Description

The Implantable Collamer Lens; Another Option for Your Patient. The ICL is a new intraocular lens that can be implanted into the eye without removing the natural lens. This lens is an excellent choice for younger patients (ideally between ages 21-45) who are not presbyopic (i.e. do not need reading glasses) and need or desire an alternative to laser vision correction surgery. The ICL is implanted through a microscopic incision that requires no stitches and does not alter the natural shape or health of the cornea. It can remain inside the eye indefinitely. If the patient is unhappy with their vision, or if the vision changes significantly, the lens can be removed.
