Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery presents an innovative solution for treating severe cases of nearsightedness. Unlike traditional contact lenses, implantable contact lenses are implanted inside the eye, specifically behind the iris.
This eye procedure offers a way to correct refractive errors without altering the natural structure of the cornea. It also serves as a viable alternative for patients who may not qualify for LASIK surgery.
The ICL procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
The eye is numbed with topical anesthesia before the procedure begins.
Small incisions are made in the cornea to insert a tiny ICL cartridge.
A protective gel is applied to the eye to prevent damage during the procedure. This also helps position the lens properly.
The implantable contact lens is inserted between the natural lens and the iris.
Once the lens unfolds completely, its corner is tucked behind the iris to make it invisible.
After the procedure, patients can immediately return home and resume activities the following day.
Implantable contact lens (ICL) surgery involves the insertion of a thin, prescription lens inside the eye to correct vision.
Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL surgery does not alter the corneal surface. Instead, it involves placing a prescription lens inside the eye, specifically behind the iris. It is suitable for patients with thin or irregular corneas.
The Lasik Surgery Clinic will conduct a comprehensive eye evaluation to determine your candidacy for the ICL surgery. Candidates for this procedure should have stable vision, healthy eyes, and certain refractive errors within the range that ICL can correct.
The implantable contact lens is reversible, as the lens can be removed if necessary. However, you should not try to remove it yourself, and remember to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your eye doctor first.
The ICL procedure provides long-term results, with many patients experiencing stable vision for years. To ensure the best results, follow-up appointments with The Lasik Surgery Clinic eye experts are recommended to monitor your eye health.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although it’s important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your eye doctor.
