Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)
Advanced vision correction without removing corneal tissue. Experience high-definition vision, especially designed for patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas.
Advanced Vision Correction Without Removing Corneal Tissue
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is an excellent option for patients who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or who have high refractive errors.
During the procedure, a soft, biocompatible lens is placed inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, without removing any corneal tissue. The natural lens remains in place, and the implanted lens is invisible to others.
Who Can Benefit from ICL?
- Have high myopia (high minus power)
- Have moderate to high astigmatism
- Have thin corneas
- Are unsuitable for LASIK or PRK
- Experience contact lens intolerance
- Desire high-quality vision with a reversible procedure
Advantages of ICL Surgery
Excellent visual quality
High definition, sharp vision without spectacles or contact lenses.
Suitable for high numbers
Can correct high myopia and astigmatism outside the range of LASIK.
Preserves corneal structure
No corneal tissue is removed, preserving the natural strength of the eye.
No dry eye syndrome
Does not cause dry eye associated with corneal laser procedures.
Invisible once implanted
The lens is placed behind the iris, completely invisible to others.
UV protection built-in
Many modern ICLs block harmful ultraviolet rays to protect internal eye structures.
Reversible procedure
The lens can be removed or exchanged if medically necessary in the future.
Rapid visual recovery
Most patients experience significantly improved vision within 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
An ICL is a soft, biocompatible lens implanted inside the eye to correct refractive errors while preserving the natural lens.
Neither procedure is universally better. LASIK is ideal for many patients with suitable corneas, while ICL is often preferred for high refractive errors, thin corneas, or when laser treatment is not advisable.
No. The lens is placed inside the eye and is not visible externally.
Yes. Unlike laser vision correction, ICL is reversible, and the lens can be removed or exchanged if medically necessary.
No. The procedure is performed using local anaesthetic eye drops, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.
Many patients notice significantly improved vision within 24–48 hours, with continued stabilization over the following days.
The lens is designed to remain inside the eye permanently unless there is a medical reason to remove or replace it.
