About ICL Surgery

Also referred to as Phakic IOLs, ICL is a micro-thin lens implant placed over the eye's natural lens to correct refractive power. The function of ICL is very similar to normal contact lenses. The difference between them is that a normal contact lens is worn over the eye, and an ICL is placed inside the eye over the natural eye lens.

The ICL is placed inside the eye surgically and can be used to correct cylindrical and spherical power in a better way. It provides high-definition vision correction without any side effects that are generally seen in other refractive surgeries.

Treatment

Before recommending ICL surgery to a patient, the doctor performs a thorough eye exam. The exam includes evaluating the anterior chamber depth, keratometric measurements, and other metrics essential for ICL. The doctor proceeds with the treatment only after ensuring that the procedure is safe for the patient.

The surgery is carried out in the following steps-

The patient is given a sedative to help him/her relax and anesthesia to numb the eyes.
The eye is cleaned, and a lid speculum is placed in the eye to keep it open.
A small incision is made in the eye, and lubricant is applied to protect the cornea.
The ICL is inserted into the eye through the incision. As the lens is foldable, it is easier to insert it without expanding the incision.
The lubricant is removed and depending on the size of the incision, stitches might be placed.
Eye drops or ointment are placed in the eye and are covered with a patch or eye shield.
The same steps are repeated on the other eye.

The entire procedure takes around 30 minutes for both eyes, and the patient can go home on the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions about ICL Surgery

How much does ICL surgery cost in Kochi?

The cost of ICL surgery in Kochi ranges from Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 2,30,000. It is an estimated cost range that varies for each patient depending on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, diagnostic tests, type of lens, hospital/clinic-related expenses, etc.

Can I pay for ICL surgery with insurance?

Generally, refractive surgeries and vision correction surgeries, like ICL and LASIK, are not covered by health insurance. However, if the patient’s refractive power is equal to or higher than 7.5 D, the insurance may cover the cost of treatment. It is advised to talk to the health insurance provider.

What are the risks and complications of ICL?

Similar to other surgical procedures, there are several risks and complications associated with ICL surgery. These are-

Vision loss
Glaucoma
Blurry vision
Eye infection
Cloudy cornea
Retinal detachment

Is ICL surgery safe?

Yes, ICL surgery is a safe procedure. Surgeons usually consider all the risks and complications that can arise during or after the procedure. Thus, necessary steps are taken to mitigate most of the risks and to make the surgery safe for the patient.

Is ICL and IOL surgery the same?

Technically, yes, IOL and ICL are the same. Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are commonly known as implantable contact/collamer lenses (ICLs). There are different types of IOLs, and people often mistake the term IOL to be only used for cataract treatment. However, the lens used in cataract surgery is pseudophakic IOLs, whereas, for myopia treatment, phakic IOLs are used.

Safe & Effective ICL Surgery in Kochi for Vision Correction

If you wear corrective lenses or glasses and wish to get rid of them, there are several options you can choose from. Normally, LASIK is the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind for specs removal. However, there are people who are not suitable candidates for LASIK. If so, ICL or Implantable Collamer Lens is the best choice.

ICL surgery can give you the freedom to live a life that is not restricted by spectacles or contact lenses. Get in touch with Pristyn Care and undergo ICL surgery in Kochi at a reasonable price.
