained in aqueous humor of eyes.
Forming such a layer of fibronectin around the crystal can inhibit the adhesion of white blood cells to the crystal, thus protecting the crystal from rejection, so ICL crystal has good biocompatibility.
Therefore, ICL crystals will not feel itchy eyes and foreign bodies.
Q3。 Will ICL crystal move?
Except that the eyeball is hit by a violent external force, the crystal fixed in the eye generally does not shift.
Q4。 Can I exercise normally after ICL crystal implantation?
Doing ICL operation will not affect the exercise in daily life, but the eyes need some recovery time after operation.
Generally speaking, running, mountaineering, yoga, cycling and other sports can be carried out normally within 1 week after operation, but it is not suitable for anaerobic strenuous sports such as jumping, weight bearing, push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups.
You can't swim for 3 months after operation and you can't dive for half a year. You are a group with high myopia. You should try to avoid extreme exciting sports such as bungee jumping, skydiving and roller coaster to avoid retinal detachment.
Q5。 I have high myopia and high astigmatism. Can I play ICL?
The correction range of ICL lens implantation is: myopia 1800 degrees, astigmatism 600 degrees. After preoperative examination, the operation can be performed according to the doctor's advice.
Q6。 Preoperative examination meets the requirements. Can I have an operation right away?
No, ICL crystals are all custom-made, which requires a certain production time. Interested friends can reserve more time.
Does Q7 have it? Does ICL crystal have a shelf life? How long will it last?
If it is not necessary to take out the crystal in the future, ICL crystal can be used for life.
