Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL)

Why choose ICL ?

 

  • Ideal Candidates for ICLs
    Implantable Collamer Lens (ICLs) could be a perfect option for individuals with a high prescription, a thin or weak cornea or persistently dry eyes.
  • Understanding ICL Technology
    ICLs are flexible plastic lenses that augment your natural lens and correct the eye’s refractive – or focusing – issues. They are practically invisible and, once implanted, they continue to do their job for decades. Even better, many patients like the idea that ICLs are reversible/removable if desired.

  • No tissue removal

    ICL surgery is suitable for patients with thin or weak corneas as no corneal tissue is removed to achieve vision correction.

  • No more dry eyes

    ICL surgery does not lead to changes in the tear film and is therefore suitable for patients who have pre-existing dry eye problems.

  • Unlike your traditional contact lenses you cannot feel phakic intraocular lenses in your eyes.
  • The ICL is made of collamer, a highly biocompatible advanced lens material which contains a small amount of purified collagen. Collamer does not cause a reaction inside the eye and contains an ultraviolet blocker that protects the eye.
  • A big advantage of ICL is that it can permanently correct your vision; yet no natural tissue is removed in any way during the procedure. If for the unlikely reason you need or wish to remove your ICLs in the future, it can be done.
