Discover Sharper Vision with Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL)

For individuals who are not candidates for LASIK or prefer an alternative to spectacles and contacts, Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) offer a transformative solution. ICL is a safe and effective refractive surgery that involves implanting a lens inside the eye to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL works by adding an artificial lens in front of the eye's natural lens. This procedure is particularly beneficial for people with high prescriptions or unusual corneal shapes, making it a viable alternative to traditional vision correction methods.

ICL offers multiple benefits, including a rapid recovery time, minimal discomfort, and the ability to remove or swap the lens if necessary. The lens is designed to be biocompatible by the eye, integrating smoothly with the natural structures of your vision. Many patients experience an immediate improvement in vision, often achieving excellent vision or better. At Eye Center South, our skilled surgeons will work with you to determine if ICL is the best option for your vision needs, leading you through every step of the process for a positive outcome.
