    ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) surgery is a vision correction procedure to treat nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism conditions. This contact lens is an artificial lens which is surgically placed inside the eye. It is carefully implanted between the natural lens and the iris, which is the coloured part of the eye.

    Unlike most of the laser refractive surgeries (LASIK and PRK) which treat the cornea on the outer portion of the eye, ICL(Implantable Contact Lens) surgery is intraocular surgery hence it is performed inside the sterile operating room to safeguard maximum safety.

    As the lens is implanted inside the eye, it does not require daily cleaning or replacement like a regular contact lens.

    ICL surgery has the benefit of delivering the capability of a clear vision with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.

    The Surgical procedure itself is done with plenty of medicine for numbness as well as sedation through an IV to make sure that the patients are comfortable during the entire duration of the surgery.

    ICL surgery can eliminate your dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses.

    Usually, the ICL surgery takes about thirty minutes, and recovery is quick as well. The surgery procedure is also considered to be very safe, but it may also cause side effects like cataracts or vision loss in sporadic cases.

    Your SRG Eye doctor can help you decide if ICL surgery is suitable for you. They’ll also consider and analyse various factors like your age, eye health, lifestyle and medical history.

    • If your corneas are healthy.
    • If your overall eye health is good.
    • If any family history of specific corneal disease exists.
    • If the individual is with active lifestyles and desires a quick recovery.
    • Your overall prescription has to be analysed to confirm that it can safely be treated with ICL.
    • If the individual is with slightly thin corneas or irregular corneas.
    • Astigmatism and/or moderate to significantly higher amounts of nearsightedness (myopia).
    • Usually, individuals who are over 21 years old, when vision is more likely to have stopped changing (stable), up to 45 years of age bracket.
    • A proper stable eye prescription which has not changed significantly over the last year.
    The prospective individual should always consult his/her eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) for more information and better understanding, including an evaluation of their candidacy.
    A qualified SRG ophthalmologist will insert the ICL through a tiny micro-opening, placing it inside the eye in front of your eye’s natural lens and just behind the iris.
    Absolutely not, in fact, most of the patients confirm that they were very comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Your SRG ophthalmologist will carefully use topical anaesthetic drops before the actual procedure and may prefer to administer a mild sedative as well.
    Your SRG Eye surgeon will give you eye drops (anti-inflammatory and antibiotic) to prevent complications and relieve any discomfort. Arrangements will be made for you to have a follow-up appointment the next day. You will also need to ensure the follow-up appointments at one week, one month and six months to monitor your progress over time.

    It is of vital importance that you follow your eye surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attend the follow-up check-up appointments to help avoid any kind of complications. The ICL will stay in place by itself, and you will not feel the presence of ICL in your eye.
    Most of the times, people experience improved vision immediately. Still, you should be prepared and expect your vision to be blurry or hazy with increased sensitivity to the light for an initial couple of days.
    In some cases, it can take from two to four weeks before their vision gets stable.
    One should be able to get back to work and start doing routine work (not heavy work) again in a couple of days after the procedure.
    Just like with any types of surgeries, issues can sometimes happen during the operation or afterwards during the healing period. Such risk chances usually are very low.

    But still, your SRG surgeon will make sure that you are given clear and easy to understand advice at the time of explaining any potential complications or issues with you and how these scenarios can be avoided.
    Absolutely not. The ICL is carefully positioned behind the coloured part of the eye (the iris) by an experienced SRG surgeon, where it will stay invisible to you as well as your observers. Only your eye surgeon will be able to confirm if there any vision correction has taken place.
    Our premium ICL is designed for maximum comfort and to be completely unobtrusive once it is put in place. The lens will retain its position by itself, and it refrains from interacting with any of the eye’s structures.
    Even though the ICL is meant to remain in place permanently, but if the need arises, our SRG ophthalmologist can remove the implant.
    The premium ICL we use at SRG Eye Hospital is made up of Collamer®. Collamer is an extremely biocompatible advanced lens material which is comprised of a tiny amount of purified collagen. Collamer has a property of not causing any reaction inside the eye, as well as, includes an ultraviolet blocker that provides proper protection to the eye. Collamer is a proprietary material of STAAR Surgical Company.
    The ICL implant is designed to be permanent in nature; however, if in the future, due to any situation or condition your vision changes dramatically after receiving the lens implant, your Eye Surgeon can remove and replace it with a suitable lens.
    The ICL implant does not treat presbyopia which is the expected average loss of your eyes’ capability to see things clearly up close that changes with ageing and becomes easily noticeable in your early to mid-40s. Hence some people may need reading glasses.
