A Novel Approach For Patient In A Single Incision Non-Ovd Icl Implantation

In the realm of ophthalmic surgery, the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) procedure stands as a beacon for correcting myopia, yet it confronts challenges such as prolonged operation times and potential patient discomfort. To counter these obstacles, this study presents a groundbreaking modification to the traditional ICL technique. Our innovation incorporates a disposable sterile irrigator, elevating the intraoperative experience and refining the surgical process.

This study encompasses meticulous prospective randomized controlled trials to compare the novel non-ophthalmic viscosurgical device (non-OVD) ICL technique with the conventional OVD ICL approach.

Our findings unveil a significant reduction in surgical time with the implementation of the non-OVD ICL technique (112.93 ± 103.37 seconds) compared to the OVD approach (436.47 ± 118.05 seconds) (P < 0.001). Remarkably, this enhancement is achieved without compromising endothelial cell density or intraocular pressure stability.

Noteworthy is the positive self-perception and comfort reported by patients undergoing the non-OVD ICL procedure, a sentiment akin to those undergoing SMILE.

This study heralds the transformative potential of the modified ICL technique in reshaping contemporary practices in ophthalmic surgery. It presents an avenue towards heightened efficiency, enhanced patient comfort, and bolstered safety standards, advocating ardently for its broader integration and adoption.
