Understanding ICL Surgery

ICL surgery involves inserting a small, biocompatible lens into the eye to correct refractive errors, providing an alternative to LASIK and PRK for those who are not suitable candidates. The Collamer lens, placed either behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, enhances the eye's focusing abilities. The procedure is reversible and the ICL can be replaced if the patient's vision changes significantly over time.

Preparing for ICL Surgery

Prior to ICL surgery, patients will undergo a comprehensive eye exam to assess overall eye health, corneal thickness, and eye dimensions. This is necessary to choose the right size and power for the implantable lens. Patients may be advised to cease wearing contact lenses for a period before this assessment and the surgery itself, to ensure accurate measurements.

ICL Surgery Procedure

ICL surgery is a brief outpatient procedure that typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes per eye. After administering topical anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea to insert the lens, which is then positioned behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. The incision is self-sealing and usually requires no stitches.

ICL Surgery Recovery

After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light, but these symptoms should resolve within a few days. The majority of patients notice an improvement in their vision almost immediately. Regular postoperative check-ups are necessary to monitor the eye's response to the ICL.

The Costs of ICL Surgery

ICL surgery costs in Thailand can range from $2,500 to $3,500 per eye, depending on the specifics of the procedure and the surgeon's experience. Please note that these costs do not include additional expenses for travel and accommodation.

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Sex Reassignment Surgery

I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery.  I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.

Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
