 Things You Must Know Before Getting an Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery


Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery is a vision correction surgery where a special lens is inserted between the natural lens and the iris inside the eye. Since the lens is placed behind the iris, there’s no need for corneal incisions, allowing the cornea to remain intact.


Because no incision is made on the surface, most patients can return to their daily activities just four hours after the surgery. Additionally, the lens can be replaced in the future if vision decreases.



However, everyone’s eye structure—such as eye length, anterior chamber depth, and internal space—differs. If the wrong size or type of lens is inserted, it may lead to pain or complications. That’s why it’s essential to thoroughly measure the eye and carefully select the right lens before undergoing ICL surgery.


Could the Lens Break or Cause Discomfort After ICL Surgery?



In procedures like LASIK or LASEK, if the remaining corneal thickness is too thin, complications such as corneal ectasia may occur. For individuals with conditions like keratoconus, where LASIK or LASEK may not be suitable, ICL surgery can be considered as an alternative.


However, ICL surgery is not always an option for everyone. Factors such as the depth of the anterior chamber and the risk of increased intraocular pressure must be thoroughly evaluated before proceeding. If all conditions are properly checked, the likelihood of complications is significantly reduced.
