1. 1) The Intra-Collamer Lens (ICL)
The
Intra-Collamer
Lens, more commonly
referred to as Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)
is a highly established
lens that has been in the
market for over 15
years with more than
200,000
lenses
implanted world-wide.
The ICL is an excellent
option to treat refractive errors, especially for
patients with high
astigmatism. For this surgery, the ICL is placed
behind and between the iris and natural lens of
the eye and hence is not visible from the outside.
2) Phakic Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL)
This lens is an alternative to the Implantable
Contact Lens, with the main difference being the
placement of the lens. Unlike the ICL, where the
lens is placed behind and between the iris, and
natural lens of the eye, the IOL is placed in the
anterior segment of the eye in front of the iris.
Since the lens is inserted in from of the iris, it is
more easily accessible, making it less traumatic
and easier to insert and remove, if necessary. It
also reduces the risk of increased post-surgery
eye-pressure.
In line with the commitment to maintaining our
position at the forefront of technology, EEC continues to acquire the latest in cutting-edge equipment
from its technology partners.
1) Flap Creation
With established partners like Ziemer and IntraLase,
EEC strives to stay abreast of
flap-creation technology through
the acquisition of the latest
versions of the Femto LDV and
iFS femtosecond laser systems
respectively. Femtosecond lasers
make it possible for “Blade-free
LASIK” with seamless integration
into both LASIK and other
corneal surgical procedures.
Smoother flaps, optimal centration with improved safety and
stability, are just some of the
advancements patients can
expect from their EAGLELASIK
experience.
2) Cornea Sculpting
Cornea sculpting involves the shaping of the cornea,
utilizing special excimer lasers. By changing the
shape and steepness of corneas,
we are able achieve lasting
correction for a wide range of
ocular aberrations. These
super-fast lasers combine high
speed with superb precision to
deliver outstanding outcomes for our patients.
Wavelight and Schwind are just
some of our renowned partners,
with the EX-500 and Amaris
ranges respectively defining
the cutting-edge in excimer
laser technology.
3) Cornea Strengthening
Collagen cross-linking is a breakthrough corneastrengthening technology. Using a revolutionary
technique to dramatically
reduce procedure times while
improving the quality of
outcomes, EEC is better
equipped to make a LASIK a
safer and more compatible
procedure for patients with
thinner corneas.
Furthermore, at EEC, we offer a One-Day LASIK
experience where our patients can complete both
pre-LASIK assessments and LASIK surgery for both
eyes on the same day. EEC is motivated to provide
top notch quality care for our patients not just for
the short trip ahead but for their lifetime as an indication of our commitment to excellence and firstclass service to everyone.

LASIK &
REFRACTIVE SURGERY

2. But otherwise, Epi-Lasik has shown to offer safe and
excellent long-term visual outcomes. This technique is
recommended to patients with thin corneas, and to
those who lead an active sporting lifestyle.
W
world’s
latest and advanced femtosecond laser, the Ziemer’s
FEMTO LDV to do this procedure. Unlike the Intralase
which requires the patient to have a flap created at a
separate sitting, this machine is compact and the
procedure is seamless and done at the same sitting, and
more importantly, the femtosecond laser uses more
precisely focused laser pulses at thousands of times less
energy per pulse than Intralase, which makes it even
safer. This is a point of drastic differentiation between
the femtosecond laser and Intralase.
