ICL Surgery

ICL outcomes don’t stop at implantation. They’re defined by what happens after. Dr. Milad Modabber walks through the importance of postoperative vault: the distance between the crystalline lens and the posterior surface of the ICL. This is where precision really matters. Low vault → risk of anterior subcapsular cataract. High vault → angle crowding and potential #IOP issues. Anterior segment OCT gives you an objective way to both size pre-op and assess position post-op. Non-contact, reproducible, and precise down to microns, which is exactly what you need when small differences can change outcomes. Key point: this isn’t just about getting the lens in. It’s about confirming it’s sitting where it should be and acting early if it’s not.
