(Adnkronos) - Le lenti intraoculari ICL rappresentano una soluzione avanzata ed efficace per correggere difetti visivi come la miopia, in particolare nei casi da moderata a grave. Con un intervento rapido e sicuro, le ICL offrono una correzione permanente e una visione naturale, restituendo ai pazienti la possibilità di vivere senza la necessità di occhiali o lenti a contatto. Ciò che rende veramente distintiva questa tecnologia è la sua capacità di garantire una qualità visiva eccellente anche in condizioni di scarsa luminosità, come la visione notturna. Inoltre, la reversibilità dell'intervento e la rapidità del recupero lo rendono una scelta molto apprezzata dai pazienti, con un tasso di soddisfazione che raggiunge il 99,4%. Il Dott. Angelo Appiotti, chirurgo oculista Milano - Verona, ha spiegato come le lenti ICL possono migliorare significativamente la qualità della vita di chi soffre di miopia e altri difetti visivi, restituendo una libertà visiva senza limiti.

00:00An advanced and effective solution to correct visual defects such as myopia, in particular in cases from moderate to severe, is what ICL intraocular lenses represent.
00:22Thanks to a quick and safe intervention, in fact, this innovative technology is able to offer permanent correction and a natural vision, giving patients the opportunity to live without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
00:37Contrary to what one might think, these lenses were perfect only for high levels of myopia or hypermetropia. The range is around 18 diopters for myopias and 8 diopters for hypermetropia, also associated with astigmatic components.
00:52In fact, for many years I have adopted the implantation of this lens also for patients with medium myopias, patients who often have a much higher visual quality than any laser method.
01:06And above all, it allows me to embrace all those types of patients who cannot be operated with the laser, such as patients with eye dryness, general pathologies, very thin corns, or even pathologies such as keratoconus, perhaps in the first stage, which cannot be operated with the laser if not with particular techniques, while they can have a wonderful result through ICL.
01:33What makes this technology distinctive is its ability to guarantee excellent visual quality even in conditions of poor brightness, such as night vision. In addition, the reversibility of the intervention and the speed of recovery make it a highly appreciated choice by patients with a satisfaction rate that reaches 99.4% and is a relatively fast intervention.
01:57It is done in atopic anesthesia, only with a drop supply. A collaboration is needed by the patients, so this is another very important selection criterion.
02:07After that, through a 2.75 mm micro incision, a liquid is introduced to inflate the front chamber of the eye to create a space to be able to put this lens, prior to dilation of the patient, lens that will be placed behind the iris and in front of the crystalline, so that when the iris will close again, even visibly, no patient or no person will notice that the patient has something inside the eye.
02:35The intervention can take 5-10 minutes, but it is not a problem of speed, the important thing is to do each maneuver well in the right way.
02:46Thanks to the ICL lenses, the quality of life of those suffering from myopia, like Gabriele, has significantly improved.
02:53I feel really good without glasses, for me it is a dream, after spending many years without glasses, so I am very happy to have done this intervention.
03:05I didn't even realize the timing, because it was really about 5 minutes, but very fast, I didn't feel pain, nothing, perfect.
03:17It is a beautiful feeling, because once I struggled to get to certain characters, and now to get to 7, 8, 9, 10, for me it is a great achievement, really.
03:31I thank Dr. Piotti who gave me this beautiful gift, thank you.
