At Mechi Netralaya & Ophthalmic Research Center (P) Ltd., we have always believed in pushing the boundaries of eye care to provide our patients with the best vision possible. Today, we are proud to announce a historic milestone: the successful introduction of Introcular Phakic Contact-lens (IPCL) surgery for the first time in Mechinagar.
This advanced procedure marks a new era for vision correction in our region, offering a life-changing solution for young individuals struggling with high myopia (nearsightedness).
What is Introcular Phakic Contact-lens (IPCL) Surgery?
IPCL is a revolutionary intraocular procedure designed to correct refractive errors without removing the eye’s natural lens. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the surface of the cornea, the Introcular Phakic Contact-lens is a tiny, soft, and flexible lens that is surgically placed inside the eye.
The lens sits comfortably behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of your natural lens. It acts like a “permanent contact lens,” providing crisp, high-definition vision without the daily hassle of traditional contacts or thick glasses.
Why IPCL is the Ultimate Solution for High Myopia
For many young adults with extremely high power (High Myopia), traditional laser surgeries like LASIK are often not an option due to thin corneas or high refractive errors. IPCL surgery changes that:
-
Corrects Extreme Power: IPCL can correct a wide range of myopia (up to -30D), far exceeding the limits of traditional laser surgery.
-
Reversible and Safe: One of the greatest advantages of IPCL is that it is completely reversible. The lens can be safely removed or replaced if your vision changes in the future.
-
No Dry Eye Issues: Since the procedure does not involve cutting corneal nerves, it does not cause or worsen dry eye symptoms.
-
Preserves Natural Anatomy: The surgery is “phakic,” meaning your natural lens remains untouched, maintaining your eye’s natural focusing ability.
-
Quick Recovery: The procedure typically takes only 10–15 minutes per eye, and most patients return to their routine activities within a day or two.
