ICL - Implantable Collamer Lens

Sharp, Clear Vision Without Laser Surgery

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an advanced, reversible vision correction procedure for patients with high prescriptions or dry eye concerns. Unlike LASIK, ICL does not remove corneal tissue-instead, a thin, flexible lens is placed inside the eye for permanent, crystal-clear vision.

Key Benefits of ICL:

  • Perfect for High Prescriptions: Ideal for severe myopia (high nearsightedness) that LASIK may not correct.

  • No Corneal Tissue Removal: A great option for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes.

  • Reversible & Upgradeable: Unlike LASIK, the ICL can be removed or replaced if needed.

  • UV Protection: Built-in UV-blocking technology protects eye health.

Ideal Candidates for ICL:

  • Age 21-45 with stable vision

  • Moderate to severe nearsightedness (typically worse than -5.00D)

  • Not a good candidate for LASIK due to thin corneas or dry eyes

  • No history of glaucoma or cataracts
