Understanding ICL
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is an advanced vision correction procedure in which a soft, biocompatible lens is placed inside the eye to correct refractive errors.
Unlike LASIK, ICL does not reshape the cornea. Instead, it works with your natural eye structure to provide sharp, clear vision, making it an excellent option for people with high glasses power or thin corneas.
ICL is often recommended for individuals who have high myopia, are not suitable for LASIK, have thin corneas, experience dry eyes, or want a reversible vision correction option.
Who Can Benefit
ICL is designed for people who want freedom from glasses and contact lenses, especially when LASIK is not suitable. You may be a good candidate if:
A detailed eye examination is required to determine your eligibility for ICL surgery.
How ICL Works
In ICL surgery, a specially designed Collamer Lens is implanted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. The lens remains invisible and works naturally with your eye to focus light correctly on the retina.
Patients cannot see or feel the implanted lens, but they enjoy sharper and clearer vision. ICL preserves the corneal structure and does not cause the dry eye issues sometimes associated with corneal laser procedures.

Your ICL Journey
Advanced measurements and scans are performed to assess your suitability for ICL and to understand your eye anatomy and prescription.
The ideal ICL size and power are selected based on detailed eye parameters to ensure a precise and comfortable fit.
The Collamer Lens is inserted through a tiny incision and positioned safely behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Most patients notice significant vision improvement within a few days and continue to enjoy clearer vision as healing progresses, with regular follow-up visits.
