Dünyagöz Hospital Antalya: ICR (Intracorneal Ring) (Both Eyes)

Intracorneal Rings are the devices designed for the treatment of Keratoconus and other irregularities of the cornea; therefore, they offer a new less invasive method to patients to restore their vision. This minimally invasive treatment consists of placing small, C-shaped rings inside the cornea to reshape the curvature of the cornea and improve the quality of your vision. 

Over the years, ICR has gained popularity for use in patients who require effective solutions for vision problems caused by keratoconus and irregular corneas. Since this operation offers improvement of vision while reducing the risks resulting from surgery, this is a promising operation for the patients. since the group has complete dedication to quality, hence the hospitals remain totally up-to-date with developments in patient care.

Intracorneal Ring (ICR) -What is it?

Intracorneal Rings are small, semi-circular devices implanted in the cornea to correct irregularities in the shape. The main purpose of ICR is to flatten the cornea, thus enabling better vision in patients with eye disorders such as keratoconus. This is a progressive eye disorder whereby the cornea bulges and thins.

By inserting such rings into the cornea, this operation redistributes the pressure inside the eye and stabilizes the cornea so that it will refract light more correctly and improve vision.

Who Can Have Intracorneal Rings?

Have Irregular Corneal Shapes: Others have different corneal irregularities which impede their vision.

Want a Non-Invasive Solution: Those seeking other options apart from much invasive surgical operations such as corneal transplants.

The Intracorneal Ring Procedure

The usual first steps of the ICR procedure include thorough consultation and eye examination. The surgery, usually performed under topical anesthesia, involves small incisions to the cornea. In the course of operation, the surgeon carefully places the intracorneal rings with special instruments.

The operation is minimally invasive; therefore, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes per eye. Most patients return home after the procedure and recover relatively fast, often with improved vision within days.

Recovery Process

Recovery from the ICR can vary, but for many patients, improvements in their vision can be an immediate reality. Possible symptoms following the procedure may include mild discomfort, sensitivity to light, and fluctuations in one's vision; these should improve after a few days.

Follow-up tests are advised to check the progress in their recovery and the ring's effect. The Dün-yagöz Hospitals Group provides clear post-operative instructions to ensure the recovery remains free of problems; this includes medication instructions and limits on the amount of activity.

Benefits of Intracorneal Rings

Improved Visual Acuity: In a large number of patients, their vision considerably improves.

Minimally Invasive: The time consumed by the procedure is less, and so is the risk factor connected with invasive surgery.

My daughter had strabismus surgery performed by Op. Dr. Tülay Arıcı. The surgery went very well and we are happy with the results. Me, my husband and the baby stayed at the hospital for two days after the surgery. We had a convenient stay. My daughter was being checked regularly by the doctors who also helped with placing her eye drops. The hospital also has translators from Turkish to Bulgarian, English and other languages.Many thanks to Op. Dr. Tülay Arıcı, Susana and Ahmed!

My headline would be “DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL, Not even pass by” I went to Acıbadem branch to have a specific eye test that I had paid 460TL two years ago, this time they initially asked for 710TL which was ok given the cost of rise in Türkiye, as soon as I handed the money in. The receptionist there told me that she made a mistake, the charge for the test should have been 6700TL. It is absolutely disgrace that they charge such an astronomical price for a test that technician will spend 5 mins to press a button to print out the cornea map to give us the count of the cells, no doctors involvement whatsoever. The same test in the uk is £65.. rip off hospital…

Dr Anıl Kubaloğlu quickly and accurately diagnosed our daughter, something that doctors back home had not been able to do for years. He then stopped the progression of the disease with medication and surgery. The staff at the clinic have always been very friendly and helpful, especially Elif Dağlı, who we still contact with various questions and always get the right advice.

That was a great experience at Dunyagoz Eye Hospital in Izmir! I had an operation called LASIK and now enjoy an excellent vision! Dr Gokcen Gokce was very professional, competent and kind, he answered all my questions. Everything was done quick and I left hospital next morning. The hospital is new, very clean and facilities are just great with very big and lovely rooms . I definitely recommend to choose Dunyagoz in Izmir. Special thanks to a young lady Sinem Yuldiz, who accompanied me all the way throughout my stay. She translated all for me, checked on me regularly and was all the points of help! Flawless experience. I am glad I did it exactly there!
