Implantable contact lens (ICL) corrects vision, as the name suggests it is implanted in the eye. ICL is similar to intraocular lenses that are used in cataract surgery. A cataract surgeon takes out the clouded natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. The primary difference between ICL and intraocular lens is that in the case of ICL the natural lens is not removed, it simply enhances the vision of the natural lens.

How lengthy is the ICL surgery?

ICL is a completely pain free surgery. The lens is implanted through a small incision in the cornea and placed behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. They are a good alternative for lasik surgeries and can also be used as a remedy for extreme myopia. Track record says that ICL have a 95% success rate. The ICL surgery is a 30 minute surgery and from the very first day the patient starts enjoying a clear vision. The right age for undergoing the ICL surgery is between 21 and 45 and it is only applicable on patients who are suffering from myopia.

Are there any divisions in ICL?

There are two types of ICL lenses. The main difference lies in the material that is sued for making the lens.

Verisyse: Verisyse is a good option to treat myopia. Verisyse is made of a type of acrylic called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

Visian: Visian is a foldable lens that can be inserted through a very small incision. Collamer is used for manufacturing Visian ICL it is a collagen co-polymer, specially designed for biocompatibility by STAAR Surgical.

Sharp Sight brings to India World’s most advanced cataract surgery

Crystalens is the buzzword in the field of cataract surgery and Sharp Sight is the first eye hospital that has brought this technology to the Indian shore. If Crystalens is a new word in your dictionary then it is completely understandable, after all it is exclusive and Sharp Sight is now taking it to every corner in India.

Crystalens as the name suggest is a lens that serves two purposes. It treats cataract as well as presbyopia. Crystalens is not a mulitifocal lens it’s an intraocular lens, but it is important that it is not even your regular intraocular lens because it is modeled after the human eye. It works exactly like the natural lens; it flexes and accommodates itself with the eye, therefore allowing to focus on objects in the environment at all distances.

Though the word surgery is used to define its functions, but it is hardly a surgery. Beneficiaries of Sharp Sight’s Crystalens have always immediately got back to their regular activities with minutes of the surgery. Most of us are familiar with cataract; it is clouding of the eye lens, but presbyopia must be a new term. Prebyopia refers to short sightedness that occurs with gradual progression in age especially after the age of 40.

Crystalens is a once and for all solution it also decreases dependence on glasses for activities like reading a book, working on the computers and driving a car.

There are lots of ‘Firsts’ associated with Crystalens, here’s a lowdown on them

· The first and only accommodating intraocular lens approved by FDA

· The only accommodating intraocular lens that uses the natural focusing ability of the eye

· It provides a single focal point throughout a continuous range of vision
Crystalens has the rare distinction of being the first presbyopia correcting IOL that was introduced in United States of America and is currently the only FDA-approved accommodating IOL.
