ICL – Implantable Collamer Lens 

For patients who have a strong glasses prescription or thin corneas, or for those who prefer a non-laser vision correction, the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) may be a good option for you.  The Visian ICL does not replace the eye’s natural lens. Instead, the ICL is placed between the iris and the natural lens to allow the ICL lens to work with your natural optical system and allow light to better focus on the retina. The ICL supplements the natural lens in the eye as if it were a prescription contact lens inside the eye and is sometimes referred to as an implantable contact lens. This procedure is performed in a surgery center and the eyes are treated approximately one week apart. We offer a complimentary evaluation to see if you are a good candidate.
