What is ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)?
ICL is a procedure that corrects severe nearsightedness by placing a specially designed lens inside the eye.
It offers a permanent solution for people with high myopia who may not be candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas or high prescriptions.
Benefits of ICL:
- Clear Vision: Immediate improvement in vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Safe and Reversible: The lens can be removed or replaced if necessary, offering long-term flexibility.
- No Corneal Reshaping: Unlike LASIK, ICL does not involve reshaping the cornea, making it suitable for those with corneal issues.
The ICL Procedure:
-
A small incision is made in the eye, and the lens is inserted behind the iris, in front of the eye's natural lens.
-
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes less than 30 minutes.
-
Local anesthesia ensures that the patient feels no discomfort during the procedure.
Who Should Consider ICL?
- Individuals with severe myopia, typically ranging from -3.0 to -20.0 diopters.
- Those with thin or irregular corneas who cannot undergo LASIK.
- People who want a permanent solution for clearer vision but do not wish to wear glasses or contact lenses.
