Wuhan Tongji Hospital: Does myopic ICL surgery hurt? Is there any postoperative pain?

Myopia is a common vision problem in modern society, which affects the quality of life of many people. For myopic patients, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides an effective treatment - ICL surgery. However, many patients have doubts about the surgical process and postoperative pain. In this paper, we will elaborate on these issues from four aspects.

Operation process

First, let's understand the specific process of ICL surgery. ICL (Implantable Collimer Lens) surgery is a method of correcting myopia by implanting foldable transparent intraocular lens. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the patient will not feel obvious pain. The doctor will implant a transparent lens into the inner side of the cornea under the cornea, and suture a tiny incision on the cornea after the operation. The incision is only about 3mm. The whole operation process usually only takes about 15 minutes. The operation technique is precise, safe and reliable.

Postoperative physical reaction

After surgery, some patients may have uncomfortable symptoms such as dry eyes and foreign body sensation. These symptoms may gradually alleviate within a few days after surgery. Doctors will use eye drops to prevent dryness for patients during the operation to slow down the occurrence of these symptoms. Generally speaking, these uncomfortable symptoms will gradually disappear soon and the patient will return to normal life.

Avoid strenuous exercise and friction

After surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and friction. The eye incision needs a period of time to heal, and excessive movement and friction may lead to infection, incision dehiscence and other complications. Therefore, within a few weeks after the operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's advice to avoid overexertion and eye friction.

Regular follow-up

Although ICL surgery will bring patients less discomfort, the pain of the surgery itself is mild. The pain after surgery may gradually reduce within a few days after surgery, but if there is obvious pain, vision changes or other abnormalities, the patient should return to the clinic for reexamination in time. Regular follow-up is an important link to ensure the effect of surgery and the rehabilitation of patients.

summary

In conclusion, ICL surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is an effective method to correct myopia. During the operation, patients generally do not feel obvious pain. After the operation, they may only have uncomfortable symptoms such as dry eyes and foreign body sensation, which will gradually alleviate and disappear. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, avoid strenuous exercise and friction, and return regularly to ensure recovery and surgical results. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the obvious pain and postoperative pain of ICL surgery, and patients can safely choose this surgery to improve their vision problems.
