Frequently Asked Questions
Refractive surgery is a way to fix your eyesight so you might not need glasses or contacts anymore. It changes the shape of your cornea to clear up your vision.
No, the surgery isn’t painful. We use numbing drops in your eyes, so you won’t feel much during the procedure.
The actual surgery usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes. The whole visit might last a couple of hours.
LASIK involves creating a small flap on the eye’s surface, then reshaping the cornea. PRK removes the top layer of the cornea without making a flap. Both aim to improve your vision, but the recovery for PRK is a bit longer.
Most people start to see better within 24 hours after LASIK. For PRK, it might take a few days before your vision starts to improve because the outer layer of the cornea needs time to heal.
Not everyone is a good candidate for refractive surgery. It depends on your eye health, how thick your cornea is, and your vision needs. We’ll need to check your eyes first to make sure it’s safe and suitable for you.
What Is an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)?
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is an advanced, thin, clear lens that functions similarly to a contact lens, however it is surgically implanted into the eye. The ICL cannot be felt while in the eye, requires no maintenance and can be removed if needed. The ICL does not replace your natural lens, but is implanted in front of your natural lens and behind your iris (the coloured part of the eye).
The ICL procedure is a low risk, long-term solution and, as such, is a good option for many patients, especially those under the age of 40. The procedure is often recommended for patients with high prescriptions for either short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hyperopia), because often the cornea is not thick enough to be treated safely with laser eye surgery procedures such as LASIK or ASLA.
The procedure is a permanent one – or until you decide that you may want to remove it. The ICL has the advantage of being reversible.
Frequently Asked Questions
ICL surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis. A small incision is made in your cornea, and the ICL lens is folded and inserted into your eye. Once positioned, the lens unfolds and sits behind your iris, correcting your vision.
- Permanent vision correction: Unlike LASIK, ICL offers a long-term solution for nearsightedness and farsightedness.
- Unobtrusive: Once implanted, the ICL lens is designed to be comfortable and not felt in the eye.
- Reversible: If necessary, the ICL lens can be removed by your ophthalmologist.
ICL is typically recommended for individuals with:
- High prescriptions for nearsightedness or farsightedness.
- The corneal thickness makes them unsuitable for LASIK surgery.
- People with certain eye diseases like cataracts or glaucoma.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes.
During your consultation, a Delhi Eye Centre ophthalmologist will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for ICL surgery. Our team will discuss your vision concerns, review your medical history, and explain the procedure in detail. The procedure to calculate the perfect ICL power for your eyes and also to measure the size of the cornea with different machines, usually requires two visits.
Dry eyes can be a concern for contact lens wearers. We offer consultations to discuss solutions like specific lens materials or lubricating eye drops to manage dryness and ensure comfortable lens wear.
