Frequently asked questions

Exactly where is the ICL placed in the eye?

ICL is placed behind the iris and in front of the eye’s natural lens so it’s undetectable to any observers. Only a trained doctor using special instrumentation will be able to tell that vision correction has taken place.

What is the history of the ICL?

Over the past 20 years, ICLs have been implanted in over 1,000,000 eyes worldwide.

Why is Collamer such a great material for the eye?

The Collamer lens is soft, pliable, biocompatible and offers UV protection.

Are patients happy with the ICL?

Of patients having the ICL procedure, 99.4% would choose to have the ICL procedure again.¹

Can the ICL be removed in the future if my prescription changes?

Yes! The ICL offers treatment flexibility.
If your vision changes dramatically, the lens can be removed.

How long can ICL stay in the eye?

The ICL is designed to stay in your eye permanently but can be removed to keep pace with advancing technology and your future needs.

Does the procedure remove tissue from my eye?

No, the ICL is inserted gently in the eye with no removal of corneal tissue.

Can the ICL dry out or get dirty like a contact lens?

The ICL avoids such problems experienced with traditional contact lenses. It is designed to remain in place inside the eye, without maintenance. A routine, annual visit with an eye doctor is recommended to make sure everything remains safe and effective.

How the ICL Corrects Nearsightedness and Astigmatism.

ICL functions to focus light properly back onto the retina in a similar way glasses and contact lenses do. The ICL is placed into a space of the eye directly behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and in front of the natural lens. In this position, the ICL functions to focus light properly onto the retina helping create clear distance vision.

*ICL lenses intended to treat farsightedness are not EVO and require two additional tiny openings in the coloured portion of your eyes to ensure there is proper fluid flow after the ICL is implanted.#
