ICL Eye Surgery?

What Is ICL Eye Surgery?

ICL Eye Surgery is a refractive surgery procedure that is used to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The surgery involves the implantation of a lens inside the eye known as an ICL. This surgery also means that there is no need for glasses or contact lenses after the surgery.

Who Is a Candidate for ICL Eye Surgery?

Not everyone is a candidate for ICL eye surgery. You may be a good candidate if you are over 18 years old, have healthy eyes, and have mild to moderate vision problems. Your doctor will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for the surgery.

Someone who is nearsighted, for example, may be a good candidate for ICL surgery because the implant will help to correct the vision problem. However, someone with severe nearsightedness or astigmatism may not be a good candidate for ICL surgery.

Who Is Not Candidate for ICL Eye Surgery?

There are many people who may not be good candidates for ICL eye surgery. These include people who are pregnant, have a history of glaucoma or cataracts, or have other eye problems.
