Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery
Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery is a procedure to improve vision, often used as an alternative to laser eye surgery. It involves placing a thin, flexible lens inside the eye, just behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. This lens corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. Unlike cataract surgery, which removes the cloudy natural lens, ICL surgery preserves it. The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes under local anesthesia, offering a quick recovery with excellent visual outcomes. ICLs can be removed or replaced if needed, making them a flexible option for visual correction.
