What are the risks involved with ICLs?
The implantable contact lenses (ICL) procedure is considered a very safe one, especially when it is performed by someone of Dr. Bindi’s background and expertise. Just like all vision correction procedures, the Implantable Contact Lens procedure involves some degree of risk. However, at Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, we feel we’ve done an excellent job of minimizing complication rates with advanced technology, strict safety and hygiene protocol, and ongoing physician training. To decide if this procedure is right for you, you should weigh the risks and benefits of ICLs and examine what clear vision truly means to you. During your free, no obligation consultation, Dr. Bindi will go over all of the potential side effects and answer any questions you may have. All patients have different levels of risk, based on their unique vision characteristics. Risks of this procedure may be late onset lens opacities, pigment dispersion, and other visual disturbances.
