ICL vision refers to the vision correction achieved through Implantable Collamer® Lens (ICL) surgery. This surgery involves placing a lens implant inside your eye, between your iris and your natural lens, to correct refractive errors. The goal is to eliminate or reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Here's a breakdown:
-
What it is: ICL surgery corrects vision by implanting a special lens inside the eye.
-
Where it goes: The ICL is positioned between the iris (the colored part of your eye) and your natural lens.
-
What it fixes: ICL surgery treats refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
-
The benefit: Reduced or eliminated dependence on glasses or contacts.
In short, ICL vision means having corrected vision thanks to a surgically implanted lens, freeing you from the daily hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
