Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)

Overview

Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) is a modern solution for vision correction, especially for individuals with high refractive errors or who are not suitable candidates for LASIK surgery. The ICL is a synthetic lens placed inside the eye, improving vision without removing natural eye tissue.

Routinely performed procedures

Initial Eye Examination: The ophthalmologist conducts a thorough eye exam to determine if ICL is suitable for you.
Lens Insertion: A small incision is made, and the ICL is inserted inside the eye between the cornea and the natural lens.
Post-Surgery Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to ensure the lens is positioned correctly and to monitor for any complications.
