Implantable contact lenses are microscopically thin, soft lenses that are implanted in the eye to permanently correct severe nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
The ICL is a thin, clear lens surgically implanted into the eye in front of your natural lens and behind your iris. Think of it as a contact lens you never have to insert, clean or replace.
The ICL procedure is often recommended for patients with high myopic or hyperopic prescriptions, as the cornea is often not thick enough to be treated safely with LASIK or PRK. Because no corneal tissue is removed, the ICL is also completely reversible.
If you are between the ages of 21 and 45, and suffer from farsightedness, nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, then you may be a great candidate for this procedure.
Enjoy a new level of vision correction that's sharper, clearer, more vivid, and has greater depth and dimension. Night driving is also improved with little to no halos or glare.
Reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts.
We offer bilateral (both eyes) treatment, reducing recovery time. Recovery is usually quick and pain-free. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort. You can get back to daily routines after 24-48 hours.
ICL can permanently correct your vision (until cataracts develop), the lens can be removed and/or replaced if necessary. No natural corneal tissue is permanently removed or reshaped in any way.
No daily maintenance as with traditional contact lenses, and no problems with daily activities such as swimming and sports.
Patients who have thin corneas or prescriptions too high for LASIK can still live a life free of glasses.
About LASIK →Your vision changes as you grow older and eventually almost everyone will need cataract surgery. An important benefit with the ICL is that you have options for future treatments. The lens can be removed and replaced if your vision changes substantially, or if you have another procedure at any time.
Which is good for patients who have chronic dry eye.
Our Dry Eye Clinic →The benefits of ICL surgery
There is no maintenance associated with the lens and they can remain in place as long as you are satisfied with your vision. If at any point your vision changes or you wish to have them removed, it can be done easily and without compromising your current vision.
