Implantable Collamer Lens
Advanced Vision Correction for Patients Who Are Not Suitable for Laser Surgery
Sometimes Laser Is Not the Best Option. There Is Another Solution
Not everyone can have laser vision correction. If you have a high prescription, thin corneas or other issues that make laser surgery not suitable, you can still have clear vision without glasses or contact lenses.
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a procedure that corrects your vision by putting a tiny lens inside your eye without removing your natural lens. It gives you vision and keeps your eyes’ natural focusing ability.
At KD Eye Centre, our specialists evaluate whether the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is the safest and best option for your eyes.
What is an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)?
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a lens put inside your eye to correct vision problems. It is placed behind the iris and in front of your lens, so light focuses correctly on the retina, and you have clear vision.
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) does not change the shape of your cornea like laser surgery does. Your natural lens stays in place. Your eye works naturally while your vision gets better
Why Choose the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)?
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is an option for people who are not suitable for laser vision correction.
The benefits of the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) include:
- Vision
- Suitable for people with high myopia
- Keeps your natural cornea safe
- No tissue is removed from your cornea
- Risk of dry eye
- The lens is invisible once it is in place
- Lasting vision correction
- The procedure can be reversed if needed
Who Is a Candidate for the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)?
You might be a candidate for the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) if you:
- Are 18 years or older
- Have stable vision
- Have moderate myopia with or without astigmatism
- Have corneas that are not suitable for laser vision correction
- Have eyes otherwise
You need to have a comprehensive eye exam to see if the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is right for you.
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Procedure
First, you need to have an eye assessment. Our specialists do tests, including measuring your cornea, checking the front of your eye and looking at the back of your eye.
These tests help us figure out the size and power of the lens for you and make sure the procedure is safe.
Then we create a treatment plan just for you, based on your prescription, eye shape, lifestyle and what you want to see.
The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is done in a day with numbing eye drops. The lens is folded up. Put into your eye through a tiny cut, and then it unfolds and goes behind the iris.
The procedure is usually quick. You do not need stitches.
What to Expect
Most people recover quickly and comfortably from the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery. You might see an improvement in your vision within a few days, and it will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
Your doctor will provide you with eye drops and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure the lens is properly positioned.
