ICL vault measurement
I recently underwent my icl eye surgery. The ICL vault is 307um in left eye and 312um in right eye one day after surgery. Is this vault good? Will it drop below the minimum threshold of 250um before settling time of 3months.will it increase the risk of cataract?

Hello
Vault height between 250 to 750 micron is good.
These days lenses are very advanced and many studies have suggested that chances of cataract are very less even with low height vault

Hello we usually see these kind of ICL cases
ICL/IPCL is one the best technique for high numbers
We specialise in myopic/Astigmatic ICL
We usually filter the cases for low vault
250-750 is safe range
Usually it will get stable
