These symptoms tend to diminish with time, but it may affect night driving ability.

Increase In Eye Pressure

A rare Implantable Collamer Lens side effect is a sudden rise in eye pressure. This may happen in the first week after surgery. The sooner the doctor is alerted to this complication, the greater the chance of avoiding serious damage.

INFECTION

All surgical procedures mean there is a risk of infection. Severe infection during Implantable Collamer Lens implantation is rare.

Damage To The Crystalline Lens

Since the Implantable Collamer Lens is placed inside the eye, there is a potential risk in touching the eye’s natural (crystalline) lens. While occurring in less than 1.5% of patients, any damage to the natural lens may cause an opacity (cataract) of the lens and, in the most severe case may require removal of the cataractous natural lens and replacement of the natural lens with a synthetic lens.

Loss Of Vision

In extremely rare, there is a possibility of vision loss from all refractive procedures. Typically, losing vision is because of bleeding, severe inflammation, or an untreated infection.
