ICL
Implantation of a lens similar to a contact lens, but implanted inside the eye, into the space between the iris and the natural lens (without removing the patient’s natural lens). It is a method of correcting a vision defect regardless of its nature (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism). The method is a solution addressed primarily to young patients with high myopia, high hyperopia or astigmatism or to patients where the corneal procedure like PRK or LASIK is not possible to be performed.
Laser vision correction is a quick, safe and practically painless method of getting rid of a vision defect. The patient can see well the day after the procedure, while slight fluctuations in vision may persist for about a month. Continuous improvement and stabilization of vision occurs up to about 6 months after the procedure.
CAUTION
In order to properly qualify for refractive surgery, it is necessary to stop wearing contact lenses for a minimum period of 2 weeks prior to the examination.
All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia. The patient cannot drive right after the procedure and it is also recommended to come accompanied.
After each type of refractive treatment, for about a month you should avoid strenuous physical activity, swimming, sunbathing, and staying in a dry and smoky environment. Side effects that are extremely rare may occur and persist for up to several months after the procedure are first of all: dry eyes, decreased vision of contrasts in dim lighting and glare during night driving.
