What is ICL surgery?
Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery is a vision correction procedure where a thin, flexible lens is placed inside the eye, between the natural lens and the iris. It is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, offering an alternative to LASIK or glasses.
Who is a good candidate for ICL?
Ideal candidates are adults between 21 and 45 years old with stable vision and moderate to high degrees of refractive error. It is especially suited for those who are not eligible for laser eye surgery due to thin corneas or dry eyes.
How the procedure works
ICL surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis and takes about 20–30 minutes. The surgeon creates a small incision in the eye to insert the folded lens, which unfolds and is positioned behind the iris. No tissue is removed from the cornea.
Benefits of ICL surgery
ICL provides sharp, high-quality vision, especially in low-light conditions. The lens is invisible and does not require daily maintenance like regular contact lenses. Another benefit is that the procedure is reversible—ICLs can be removed or replaced if needed.
Recovery and aftercare
Most people notice improved vision within 24 hours. Recovery is typically quick, though you may need to use eye drops and avoid strenuous activity for a few days. Regular follow-up visits ensure the eye is healing properly.
Risks and side effects
ICL surgery is considered safe, but potential risks include infection, increased eye pressure, glare, or halos around lights. Rarely, the lens may need to be repositioned or removed.
