Implantable contact lenses can address high myopia

Implantable contact lenses can address high myopia

 

For patients with high myopia,

 

Wearing glasses is considered a safe form of correction.

 

However, for some patients with high myopia, sometimes wearing glasses does not give them clear vision.

 

Some people have problems such as deformation of things, eye interference, and fatigue

 

In severe cases, dizziness and nausea may occur.

 

What to do? Recently, the Eye Center of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University admitted a patient with myopia of more than 1500 degrees in both eyes.

 

Finally, through a procedure called ICL (intraocular lens) implantation, also known as implantable contact lenses,

 

Let her regain a clear line of sight.

 

According to ophthalmology experts from the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, the patient was 26 years old.

 

Myopia in both eyes reaches 1500 degrees, and there is also astigmatism.

 

Because the prescription is too high, it is not good to correct vision with glasses, and because the cornea is too thin to do excimer laser surgery,

 

Over time, the blurred vision of both eyes became more and more serious.

 

After a systematic examination, the doctor chose ICL implantation surgery for her.

 

The surgery only took about 20 minutes, and it was checked the next day after the surgery.

 

Her vision has returned to 1.0 and there are no discomfort symptoms such as eye pain and eye swelling.

 

ICL implantation is a new way to treat myopia with better results.

 

Implantation of the intraocular lens into the iris site while retaining the patient's "original" lens,

 

To achieve the purpose of correcting high myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism without removing or destroying corneal tissue,

 

There is no need for sutures after surgery, and there are no adverse complications such as dry eye and keratoconus.

 

In addition, the technology is reversible, ideal for refractive correction,

 

Patients with high myopia who are 21~45 years old, have stable refractive refraction, and have no other eye diseases or serious underlying diseases may wish to consider ICL implantation.
