ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is a permanent vision correction procedure in which a small, soft lens is surgically placed inside the eye — behind the iris and in front of the natural lens — to correct myopia and astigmatism. Unlike laser procedures such as LASIK or SMILE, ICL leaves the cornea completely untouched, making it an ideal choice for patients with high prescriptions, thin or irregular corneas, or significant dry eyes. The lens is custom-manufactured to each patient's measurements and is implanted through a tiny self-sealing incision in an outpatient procedure lasting about 15 minutes per eye. Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within 24 to 48 hours, and the lens is designed to remain in place permanently. ICL is available in a standard spherical version for myopia alone, and in a toric version that also corrects astigmatism.
