ICL/Artiflec lens implantation surgery

Overview

With so many options and factors surrounding vision correction, determining what is actually the best option for you can be challenging. While LASIK is the most well-known procedure for enhancing vision through surgery, it may or may not be right for you and your eyes.

ICL surgery, which effectively provides a lens implant as a no-maintenance and permanent approach to enhancing your eyesight, has grown in popularity over the years.

A Visian ICL (also known as an Implantable Collamer® Lens) is implanted just below the iris, between the eye's normal lens and colored iris, during ICL surgery. The goal of this surgery is to change the focusing ability of the eye and eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. In most cases, an ICL surgery is used to cure moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness) and/or astigmatism.
