What is ICL?
ICL is an implantable corrective lens that is inserted into the eye by an ophthalmologist through a small incision on the cornea (the front clear surface of the eye). The lens is positioned between the iris and the natural lens of the eye where it stays indefinitely. The procedure is performed on an out-patient basis and only takes about fifteen (15) minutes. The ICL is made of Collamer, an advanced lens material. Collamer transmits light and reduces reflections that can interfere with vision, so you see clearly. Made of copolymer and collagen, Collamer is also highly biocompatible. Collamer is the only lens material made with collagen – the best choice for a lens that is going to remain inside your body for a lifetime. And don’t worry! You cannot see the ICL in your eye and neither can anybody else. The ICL offers unparalleled quality of vision, providing excellent contrast. Two unique factors are: 1.) The ICL is made of Collamer, making the lens extremely biocompatible for a lifetime
