In this video clip from The Arvind Arora's Podcast, Dr. Rahil Chaudhary sheds light on the procedure called ICL for individuals with a prescription strength (refractive error) above 8, Let's dive deeper into this procedure:
. Contoura Vision is a refractive surgery technique used to correct vision problems, such as myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism For the specs power below 8D.
. During Contoura surgery, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye.
. The term "ablation" refers to the process of removing a specific amount of corneal tissue to correct the refractive error.
. It's important to note that there is a limit to how much tissue can be removed safely during Contoura surgery. Beyond a certain point, excessive tissue removal can compromise the safety of the eye.
⍟ ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens):
. ICL is a different procedure used for individuals with a prescription strength above 8D.
. ICL involves implanting a thin, phakic (meaning the natural lens remains in the eye) lens with the patient's specific prescription power inside the eye's anterior chamber.
. This lens is placed permanently and can correct vision issues without removing or altering the cornea's tissue.
. One of the key advantages of ICL is that it is virtually invisible, and patients typically don't feel or notice the presence of the lens in their eyes.
. Patients who have undergone ICL surgery usually do not need to take special precautions in their daily lives, such as avoiding certain activities or being overly conscious of their eye health. It's a low-maintenance vision correction option.
In summary, Contoura is a laser-based corneal surgery suitable for individuals with a prescription strength below 8. It involves reshaping the cornea by ablating a specific amount of tissue. On the other hand, ICL is recommended for those with a prescription strength above 8, where a phakic lens is implanted inside the eye's anterior chamber, providing permanent vision correction without significant lifestyle adjustments. Both procedures aim to improve vision but are tailored to the patient's specific needs based on their prescription strength.
