What is ICL Surgery?

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is a vision correction procedure ideal for individuals with high myopia, thin corneas, or dry eyes who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK or SMILE. Unlike laser-based surgeries, ICL involves implanting a biocompatible lens between the iris and the natural lens, offering a reversible and maintenance-free solution for clear vision.
