Dr. Avijit Vishnoi: Your Refractive Surgery Specialist
Dr. Avijit Vishnoi (M.S. Ophthal, F.R.F., F.N.N.) brings his meticulous surgical skills and extensive experience to refractive surgery. While primarily a Vitreo Retina Surgeon, his deep understanding of ocular anatomy and precision surgical techniques make him an ideal choice for delicate procedures like ICL/IPCL implantation. Dr. Vishnoi is committed to helping you achieve excellent visual outcomes, ensuring a thorough pre-operative assessment and personalized care.
Understanding ICL / IPCL Refractive Surgery
ICL and IPCL are advanced forms of refractive surgery that involve implanting a thin, flexible lens inside the eye, typically between the iris (colored part) and the natural lens. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL/IPCL preserves the natural corneal tissue and is reversible, offering an excellent alternative for patients who may not be suitable for LASIK due to high prescriptions, thin corneas, or dry eyes.
How ICL/IPCL Works:
These biocompatible lenses are custom-made to correct a wide range of refractive errors, including:
- High Myopia (Nearsightedness): Up to -20 diopters or even higher in some cases.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Correction for moderate to high hyperopia.
- Astigmatism: Specific toric ICL/IPCL models can correct astigmatism simultaneously.
The procedure involves a small incision through which the folded lens is inserted into the eye. Once unfolded, it precisely corrects the vision, working in harmony with your natural eye structure.
Benefits of ICL / IPCL Surgery
- Excellent Visual Quality: Often provides sharper, clearer vision than glasses or contact lenses, with excellent night vision.
- Wide Range of Correction: Can treat higher prescriptions than LASIK, including severe myopia and hyperopia.
- Suitable for “Dry Eyes”: Does not induce or worsen dry eye syndrome, making it an option for patients prone to dryness.
- Corneal Preservation: No removal of corneal tissue, maintaining the natural strength and integrity of the cornea.
- Reversible Procedure: The lens can be removed or exchanged if needed, offering peace of mind.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients experience rapid visual improvement and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- UV Protection: Some ICL models offer built-in UV protection for added eye health benefits.
