ICL surgery involves placing a permanent, implantable lens inside the eye to correct vision without removing corneal tissue.
Why Consider ICL?
Reversible & Long-Lasting:
- Unlike LASIK, the lens can be removed or replaced if needed.
Great for High Prescriptions:
- Suitable for severe myopia (nearsightedness) beyond LASIK’s range.
No Corneal Reshaping:
- Ideal for thin corneas or dry eyes.
What to Expect
Consultation:
- Eye evaluation to determine lens power and fit.
Surgical Procedure:
- A biocompatible lens is implanted behind the iris.
- Takes 15-30 minutes per eye.
Recovery:
- Rapid recovery, with improved vision within 24-48 hours.
Results & Considerations
Long-Term Outcomes:
- Clear, sharp vision without altering the cornea.
Risks & Complications:
- Rare risks include cataract formation or increased eye pressure.
Ideal Candidates:
- People with high prescriptions or thin corneas who cannot undergo LASIK.
