EYE TREATMENTS

ICL

ICL, also known as “Implantable Collamer Lens,” is a cutting-edge vision correction technology used to treat various refractive vision problems, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Unlike traditional eyeglasses or contact lenses, ICL is a surgically implanted, biocompatible lens that is placed inside the eye, specifically in front of the eye’s natural lens but behind the iris. This positioning allows the ICL to work in harmony with the eye’s natural focusing system to correct vision.

ICL surgery is a keyhole surgery similar to cataract surgery. The procedure involves the insertion of a small, biocompatible lens made of Collamer material, which is placed behind the iris and in front of the eye’s natural lens. The ICL is folded and inserted into the eye, where it will gently unfold. The procedure usually takes approximately 10 – 20 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic with sedation as a daycase. Once the lens is in place, the surgeon will close the incision with small stitches.

High-Quality Vision Correction

One of the main benefits of ICL eye surgery is that it offers high-quality vision correction. People who undergo this treatment achieve their desired clear vision. The success rate of ICL surgery is almost similar to LASIK eye surgery.

Quick Recovery

ICL eye surgery doesn’t require any downtime. You can go home after the treatment. However, following your eye doctor’s aftercare results is crucial to avoid any possible complications.

Stable and Predictable Results

Results from ICL surgery are usually stable. Once the surgeon implants the lens in your eye, you can expect steady results afterward.
