Understanding ICL

What is ICL Surgery? 

ICL surgery involves implanting a collamer lens directly into the eye to correct vision problems such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike traditional laser eye surgery, ICL is reversible, making it an excellent option for those seeking flexibility.

Key Features of ICL Surgery: 

  • Reversibility: The lens can be removed or replaced if your vision changes. 
  • Immediate Results: Enjoy significantly improved vision within days of surgery. 
  • Minimal Maintenance: Once implanted, the lens requires no ongoing care. 
  • Safety and Precision: Advanced technology ensures accurate and safe placement of the lens. 

The ICL surgery process is straightforward and typically completed in under 30 minutes per eye. Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure involves placing the implantable collamer lens between your iris and natural lens through a small incision. 

The Steps Include: 

  • Consultation: A thorough eye examination to determine your suitability. 
  • Customised Lens Design: Lenses are tailored to your specific vision requirements. 
  • Quick and Painless Procedure: Surgery is minimally invasive with little discomfort. 
  • Post-Operative Care: Follow-up appointments at 2 weeks and 3 months will be booked in and you are free to visit our team for check ups whenever you need to within a year of treatment. This ensures a smooth recovery process.
