What Is ICL Eye Surgery?

ICL stands for IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS. It is an advanced thin lens that is permanently placed in the eye. ICL is made of a substance that occurs naturally in our body, called Collamer. This procedure requires surgery. In this, ICL is inserted just behind the iris & in front of the eye’s natural lens.

ICL Eye Surgery is performed to treat:

  • Myopia/ near-sightedness

Types of ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a popular alternative to traditional contact lenses or LASIK surgery for individuals who wish to correct their vision. Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a type of implantable contact lens that is made from a biocompatible material called Collamer. It is used to correct refractive errors and provide clear vision. There are two main types of ICL available: ICL Spherical and ICL Toric. Each type has its own unique characteristics and benefits, catering to different vision needs.

  • ICL Spherical: This type of ICL is designed to correct spherical refractive errors, such as nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). ICL Spherical lenses have uniform power throughout the lens, allowing for clear vision at all distances. They are implanted inside the eye, just behind the iris, and can provide a wide range of vision correction.
  • ICL Toric: ICL Toric lenses are specifically designed to correct both spherical refractive errors and astigmatism. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye is irregularly shaped, causing blurred or distorted vision. ICL Toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens, effectively correcting astigmatism. These lenses are customized to the individual's specific astigmatism measurements and implanted in the eye to provide clear, sharp vision making them a preferred choice recommended by the best eye doctors in Delhi.

Benefits Of ICL Eye Surgery

Among the benefits discussed above, some other advantages to this surgery include-

  • High-definition Vision
  • Permanent yet reversible solution
  • Quicker recovery time
  • Provides great night vision

Why Opt. For ICL Eye Surgery Over Contact Lenses?

While contact lenses or spectacles can be an immediate response for anyone, it has been found to be very inconvenient for many. ICL Eye Surgery is better option, because of the following reasons:

  • It is a permanent solution.
  • It helps in better vision since it does not move.
  • It can help correct spherical power, as well as cylindrical power.

  • Then, the ICL is inserted through the incision. Since the lens is very thin, it might be folded and then unfolded in the eye.
  • Next, the lubricant will be removed. Now, depending on the incision size, stitches might be added.

Frequently Asked Question About ICL (IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS)

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is a refractive eye surgery procedure that involves the insertion of a thin, prescription lens inside the eye to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

During ICL surgery, a small incision is made in the cornea, and the implantable lens is placed in the eye, between the iris and the natural lens. The lens then corrects the refractive errors, allowing light to focus properly on the retina and improving vision.

ICL surgery is considered safe and effective when performed by an experienced ophthalmologist. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications involved. It is important to consult with a qualified eye surgeon and discuss the potential risks and benefits based on your individual circumstances.

Ideal candidates for ICL surgery are individuals who are at least 21 years old, have stable vision prescription, and are not suitable candidates for LASIK or other corneal refractive surgeries. An eye examination by a qualified eye surgeon can determine if you are a suitable candidate for ICL surgery.

Some of the benefits of ICL surgery include high-quality vision correction, wide range of treatable prescriptions, potential for reversible and removable lenses, minimal postoperative discomfort, and fast visual recovery.

The recovery process after ICL surgery is typically quick. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, although it may take a week or two for the vision to stabilize. It is important to follow the postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon for optimal healing.

Yes, ICL lenses can be removed or replaced if necessary. However, the decision to remove or replace the lens is typically based on individual circumstances and the advice of an eye surgeon. It is essential to consult with your surgeon regarding any concerns about ICL lens removal or replacement.
