They represent a turning point in the treatment of visual defects, with more than three million implants performed and a patient satisfaction rate of over 99%. They are phakic lenses or Icl (Implanted Collamer lenses) which, inserted between the crystalline lens and the pupil, allow you to avoid the use of contact lenses and glasses even when it is not recommended laser surgery. In cases where the eye is not suitable for laser surgery – explain a note – ICLs offer an effective alternative, allowing the correction of myopia up to 20 diopters and hyperopia up to 10 diopters, even in the presence of high astigmatism.
“The use of phakic lenses in the posterior chamber, or Icl, allows the correction of visual defects such as hyperopia and astigmatism – explains Luigi Conti, ophthalmologist at the San Paolo Medical Center in Naples – With this procedure they can correct all sizes. of myopia, from mild to moderate, especially high. Furthermore, they represent a useful alternative to the laser when this cannot guarantee the expected correction. It is important that the patient follows a diagnostic method in which the ocular biometric data is presented can increase the result”. Thanks to the quick operation, done in a few minutes, and done under local anesthesia, it is possible to implant Icl lenses and immediately get vision between 9 and 12 tenths, with immediate effect is ‘additional’, because it does not involve the removal of tissue as happens with laser surgery. , due to its material, guarantees high visual quality. The safety of this lens is very high and proven. “
After surgery, patients experience an improvement in their vision from day one. “The advantages of implanted Icl – under Conte – can basically be summed up in: high visual quality, excellent and immediate surgical results, the risk that reduces the risk of ‘dry eye’ disease because the procedure does not work on the cornea and change of ‘contributions’.
