EVO Visian ICL - Side Effects or Complications

Side Effects and Complications

The purpose of refractive surgery is to reduce the dependence on corrective lenses. Alternatives to surgery are wearing glasses or contact lenses. However, the result or success of an operation can never be guaranteed.

This list of possible risks and complications of surgical procedures is intended to make you aware that all medical procedures involve principle and special dangers. These can leave behind temporary or permanent damage and can never be excluded with absolute certainty, even if extreme care is taken. Only unforeseeable and particularly atypical risks are not mentioned.

Risks and possible side effects during the healing process:

- Infections of the eye with the possibility of severe impairment up to loss of vision of the eye.

- Increased sensitivity to light and glare, possibly in the long term.

- Decreased night vision, possibly permanent.

- Overcorrection or undercorrection with the need for further surgery or corrective glasses.

- Change in spatial vision, which can lead to a disturbance in orientation, e.g. when driving a car.

- If you are over 40 years old, you may need reading glasses after the surgery.

For our female patients: Please note that the administration of antibiotics on the day of surgery can influence the effect of contraceptives for about 1 week.

These risks can be extremely rare, isolated or regular. This frequency information does not correspond to the information given in the package leaflets for medicines. They are only a general assessment and are only intended to serve as a weighting. The risk assessment for each patient is carried out individually in the consultation itself.
