ICL and IPCL are ultra-thin lenses that are implanted inside the eye — between the iris and the natural lens — to correct myopia and astigmatism.
They work like a permanent contact lens inside the eye, providing sharp, stable vision without altering the cornea.
Ideal Candidates:
- High myopia (> –8.0 D) or hyperopia up to +6.0 D
- Thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK / PRK
- Dry-eye syndrome or contact-lens intolerance
- Desire for reversible vision correction
How the ICL / IPCL Procedure Works
- Comprehensive eye evaluation — including anterior-chamber depth, pupil size and lens power measurements.
- Custom ICL / IPCL lens ordered for each eye (based on biometry and refraction data).
- Day-care surgery under topical or local anesthesia (~15 minutes per eye).
- Lens inserted through a tiny 2.8 mm incision and positioned behind the iris.
- Immediate recovery — most patients see clearly within 24 hours.
Key Advantages:
- No corneal flap or tissue removal
- Reversible procedure (preserves natural lens)
- Stable vision for high powers up to –18 D
- UV-protective lens material (Collamer / Hydrophilic Acrylic)
- Suitable for active and young professionals

FAQs
ICL does not remove corneal tissue; a custom lens is placed inside the eye and can be reversed if required.
No, the lens is placed behind the iris and is completely invisible from outside.
ICLs are permanent and biocompatible; they can remain for life unless eye power changes significantly.
Usually performed one eye at a time — 24 hours apart for maximum safety.
