Parul Vision Laser Centre, operating under Parul Sevashram Hospital, has successfully performed a Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery for a 22-year-old woman with extreme myopia of -17.5 diopters spherical power and -2.5 diopters cylindrical power in both eyes.
This development marks a new milestone in ophthalmic care, offering hope to individuals suffering from severe refractive errors.
For the young woman, life without glasses had always seemed unattainable. Severe myopia made everyday activities challenging, causing eye strain, headaches, and difficulty in seeing distant objects, especially at night. Traditional LASIK surgery was not an option due to her high refractive error, and multiple consultations had left her disheartened. Concerned for her future, her father sought a solution that could restore her vision without lifelong dependence on thick glasses.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, refractive surgeons at Parul Vision Laser Centre recommended the ICL procedure, a revolutionary treatment designed for patients with high myopia. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL surgery involves implanting a biocompatible lens inside the eye, ensuring sharp and clear vision, UV protection, and reversibility if required.
The surgery was a success, providing the patient with instant visual clarity. Within hours, she experienced remarkable improvement, seeing the world without the burden of heavy glasses for the first time.
Speaking about this achievement, Dr. Anuj Kodnani, Consultant Refractive Surgeon at Parul Sevashram Hospital, stated, “This case is a testament to how modern ophthalmic advancements can transform lives. At Parul Vision Laser Centre, we are committed to offering world-class eye care solutions, ensuring that even those with extreme refractive errors can achieve clear vision.”
The Parul Vision Laser Centre, a leading institution in advanced laser vision correction, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including the Zeiss MEL-90 laser, the first of its kind in Vadodara. With a commitment to providing accessible and affordable eye care, the centre is pioneering advancements in ophthalmic treatments through cutting-edge technology and expert surgical care.
