What is about ICL surgery,my son aged 22 years have 7-8 numbers in both eyes
Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya
- ICL stands for implantable collamer lens (ICL), this artificial lens is permanently fitted inside the eye, and can work effectively for people with: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism.
- Somethings to know about this implant surgery:
- It can correct nearsightedness.
- It can be reversed (in other words these lens can be removed if your son doesn't gets used to them).
- Be aware of risks associated with this surgery, if these implants are not fixed properly then the surgery can lead up to:
- Eye disease (glaucoma, cataracts)
- Vision loss or blurred vision
- Detachment of retina
- While the common side effects are: pain & discomfort
- Your son may be prone to risks if he's:
- on a course of medicines related to vision problems
- affected by some condition that inhibits healing of wounds
- fails to meet minimum requirements of endothelial cell count (doctor will inform)
- Note: 7 and 8 is too far from zero and may mean that an individual is already at risk of retinal issues, so please put this across to the surgeon and know how prepared they are to handle any resulting consequences.
Also discuss in advance, regarding what kind of risks will they compensate and in what manner.

Discuss with doctor at length, your son's health conditions & family history, pre-operative measures, post-operation care, his own experience and success rate with past patients.
Also consult other specialists if you need more guidance and/or options - Ophthalmologists in India.
