The ICL
(implanted contact lens) is a synthetic lens to be implanted over the normal human lens. It is implanted into the posterior chamber, between the iris and the eye's own natural lens
. The implanted contact lens (ICL) is capable of correcting a wide range of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism without the removal or destruction of corneal tissue. The ICL is a small, foldable, injectable lens that is inserted through a tiny, 3 mm incision that does not require sutures. The ICL provides predictable refractive outcomes and excellent quality of vision due to its placement inside the eye, as well as its optical performance. The lens is made of a superior lens material called Collamer® which provides unparalleled biocompatibility. This lens has been used since 1993

The ICL is very useful in cases of high myopia (short sightedness) or when there is no enough thickness in the cornea to perform a safe successful lasik eye surgery. The ICL surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that the patient has surgery and leaves the same day. Please note that someone will have to drive the patient to and from surgery. A light, topical or local anesthetic is administered and there is very little discomfort and normally no pain associated with the procedure. Some drops or perhaps oral medication may be prescribed and a visit is usually scheduled the day after surgery

 

 

   

a LASIK story in the Eye of Cairo

(an international center for lasik and laser corrective surgery)

The procedure took about 15 minutes. There was no pain whatsoever.  In fact the process was quite psychedelic and a bit like going into space and back again.  For a few hours after the treatment, vision is blurred as the eyes readjust.  But the benefits are soon realised with more improvements the following day.
