Your ICL surgery day is finally here, and that means you are just a few steps away from clearer, sharper vision. At Eye Can Refractive & Aesthetics, we want you to feel calm, confident, and ready. Here’s a complete checklist and a simple guide on what to bring, how to prepare, and what to expect during your surgery day.

What to Bring on Your Surgery Day

To make your visit as comfortable and hassle-free as possible, prepare these essentials before heading to the clinic:

• Valid ID – for registration and verification
• One adult companion – since you will not be able to drive after surgery
• Medications or inhaler (if applicable) – inform our staff if you use any and bring them with you
• Remaining balance or payment – payment is settled before the procedure
• Any required documents – if advised by our clinic

How to Prepare Before Coming In

To ensure a smooth procedure, follow these reminders before your surgery:

• Stop wearing contact lenses:

・Soft lenses: 3 days before surgery
・Toric or hard lenses: 1 week before

• Dress comfortably:

・Choose a cotton V-neck or crewneck shirt
・Avoid wool, turtlenecks, or hooded tops
・Skip jewelry, piercings, and makeup (including skincare or sunscreen)

• Do not use perfumes, sprays, or hair styling products as they can interfere with the laser’s stability
• Avoid wearing makeup or sunscreen as they can affect the eye’s cleanliness during surgery.
• Eat a light meal at least 2 hours before your scheduled time since food and drinks are not allowed in the operating suite
• Avoid alcohol and smoking at least one day before your surgery

What Happens on Your Surgery Day

Here’s what a typical surgery day at Eye Can looks like:

1. Pre-surgery examination and eye dilation – We will check your eyes and prepare them for surgery.
2. Payment and preparation – Settle any remaining balance and review your pre-surgery instructions.
3. Pre-surgery briefing and consultation – Your doctor will walk you through the procedure and answer any last-minute questions.
4. Surgery – The procedure is quick and painless thanks to numbing eye drops. A small incision allows the ICL lens to be gently inserted without reshaping your cornea.
5. Recovery – You will rest in our recovery booth right after surgery.
6. Post-surgery check – Before you go home, our team will examine your eyes to make sure everything looks good.
7. Discharge – You will receive your medications and aftercare instructions before leaving.

What to Expect After Surgery

It is normal to experience mild soreness, blurriness, or light sensitivity after your procedure. These symptoms will improve as your eyes heal. Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days, while full stabilization may take several weeks.

You will also have scheduled follow-up visits to ensure proper recovery:

• 1 day after surgery
• 3 days after surgery
• 1 week after surgery
• 1 month after surgery
• 3 months after surgery

The first four checkups are completely free of charge at Eye Can.
