What you need to know about Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) in Guanacaste

An implantable contact lens (ICL) is a special contact lens that is implanted inside the eye and works with the eye’s natural lens. Unlike regular contact lenses, ICL does not need frequent removal. It can correct a wide range of vision errors, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. ICL is made from a material called Collamer, which is safe to stay in the eye for a long period of time.

The lens can be customized according to the patient’s eye shape and size, and it can be removed if your prescription does change over time. ICL is a possible solution for people who are not ideal to undergo LASIK or those who do not like the idea of permanently removing their corneal tissue.

What's the Recovery Time for Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Procedures in Guanacaste?

The recovery time after ICL is relatively short. While your eye will be completely healed within a month or two, you should see the result within 24 hours. It is recommended that you take at least 5 to 7 days off work and avoid any vigorous activity. Your surgeon will discuss the recovery timeline in detail with you.

Despite the surgery being fairly swift, typically lasting less than half an hour for both eyes, the post-surgery phase holds significant importance for complete healing. Routine check-ups post-procedure are essential to track the healing progression and ascertain ideal outcomes. A rigorous care routine post-surgery is crucial to expedite recuperation.

What's the Success Rate of Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Procedures in Guanacaste?

Before being placed on the market, ICL was subject to extensive research and development. Today, it is an effective, safe, and highly successful procedure, with about 99% of patients who had it claimed to be satisfied with their implants.

Multiple scientific research and testimonials shared by patients accentuate the effectiveness of the Implantable Contact Lens operation, as the majority of patients reach at least 20/40 vision, which is a common legal requirement for driving. Moreover, this operation is recognized for its high safety standards, coupled with a minuscule complication rate.

However, similar to all medical interventions, the results of the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) can fluctuate amongst different individuals. This can be due to several contributors such as the refractive error magnitude, the total eye health of the patient, and the adherence to post-operation guidelines. It is worth acknowledging that although the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) has demonstrated significant effectiveness, it doesn’t act as a deterrent against age-oriented eye disorders such as cataracts or macular degeneration.
