Implantable collamer lens surgery
What is an Implantable Collamer Lens?
An Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) placed inside the eye fixes vision problems like astigmatism, hyperopia, or myopia short-sightedness. It presents a long-term fix for contact lenses and spectacles.
Though they are implanted inside the eye, ICLs function much as contact lenses. They do not call for maintenance or cleaning; they are invisible.
What does ICL surgery involve?
ICL surgery is typically performed as a day procedure in a hospital setting.
Your eye stays in place, and no replacement of the eye happens during the operation. The ICL is placed behind the eye pupil after a very small incision of about 3mm is made. Closing the incision calls for no stitches.
What are the advantages of ICL surgery compared to laser eye surgery?
Advantages of ICL surgery include:
- The procedure is fully reversible.
- Very high prescriptions that are unsuitable for laser eye surgery can be addressed with ICL implantation.
- ICL surgery generally causes fewer dry eye symptoms compared to laser eye surgery.
