Can high myopia patients get rid of their glasses? ICL crystal implantation brings good news
2024-02-23
High myopia refers to a refractive error with a degree of myopia ≥ 600 degrees. At present, the incidence of high myopia is not low in the population, and many serious complications can occur, which may lead to permanent visual impairment and even blindness. With the improvement of living standards, people's demands for quality of life continue to rise, and getting rid of framed glasses has become the voice of highly myopic people. On the 22nd, it was learned that ICL intraocular lens implantation brings good news to the above-mentioned population. Ms. Ji (pseudonym), a highly myopic patient, successfully underwent ICL lens implantation surgery in the ophthalmology operating room of Shanghai Renai Hospital. After 10 minutes of surgery, the patient's naked eye vision increased from 0.1 degrees before surgery and 1000 degrees of myopia in both eyes, to 1.5 degrees after surgery, regaining visual freedom. Ms. Ji told reporters on the same day that frame glasses not only constrain the eyes, but also provide a free life experience. Not wearing glasses, looking at flowers in the fog every day, often recognizing the wrong person while walking on the road. "From a girl's perspective, it's very inconvenient to clean up in the morning, as you need to be very close to the mirror to see yourself clearly. When applying makeup, skincare, especially eye makeup, it's even more inconvenient." Ms. Ji, who has been troubled by high myopia for many years, admitted, "When going out for a walk, on rainy days, the mirror will fog up when your glasses encounter rain, affecting the range of vision.". In addition, as the degree increases, the lenses also become thicker, and the thick lenses can be quite tiring when pressed against the bridge of the nose, and will continue to slide downwards; In summer, combined with facial sweating, the skin can also break It was precisely because she was tired of being bound by frame glasses that Ms. Ji decided to enjoy the beauty of high-definition vision through ICL crystal implantation surgery. It is reported that ICL lens implantation, also known as posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation with lenses, is considered the latest technology for refractive correction that can replace LASIK (Excimer Laser in situ Keratoplasty), PRK (Excimer Laser Keratoplasty), and other cutting surgeries. It is one of the latest and safest products for correcting myopia. The advantages of receiving ICL lens implantation surgery include reversibility, long-term stability, and no need to remove corneal tissue. It is reported that ICL crystals can be removed or replaced when necessary and have reversibility; ICL crystals are made of high-tech materials and have good biocompatibility, maintaining long-term stability in the eyes. ICL crystals can correct higher myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, providing better nighttime vision compared to laser surgery. What kind of patients can undergo ICL crystal implantation surgery? Zhang Jun, an ophthalmologist at Shanghai Renai Hospital, told reporters that patients aged between 20 and 45 who have refractive errors such as myopia (low, moderate, or high), hyperopia, or astigmatism; Insufficient corneal thickness, unsuitable for laser surgery; Patients with dry eye syndrome, thin corneal thickness, and abnormal corneal morphology can all undergo ICL lens implantation surgery. It is reported that patients should undergo a comprehensive ophthalmic examination before surgery, including vision, refractive index, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, etc., to determine whether ICL lens implantation surgery is suitable. After surgery, it is necessary to use eye drops according to the doctor's advice and undergo regular follow-up to ensure good eye recovery. Zhang Jun told reporters, "Generally speaking,
