Does Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL Operation Need Anesthesia?

Zhongshan Ophthalmology is a hospital specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases, with advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors. ICL (Intraocular Laser Lens) surgery is a treatment method that uses intraocular lens to correct myopia, which is different from traditional corneal laser surgery. So, does Zhongshan Ophthalmology ICL surgery need anesthesia? This article will elaborate on the operation process, postoperative pain, anesthesia risk and patient needs.

Operation process

ICL surgery is to implant intraocular lens into the eyeball through a surgical incision to correct myopia. During the operation, it is generally necessary to drop anesthetic eyedrops on the surface of the eyes to numb the eyes of patients. This kind of local anesthesia, which does not require injection of anesthetic, is relatively safer than general anesthesia.

First, the doctor will apply eyedrops to the patient's eyes for anesthesia. Then, the surgical incision was made under the microscope and ICL was implanted into the eye. The whole operation process generally only takes 15-20 minutes, and the patient will not feel pain. Therefore, the use of anesthesia is very important for the smooth completion of the surgical process.

Postoperative pain

After ICL surgery, patients may have some pain and discomfort. The use of anesthetics during surgery can effectively reduce the feeling of postoperative pain and improve the postoperative experience of patients. If anesthesia is not used, the patient may need additional analgesics to relieve pain.

Anesthesia risk

Compared with general anesthesia, the risk of local anesthesia used in ICL surgery is lower. Local anesthesia does not need to further adjust the patient's physiological status, and will not have a significant impact on the heart, lung, liver and kidney functions. At the same time, the anesthetic effect of local anesthesia will weaken with the passage of time, and will not have a long-term impact on patients.

Patient needs

Before ICL surgery, doctors will make detailed inquiries and examinations to patients to understand their physical conditions and needs. For those patients who have concerns about anesthesia or disable anesthesia, doctors can choose other suitable surgical methods according to the actual situation. However, according to practical experience, most patients prefer to use local anesthesia, because it is not only safer, but also can effectively reduce the discomfort during the operation.

summary

To sum up, anesthesia is usually required for ICL surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department. Anesthesia can ensure the smooth operation process and reduce postoperative pain. At the same time, because of the use of local anesthesia, the anesthesia risk is relatively low. However, for individual patients with special needs, doctors can make adjustments according to the actual situation. Zhongshan Ophthalmology will always take the safety and needs of patients as the primary consideration to provide high-quality ophthalmic surgery services for patients.
