ICL Surgery
Advanced Vision Correction
for High Power Eyes
What is ICL Surgery?
ICL surgery is a vision correction procedure where a special lens is placed inside the eye to correct refractive errors such as Hyperopia, Myopia and Astigmatism. Unlike laser surgeries, the natural cornea is not reshaped. The lens is positioned behind the coloured part of the eye (iris) and in front of the natural lens, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina and deliver sharp, clear vision.
Vision Issues You Might Notice
- Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
- Very high spectacle or contact lens power
- Eye strain or headaches
- Poor night vision
- Ineligibility for LASIK or PRK
- Dependence on thick glasses
When to See a Doctor?
If your vision problems limit daily activities or you’ve been told you are not suitable for laser surgery, an eye evaluation is recommended. Early consultation helps identify the safest and most effective correction method.
