For patients with high myopia with myopia of more than 600 degrees, no one can understand the inconvenience of wearing glasses for myopia better than them. They are eager to get rid of glasses through surgery, but not all surgical methods are suitable. Huang Xu, a myopia surgery expert in Ningbo and director of Ningbo Yinzhou Eye Hospital, said: For patients with high myopia with insufficient corneal thickness, laser surgery is more risky. At this time, ICL implantation, as an "additional" surgery without cutting the cornea, has become the preferred choice for patients with high myopia, helping them realize their dream of removing glasses.

What is an ICL lens implant?

ICL lens implantation surgery, the full name of which is Implantable Collamer Lens, can correct common vision problems such as myopia and astigmatism.

Huang Xu, a myopia surgery expert in Ningbo and director of Ningbo Yinzhou Eye Hospital, answered: ICL is made of soft and elastic polymer material Collamer, which has extremely high biocompatibility in the eye. Generally, it can be placed stably in the eye for a long time, allowing you to enjoy high-definition vision, and can be removed or replaced at any time when needed. ICL surgery is an "additive" surgery. Unlike corneal laser surgery, it does not cut any corneal tissue, but preserves the complete structure of the eyeball and coexists harmoniously with your eyes to provide an excellent visual experience.
