ICL / Phakic IOL – Freedom from Glasses for High Powers
At Saluja Eye Care Center, Indore, Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) and Phakic IOLs are a trusted choice for patients unsuitable for LASIK/PRK due to very high numbers or thin corneas.
Who Benefits?
- Young adults (20–40) with high myopia (-6 to -18 D) or hyperopia not ideal for corneal laser.
- Patients with thin corneas, irregular topography, or dry eye concerns.
- Those who want a reversible, additive option without removing natural lens.
How It Works
A micro-thin lens is placed inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. It works with your eye’s optics to focus light precisely on the retina.
Advantages
- High-quality vision, even in high powers.
- Preserves cornea – no tissue removed.
- Reversible – lens can be removed or exchanged if needed.
- Quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
Considerations
- Does not correct presbyopia (reading glasses still needed after 40+).
- Rare but possible risks: cataract formation, raised eye pressure, glare/halos.
- Requires lifelong follow-up to monitor eye health.
