What is ICL and IPCL Eye Surgery?

ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) and IPCL (Implantable Phakic Contact Lens) are advanced vision correction procedures where a specially designed lens is implanted inside the eye to correct refractive errors.

Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL/IPCL surgery places an additional lens inside the eye while keeping the natural lens intact.

These procedures can help correct:

High Myopia: Short-sightedness corrected with an implanted lens.

Hyperopia: Far-sightedness solution for selected candidates.

Astigmatism: Improves blurred or distorted vision caused by irregular corneal shape.

The lens is customised according to the patient's eye measurements and prescription to provide clear and stable vision correction.

Who Can Benefit from ICL and IPCL Surgery?

High Spectacle Power: Patients with high refractive errors where laser procedures may not be suitable.

Thin Corneas: Suitable for individuals who are not eligible for LASIK due to inadequate corneal thickness.

Alternative to Laser Surgery: Ideal for patients seeking non-laser vision correction options.

Stable Eye Power: Recommended for individuals with a stable prescription over the past year.

Healthy Eyes: Patients with healthy eyes and no major pre-existing ocular conditions.

A detailed eye examination is required before deciding whether ICL or IPCL is suitable.

ICL and IPCL Eye Surgery Procedure in Kharghar

1. Pre-Surgery Evaluation

A detailed eye examination is performed to check eye power measurements, corneal health, eye structure assessment, lens size calculation, and overall eye health. Based on these measurements, the suitable lens type and size are selected.

2. Lens Implantation Procedure

Local anaesthesia is given to ensure patient comfort. A small opening is made to insert the customised lens. The ICL/IPCL lens is positioned carefully inside the eye behind the iris, while the natural lens remains untouched.

3. Post-Surgery Care

After the procedure, prescribed eye drops support healing. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor recovery, and vision improvement is usually noticed gradually after surgery.
