ICL cost depends on lens power, eye measurements, and diagnostic findings. A detailed evaluation is required to confirm suitability and lens sizing. Your package tentatively covers
Comprehensive Eye Evaluation
Detailed eye measurements, corneal assessment, retinal examination, and anterior chamber analysis.
Custom ICL Lens Planning
Precise lens sizing based on biometric measurements.
Experienced Surgeon Procedure
Performed by refractive surgeons trained in phakic IOL implantation.
Structured Post-Operative Care
Regular follow-ups to monitor intraocular pressure and lens positioning.
1. Preparation
Numbing drops are applied. A small micro-incision is created at the edge of the cornea.
2. Lens Insertion
The foldable Collamer lens is gently inserted through the small incision and positioned behind the iris.
3. Lens Positioning
The lens unfolds and is carefully aligned. The incision is self-sealing and usually does not require stitches.
If you are above 21 years and have stable high myopia or astigmatism, you may be a candidate for ICL.
How ICL Surgery Works?
ICL adds corrective power to the eye by placing a custom-designed lens inside it. Light entering the eye is properly focused onto the retina, improving clarity without altering corneal structure.
Because no corneal tissue is removed:
- Corneal strength is preserved
- Suitable for thin corneas
- Procedure is reversible if required
Eligibility depends on anterior chamber depth and overall eye health.
Who Should Consider ICL Surgery?
ICL May Be Suitable For:
- High myopia (usually above -6.00 D)
- High astigmatism
- Thin corneas
- Patients unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE
- Those seeking a reversible solution
May Not Be Suitable For:
- Very shallow anterior chamber
- Uncontrolled glaucoma
- Active eye infections
- Certain retinal conditions
Final decision is made after detailed testing.

Complete ICL Surgery Process
STEP 1
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Numbing eye drops are applied to ensure comfort. The eye is cleaned thoroughly, and tiny markings may be placed for precise lens positioning.
5-10 minutes
STEP 2
Micro-Incision Creation
A very small incision (usually 2.8–3 mm) is made at the edge of the cornea to allow insertion of the foldable lens.
1-2 mins
STEP 3
ICL Lens Insertion
The customized Collamer lens is gently inserted through the micro-incision and positioned behind the iris, in front of the natural lens.
5–10 minutes
STEP 4
Lens Positioning & Natural Sealing
The lens is carefully aligned for optimal vision correction. The small incision is self-sealing and typically does not require stitches.

What Should You Expect During ICL?
ICL surgery is performed under numbing eye drops, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. You may experience mild pressure or a sensation of fluid in the eye while the lens is being inserted. Your vision may appear temporarily blurry or bright under the operating microscope light — this is normal.
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes. After surgery, you may notice mild irritation, light sensitivity, or a foreign-body sensation for a day or two. Vision often improves within a few days as the eye settles.
What Will You Feel During ICL?
ICL is performed under numbing drops, so the procedure is generally painless. You may feel mild pressure and see bright lights during surgery. Afterward, temporary blurring, light sensitivity, or mild discomfort can occur and usually improves within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions About ICL
Get answers to the most common questions about ICL surgery
Is ICL safe long-term?
ICL has been used worldwide for many years and is FDA-approved. When proper patient selection and lens sizing are done, it provides stable long-term correction. Regular follow-up is important to monitor eye pressure and lens position.
Can I feel the ICL lens inside my eye?
No. The lens is placed behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. Once positioned correctly, it cannot be seen or felt.
What is the maximum power ICL can correct?
ICL is suitable for moderate to very high myopia and astigmatism, often beyond the safe limits of LASIK or SMILE. Final eligibility depends on eye measurements and anterior chamber depth.
Can ICL cause cataract?
Cataract formation after ICL is uncommon but possible in rare cases. Proper sizing, modern lens design, and regular monitoring significantly reduce this risk.
Can eye pressure increase after ICL?
A temporary rise in eye pressure can occur in some patients, especially in the early post-operative period. This is monitored carefully and treated promptly if needed.
Is ICL reversible?
Yes. One of the major advantages of ICL is that the lens can be removed or exchanged if medically required in the future.
What happens if I develop cataract later in life?
If cataract develops naturally with age, the ICL can be removed during cataract surgery, and a new intraocular lens is implanted.
How soon will I see clearly after ICL?
Many patients notice improved vision within 24–48 hours, though final clarity may stabilize over a few days.
Is ICL better than LASIK or SMILE?
ICL may be preferred for patients with high power, thin corneas, or dry eye concerns. The best option depends on detailed eye evaluation.
Is ICL safe for defense, aviation, or police eligibility?
ICL may be acceptable in certain categories if post-operative vision meets required standards. Always verify current recruitment guidelines.
Will I need glasses again after ICL?
ICL permanently corrects the treated refractive error. However, natural age-related changes like presbyopia (reading glasses after 40) may still occur.
What are the risks of ICL surgery?
Potential risks include infection, inflammation, raised eye pressure, cataract formation, or lens repositioning in rare cases. Proper evaluation and surgeon expertise significantly reduce complications.
