Lasik + ICL

The ICL is an artificial lens, similar in function to a contact lens and structure to an intraocular lens. The ICL is implanted in front of the eye’s natural lens, in the space behind the iris, so that it is invisible to outside observers and the patient.

Unlike LASIK, which is a surface procedure, and requires removal of a part of the cornea, ICL is an intraocular surgery. The ICL procedure is approved by regulatory authorities for the correction of moderate to severe myopia.

Even though LASIK, laser for removal of spectacles, remains the most popular refractive surgery, ICL is fast gaining popularity with both eye surgeons and patients alike. The reasons for this are many, and well documented in both clinical trials and clinical experience.
