ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Surgery is a vision correction procedure where a soft, biocompatible lens is implanted inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens. It corrects refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, offering high-definition vision without removing any corneal tissue.
False Notions About ICL Surgery:
It is the same as LASIK
It involves removing the natural lens
It is only for elderly people
ICL lenses are visible to others
It is a painful procedure
Who is a Suitable Candidate for ICL?
Individuals aged 21 to 45 years
Those with thin corneas or high refractive errors not eligible for LASIK
Patients with stable vision for at least a year
Those not suffering from chronic eye diseases
People seeking reversible and long-term vision correction
Advantages of ICL Surgery:
High-quality vision, especially in low light conditions
Reversible procedure – lens can be removed or replaced
No corneal tissue removed
Fast recovery and minimal discomfort
UV protection built into the lens
What Happens During ICL Surgery?
BEFORE SURGERY
An ophthalmologist will assess your eyes with detailed scans and measurements to determine ICL suitability and the correct lens power. You may be prescribed drops before surgery and asked to stop wearing contact lenses for a few days.
DAY OF SURGERY
The procedure is done under topical anesthesia in a sterile operation theatre, usually as a day-care surgery. A tiny incision is made at the edge of the cornea to insert the folded ICL, which gently unfolds behind the iris. The process is quick, often completed within 20–30 minutes for both eyes, and most patients report minimal discomfort.
Post-Surgery Recovery & Results:
You will need to rest for a few hours and use prescribed eye drops for healing. Vision usually improves within 24–48 hours. Regular follow-ups will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing.
