ICL stands for Implantable Collamer Lens.
Understanding ICL
The Implantable Collamer Lens is a type of intraocular lens that's surgically implanted into the eye without removing the eye's natural lens. This makes it a suitable option for correcting refractive errors.
Who is ICL for?
ICL is often considered an excellent choice for individuals experiencing:
- Short-sightedness (myopia)
- Long-sightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
How does ICL Work?
ICL works by being placed inside the eye, in effect, adding an additional lens that corrects vision. It provides an alternative to other refractive surgery options like LASIK.
