ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) surgery is a vision correction procedure to treat nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism conditions. This contact lens is an artificial lens which is surgically placed inside the eye. It is carefully implanted between the natural lens and the iris, which is the coloured part of the eye.

Unlike most of the laser refractive surgeries (LASIK and PRK) which treat the cornea on the outer portion of the eye, ICL(Implantable Contact Lens) surgery is intraocular surgery hence it is performed inside the sterile operating room to safeguard maximum safety.

As the lens is implanted inside the eye, it does not require daily cleaning or replacement like a regular contact lens.
