Before ICL surgery, how to choose the power of lenses is one of the most questions that patients concern.

During the eye examinations before the surgery, patients will determine the power of lenses to confirm the postoperative vision.
While the consultation, the power of soft contact lenses and hard contact lenses, the power of glasses, the result of the eye examinations are used to do the vision simulations.

As for the power of astigmatism, according to the eye examination results, they doctor will suggest if it is necessary to use lenses with astigmatism.

Patients include people who have difficulty seeing far, people who have difficulty seeing near, people who have eye strain, people whose vision is hard to be corrected, and so on.

When implanting ICL lenses, some patients want to perfectly correct myopia to see far, while since some patients wear low-power contact lenses, they want to have the same vision as contact lenses.
Some patients wear weak glasses, so they may not realize that they cannot see clearly. In this case, if they can see clearly after surgery, until their brain gets used to the new vision, they may feel eye strain, or they may find it is hard to see nearly. Therefore, during the eye examinations before the surgery, it is very important to do simulations and choose the most suitable vision.

However, because the simulation is with glasses, it is difficult to look exactly the same as the postoperative vision. Please be aware that we are just aiming for that vision.

Our clinic examines the power of ICL lenses for each patient by orthoptists who are qualified by Japanese government, and the ophthalmologist certified by the Japanese Ophthalmology Society will consult with patients to determine the power of ICL lenses.
