ICL Surgery

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery corrects myopia, astigmatism, and some hyperopia by implanting a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye -- unlike LASIK, it does not reshape the cornea at all, which makes it a safe alternative for patients with thin corneas or high prescriptions who aren't good LASIK candidates. The Collamer lens is invisible, cannot be felt, works naturally with the eye, and includes built-in UV protection. During the procedure, numbing drops are applied, a tiny self-sealing micro-incision is made, the folded lens is inserted and positioned behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, then unfolds into place -- no stitches needed. Because the cornea is untouched, the procedure is considered reversible, unlike LASIK's permanent reshaping. Small risks include temporary glare/halos at night, a mild rise in eye pressure, or rare infection -- all minimised with proper evaluation. Vision is noticeably clearer within 24 hours, most daily activities resume within a week, and full stabilisation takes 2-4 weeks.
