[Director Nakamura] It is unfortunate.

An unfortunate thing that has happened recently is that some patients have had their ICL removed and want to have it replaced. Although this is a rare occurrence that occurs in about 1000 in XNUMX people, I feel sorry for the patients who have had this result despite paying a high price for the surgery.

The reason for this is that patients are unable to adjust to the way they see after surgery and suffer from so-called ``indeterminate complaints,'' which are difficult for others to understand, such as having a headache, feeling unwell, and not feeling refreshed.It is not by any means overcorrected, and the surgery went perfectly as planned, but it is a maladaptive condition, and this may be unavoidable.

Now, as explained on the Metama Channel, it is technically more than 10 times more difficult to take it out than to put it in.It also puts some strain on the eyes.However, compared to LASIK, which is irreversible, ICL's advantage is that it is reversible.

We pay close attention to our patients' eyes and do our best in everything, starting with the pre-surgical examination.So, just when I think I've achieved the perfect result, I'm asked to pull out, which makes me feel a little discouraged.The patient may be suffering more.

I don't want to feel the same sense of emptiness that comes from tearing down a perfectly constructed building with great care and returning it to vacant land.During the talk beforehand, I wondered if there was some way I could not detect it.
