Myopia/ near-sightedness
Hyperopia/ far-sightedness
Astigmatism

Pre-Surgery Preparation

Take a proper bath and trim your nails
Stop wearing lenses, a week prior to surgery
Refrain from wearing makeup, fragrances or any accessories
Discuss your previous medications with the doctor
Have a family member or friend accompany you to give a ride back home

In case of any complication before surgery, inform the doctor immediately.

During the Surgery

First, the patient is made to lie down on their back, and anesthesia is given. A sedative might be given to help relax. The surgeon then cleans the eye area. The eyelids will be held open with a tool called a lid speculum.

A small incision is made in the eye by the surgeon. A lubricant is put on to protect the cornea.
Then, the ICL is inserted through the incision. Since the lens is very thin, it might be folded and then unfolded in the eye.
Next, the lubricant will be removed. Now, depending on the incision size, stitches might be added.
The surgery is finished off by putting eye drops or ointment and covering the eye with a patch or eye shield.
This surgery takes hardly 30 minutes. The patient is then monitored closely.

Post-Surgery Precautions

A day after the surgery, the doctor will remove your eye patch and/or shield. The vision might seem blurry after the surgery and may continue to do so for a few weeks. It generally takes 2-4 weeks for the vision to stabilize.

Refrain from scratching or rubbing your eyes
Always wash your hands before applying eye drops.
Avoid use of eye makeup
Do not lift any heavy objects
Try not to bend your head below waist level, to pick any fallen object
Consult the doctor, in case of any severe pain

Long-Term

It is very important to have regular check-ups scheduled after the surgery. Maintain a record of all your observations and complications faced. Annual eye-checkups are highly advised.
