Implantable Collamer Lens
ICLs are a type of implantable lens that is surgically placed within the eye to correct vision. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which sit on the surface of the eye, ICLs are inserted inside the eye, between the natural lens and the iris. This positioning allows them to work in harmony with your eye's natural focusing system.
How Do ICLs Work?
ICLs correct vision by altering how light is focused on the retina. They effectively compensate for vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism by changing the path of light entering the eye. This results in clear, sharp vision without the need for external corrective lenses.
The Benefits of ICL:
- Sharper Vision: ICLs provide high-definition vision, often surpassing the clarity achieved with glasses or traditional contact lenses.
- Freedom from Glasses and Contacts: ICLs offer a permanent vision correction solution, freeing you from the daily hassle of cleaning, inserting, or removing contact lenses and the inconvenience of wearing glasses.
- Stable and Predictable: The correction provided by ICLs is stable and predictable, offering consistent vision quality over time.
- Minimal Maintenance: Unlike traditional contact lenses, ICLs require minimal maintenance. You won't need to worry about cleaning, replacing, or losing lenses.
- Versatility: ICLs can correct a wide range of refractive errors, including high myopia and astigmatism, making them suitable for many individuals.
