If you’re tired of depending on glasses or contact lenses, ICL could be your perfect solution. At our Indore eye hospital, we offer advanced Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) treatment that helps you enjoy naturally clear vision—safely and comfortably.
What is ICL?
ICL is a soft, flexible lens that’s gently placed inside your eye, behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. It works with your eye to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism—without reshaping the cornea, as in LASIK.
An implantable collamer lens (ICL) is an artificial lens that’s permanently implanted in the eye. The lens is used to treat:
Implanting an ICL requires surgery. A surgeon places the lens between the eye’s natural lens and colored iris. The lens works the eye’s existing lens to bend (refract) light on the retina, which produces clearer vision.
Why people choose ICL:
Great option for people who aren’t suitable for LASIK (thin corneas, high power, dry eyes).
Vision improvement is quick—most patients see clearly within a day or two.
The lens stays in place permanently but can be removed if needed.
No daily lens care or maintenance required.
Added UV protection for your eyes.
The procedure is simple and painless:
It’s usually a short, outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia. After a small incision, the lens is gently inserted and unfolds naturally inside your eye. You can return home the same day and resume normal activities in a couple of days.
Some of the best candidates for ICL are those with high glasses/contact lens prescriptions. An ICL can offer the benefit of crisp, clear vision, free of halos and glare. A patient should be relatively young, between the ages of 21-45, since presbyopia and cataracts start to develop later in life and could impact the clarity of vision.
Weighing implantable contact lens pros and cons is important when considering this refractive surgery option. Talk to your doctor today about whether ICL is right for you.
Your doctor will make sure that you meet the parameters for which Visian ICL is approved before proceeding with the surgery. This includes certain age limitations and refractive error parameters. There may be concerns with the procedure’s safety if you have a chronic condition causing hormonal fluctuations, are taking medication that causes vision changes, have a condition that inhibits proper wound healing, or have problems with your corneal endothelium. Your doctor can discuss these with you in more detail.
Unlike LASIK, ICL doesn’t involve reshaping the cornea. It’s ideal for patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, or high power who are not suitable for LASIK.
Yes, it is reversible .It is possible to remove the lenses, but their removal requires another surgery.
