What is ICL Surgery?

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery involves placing a specialized lens inside the eye to correct vision problems. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL adds a new lens while preserving the eye's natural structure.

Ideal Candidates for ICL

ICL surgery is perfect for:

  • High myopia (nearsightedness) patients

  • High hyperopia (farsightedness) patients

  • Patients with thin corneas

  • Those unsuitable for LASIK

  • Adults aged 18-45

  • Patients with stable vision

  • Those seeking reversible vision correction

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR ICL

  • Who is ideal for ICL instead of LASIK?
    People with high myopia/astigmatism, thin or irregular corneas, or dry eye who want quick recovery and crisp optics without corneal reshaping.

  • Is the ICL visible or felt?
    No. The lens sits behind the iris and in front of your natural lens—undetectable to others and not felt by you.

  • Is ICL reversible?
    Yes. The lens can be removed or exchanged if future needs change (e.g., cataract surgery later in life).

  • Can ICL correct astigmatism?
    Yes—Toric ICL models correct significant astigmatism alongside myopia for sharper vision.

  • How long does the procedure and recovery take?
    Surgery takes ~15–20 minutes per eye. Most patients see well within 24–48 hours with minimal activity restrictions.

  • Is ICL safe for dry‑eye patients?
    Often yes. Because the cornea isn’t ablated, ICL tends to be friendlier for people prone to dry eye.

  • What tests are required before ICL?
    We measure anterior chamber depth, white‑to‑white, corneal health, pupil size and calculate lens size/power precisely.

  • Will I need glasses after ICL?
    Most daily activities are glasses‑free. Tiny residual power, if present, can be corrected with light specs or a touch‑up plan.

  • What are potential side effects?
    Early halos/glare, temporary pressure rise, or inflammation are monitored and managed; regular follow‑ups keep the eye safe long‑term.

  • Why I Sight Eye Care for ICL?
    Accurate sizing protocols, toric planning, and careful postoperative monitoring at Khar & Dadar ensure crisp visual outcomes.
