ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
Advanced Vision Correction Beyond LASIK
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an advanced vision correction procedure designed for people who want freedom from glasses and contact lenses but may not be suitable candidates for LASIK or other laser vision correction procedures. At Premium Eye Care Patiala, we offer state-of-the-art ICL technology to provide clear, sharp, and long-lasting vision.
ICL involves placing a specially designed biocompatible lens inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. Unlike LASIK, the cornea is not reshaped, making ICL an excellent option for patients with high spectacle numbers, thin corneas, or dry eyes.
What is ICL?
ICL stands for Implantable Collamer Lens, a soft, flexible lens that is permanently placed inside the eye to correct refractive errors. The lens works together with your natural eye to focus light properly on the retina, resulting in clear vision.
The procedure is reversible, meaning the lens can be removed or replaced if needed in the future.

Who Can Benefit from ICL?
ICL may be a suitable option if you:
- Are above 21 years of age
- Have a stable vision for at least one year
- Have moderate to high myopia (near-sightedness)
- Have astigmatism
- Have thin corneas and are not suitable for LASIK
- Experience dry eyes that may make laser procedures less suitable
A comprehensive eye examination is required to determine whether ICL is the right choice for you.
Conditions Corrected with ICL
ICL can effectively correct:
- Myopia (Near-sightedness)
- Hyperopia (Far-sightedness) in selected cases
- Astigmatism
- High refractive errors that may not be suitable for laser vision correction
How is the Procedure Performed?
The ICL procedure is quick, safe, and minimally invasive.
- The eye is numbed using anaesthetic drops.
- A tiny incision is made in the eye.
- The foldable ICL lens is gently inserted and positioned behind the iris.
- The incision is usually self-sealing and does not require stitches.
The entire procedure generally takes only a few minutes per eye.
Recovery After ICL
Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within a day or two after surgery. Recovery is generally quick, and patients can usually return to their normal routine within a short period. Regular follow-up visits help ensure proper healing and optimal visual outcomes.
