"ICL is a revolutionary vision correction innovation that delivers clear and sharp vision to millions of individuals all over the globe."

What is ICL?

ICL is a sophisticated vision correction that implants a foldable, biocompatible lens between the natural lens and the Iris.

The lens corrects conditions like near-sightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The lenses are soft, foldable, and moisture-retentive, which would cooperate naturally with the eyes without removing the natural lens.

ICL lenses are constantly kept inside the eye, but can also be removed or replaced in case they become necessary in the future.

How does it work?

An ICL lens is placed between the natural lens and the Iris to correctly focus light onto the retina, correcting normal refractive faults such as:

Myopia

(Near-sightedness)

Difficulty seeing distant objects.

Hyperopia

(Farsightedness)

Difficulty seeing objects up close.

Astigmatism

(Irregular Cornea)

Blurred vision for near and distance due to a non-spherical cornea.

ICL's placement in the ocular system works as a permanent component of your vision system, providing clear and high-definition vision.

Course of Action for ICL

Patients should first visit for the assessment, where our specialists will examine their eye condition and corneal thickness, to see whether they are fit for ICL or not.
Before the commencement of surgery, an anaesthesiology expert would apply some drops in your eyes to numb them. The surgeon then cleans and opens up your eyes for the procedure.
Surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea and then places the ICL through the injector into the anterior chamber of the eye. The ICL lens is then positioned between the natural lens and the Iris.
The surgeon will verify the positioning and the stability of the ICL. The incision will heal on its own. No stitches are required, and it is done under topical anaesthesia.
After surgery, there would be some sort of discomfort for a while, and then it would stabilise within a few minutes, and within a few days, you could see normally. You will need to return for regular postoperative check-ups to keep an eye on your recovery process and evaluate your vision stability and any complications.

Who is eligible for ICL?

Thin or Irregular corneas Candidates for ICL are patients having thin or irregular corneas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why go for ICL when we have LASIK?

Not everyone is suitable for LASIK. If your corneal thickness is thin and your eye is not compatible with LASIK, then ICL is best for you.

Difference between LASIK and ICL?

LASIK involves a laser to reshape the cornea, while ICL implants a lens between your Iris and the natural lens.

For how much time would ICL last?

ICL treatment is generally permanent, but it can be reversed if you develop any age-related problems like cataract or a vision change (presbyopia).

Is ICL reversible?

Yes, ICL is reversible. It can be removed or replaced if necessary.

Is ICL surgery safe?

Yes, it is safe when performed by skilled and trusted surgeons. With any surgery, there is an element of risk involved, like infections, inflammations, and temporary visual disturbances, but major complications are very rare.

Do we still need to wear glasses or contact lenses after the surgery or in the near future?

In general, many patients have reduced their dependency on glasses, but some still use them for either reading or while driving.

Is ICL surgery successful?

Yes, ICL surgery is safe, as it has given an excellent success rate until now, and our patients are really happy after getting it done.

Are foreign body elements safe for our eyes and health?

Yes, it is extremely safe as these lenses are biocompatible lenses that suit your body and improve your vision.

How much time does it take to recover?

It generally takes 4 days to recover fully, and for regular activities like swimming and exercise, you would need to wait at least a month or until the doctor's approval.

Are these Lenses expensive?

No, it is affordable. There are two types of it: one made in India and the other imported from Switzerland. Neither of them has major differences, and both are very suitable for the human eye.
