Implantable Collamer Lens
The Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) is a revolutionary solution designed to effectively correct short-sightedness and astigmatism through a minimally invasive procedure.
This advanced lens is precisely placed between the iris—the colored part of the eye and the natural crystalline lens, working in harmony with your eye’s anatomy.
Biocompatible and seamlessly integrated, the ICL enhances your vision by complementing your natural lens rather than replacing or altering it, providing you with a clearer, more vibrant view of the world.
If you’re shortsighted or have astigmatism, the Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) could be your gateway to a life free from glasses! While LASIK is a popular choice for vision correction, the ICL presents remarkable advantages for qualified candidates, including those with high prescriptions or unique lifestyle requirements.
Schedule a consultation with our experienced eye surgeons today to discover if the ICL is the right fit for you and embark on your journey toward clearer, more vibrant vision.
Ideal candidates for ICL typically:
- Are shortsighted or have short-sightedness with astigmatism
- Have a stable glasses or contact lens prescription (unchanged for at least a year)
- Are between the ages of 21 and 40
- May have been deemed unsuitable for LASIK or PRK due to dry eyes or thin corneas
- Do not have other eye conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts, and are not pregnant or nursing
Pre-operative Assessment
Before scheduling the ICL procedure, your optometrist will conduct a series of standard assessments to measure the unique characteristics of your eyes.
Arrival and Preparation
Upon arrival, clinical staff will administer eye drops to dilate and numb your pupils.
Procedure Steps 1:
The ophthalmologist will create a small opening at the base of your cornea to insert the ICL. The procedure is painless due to the numbing medication.
Procedure Steps 2:
After inserting the lens, the ophthalmologist will make any necessary adjustments for proper positioning.
Post-Procedure:
The procedure is typically over quickly, and many patients experience improved vision almost immediately. Additional eye drops will be prescribed to prevent infection following the procedure.
Painless Procedure
The implantation of these lenses takes less than half an hour and is a quick, comfortable, and pain-free process.
Keeps Your Vision Stable
Implantable contact lenses do not interfere with your vision, ensuring it remains stable over time without altering your prescription.
Does Not Aggravate Eye Allergies
These lenses are a remarkable solution for individuals with dry eyes and other allergies.
Great Options for Sensitive Eye
Wearing daily contact lenses can exacerbate eye allergies, increasing sensitivity and the risk of infection if proper hygiene practices are not followed.
