The ICL
For degrees of short sightedness or long sightedness for which lasik is not
suitable, like higher degrees or thin corneas, the ICL brings the ideal
solution. The ICL (implanted contact lens) is a synthetic lens to be implanted over the normal
human lens. It is implanted into the posterior chamber, between the iris and the
eye's own natural lens. The ICL is capable of correcting a wide range of myopia, hyperopia
and astigmatism without the removal of corneal tissue. The ICL is
a small, foldable, injectable lens that is inserted through a tiny, 3 mm
incision that does not require sutures. The ICL provides predictable refractive
outcomes and excellent quality of vision due to its placement inside the eye, as
well as its optical performance. The lens is made of a superior lens material
called Collamer® which provides unparalleled biocompatibility. This lens has
been used since 1993 |
