How Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation (ICL) is performed
This procedure involves implanting a custom-made artificial lens in the posterior chamber while preserving the natural lens. Typically, the lens is folded and inserted through a micro-incision in the cornea and positioned in a suitable area, assisted by viscoelastic agents and microscopic instruments. Postoperative monitoring focuses on intraocular pressure, anterior segment inflammation, and lens position. The goal is to improve vision and maintain the stability of the eye structure. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
