ICL, or Implantable Collamer Lens, is an advanced vision correction procedure designed for people with high myopia (nearsightedness), farsightedness, or astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, ICL does not remove corneal tissue. Instead, a thin, biocompatible lens is implanted inside the eye, in front of the natural lens, to improve vision. The procedure is safe, reversible, and often provides clear vision without glasses or contact lenses.
ICL is not a disease, but a treatment. People may consider ICL if they experience:

Consultation and Evaluation.The first step in Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) treatment is a detailed consultation and thorough evaluation by an experienced ophthalmologist. During this visit, the doctor carefully assesses the overall health of the eyes, measures the patient’s refractive error, and performs specialized tests to determine whether ICL surgery is the most suitable option. This comprehensive assessment ensures that the procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to the individual’s unique vision needs.
Preoperative Measurements. Before proceeding with Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery, the ophthalmologist performs a series of highly precise measurements to evaluate the shape, size, and internal dimensions of the patient’s eyes. These detailed assessments help determine the exact size, curvature, and power of the ICL that will best suit the individual’s vision correction needs, ensuring an accurate fit and optimal visual outcomes after the procedure.
Surgical Procedure. During the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery, the ophthalmic surgeon makes a very small incision in the cornea and gently inserts the ICL — a soft, biocompatible, and flexible lens — into the eye. The lens is carefully positioned behind the iris and in front of the eye’s natural lens, where it remains invisible to others while providing clear, sharp vision. This minimally invasive procedure is typically quick, comfortable, and designed to ensure a smooth recovery with excellent visual results.
