ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

ICL (IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS)

The ICL is an artificial lens, similar in function to a contact lens and structure to an intraocular lens. The ICL is implanted in front of the eye’s natural lens, in the space behind the iris, so that it is invisible to outside observers and the patient.

ADVANTAGES OF ICL

Can correct high Myopia

ICL CAN CORRECT MYOPIA UP TO -20 D even in patients with thin cornea who are not suitable to LASIK surgery. i.e it is suitable to correct severe myopia.

ICL can correct even associates astigmatism up to -4.00 DIOPTER CYLINDER.

Stability of the Cornea

The ICL surgery does not tamper with the stability of the cornea as no corneal flap is raised, nor is any corneal tissue removed as in LASIK. Because of the very small incision, about 3.5 mm, the procedure and recovery time is reduced dramatically. Therefore, most people can resume daily activities in just a few short days with clearer vision.

UV Protection

The collamer that is used to make the ICL is a biocompatible product that protects the eye from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun while allowing natural light to pass through the eye without any alteration.

Reversible Procedure

Very rarely, the power of glasses required for optimum vision may change after surgery also. In case this happens, or in case of the availability of new vision correction options, ICL is completely removable.
