Refractive Surgery • PRK • ICL/IPCL • Glasses-Free Planning

Quick Overview

Refractive surgery is designed to reduce dependence on spectacles by correcting power (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) using laser surface procedures like PRK or implantable lenses like ICL/IPCL for suitable candidates. A detailed checkup is essential to choose the safest option for your eyes.

PRK ICL / IPCL Astigmatism Planning Pre-op Safety Checks

Not everyone is a candidate. Cornea thickness, power stability, dry eye, and retina health matter—so proper screening is key.

Refractive Surgery Options at SGVEH

PRK (Surface Laser)

Suitable in selected cases. Cornea surface reshaping helps reduce spectacle power when corneal parameters allow.

ICL / IPCL (Implantable Lens)

A lens is placed inside the eye to correct higher powers in suitable candidates, especially when laser options are not ideal.

Astigmatism Correction Planning

Detailed measurements guide customized correction for cylindrical power (astigmatism) when appropriate.

Custom Counselling (Lifestyle)

Night driving, screen work, sports and dryness—planning is tailored for comfort and realistic expectations.

Who Should Consider a Refractive Surgery Consultation?

Stable Glasses Power

Power should generally be stable before considering surgery. We confirm stability during evaluation.

High Spectacle Power

High myopia may be better suited for ICL/IPCL in eligible cases, after retina and eye health checks.

Contact Lens Intolerance

If lenses cause dryness, irritation, or allergies, an evaluation can help explore options.

Active Lifestyle / Sports

People who want freedom from glasses for daily activities often explore refractive surgery options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which is better: PRK or ICL/IPCL?

It depends on cornea thickness, power, eye health and lifestyle. PRK is a laser surface procedure; ICL/IPCL is an implantable lens option. The best choice is decided after a full evaluation.

Is refractive surgery safe?

With proper screening and correct case selection, outcomes are generally good. Safety depends on corneal parameters, dryness control, and overall eye health.

Will I be completely glasses-free?

Many people reduce dependence on glasses significantly, but results vary by power, healing response and future age-related changes. Counselling helps set realistic expectations.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery depends on the procedure. Many patients resume routine activities soon, but vision stabilization can take days to weeks depending on the option selected.
