ICL Implantation

ICL is an ‘implantable collamer lens’ that works with the eye to correct vision.

It is the choice for patients with an active lifestyle and those who cannot accept anything less than highest quality VISION.

ICL is the ideal procedure for patients of age between 20 years to 40 years of age; it is indicated for patients who have very high myopia or hypermetropia with thin cornea and are not eligible for lasik procedure, who want to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness.

TORIC ICL is a great option for patients it is indicated for the patients who have very high refractive error along with astigmatism (cylindrical numbers) and are not elligle for laser vision correction.

Each of the lenses is custom made to meet the needs of an individual patient.

HOW IT WORKS?

ICL is made from COLLAMER, because of the collagen base in COLLAMER; it is biocompatible with the eye and provides exceptional quality of vision.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that go on the surface of the eye, ICL is positioned into the eye between the IRIS (colored part of the eye) AND NATURAL LENS where it stays indefinitely.

If your vision changes dramatically it can be removed from the eye.

It is the best choice for a lens that is going to remain inside your eye for a lifetime.

IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR ICL IMPLANTATION

The ideal candidate for ICL Implantation is:

The patient having refractive error above -15D Sph/ +6 Sph with thin cornea
It is also indicated in some patients having small error of refraction but very thin cornea.
Some patients who have very high plus or minus numbers and very thin corneas or have other corneal conditions that might lead them to complications with Lasik Laser procedure, another alternative is ICL to correct their vision.
It is readily implanted in your eye behind the iris of the eye, by gently folding it and injecting it into the anterior chamber through a tiny incision of 3.0mm in length placed by the eye surgeon at the clear edge of the cornea. Patients can go home immediately with clear vision after ICL implantation. We can correct numbers above -20 D or + 8 D with ICL implantation. The ICL was approved by the US FDA in December 2005.
