The Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery corrects your vision with the help of EVO ICL (an implantable lens), and without the need of any lens replacement or removal of your corneal tissue. In fact, this surgery includes placing the ICL permanently on the existing natural lens of your eye. Besides treating common refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, ICL is also a great option for improving your day and night vision. It also eliminates the need for wearing contact lenses or glasses.
The other name for ICL is Implantable Collamer Lens as it is made of an advanced soft material called Biocompatible Collamer Material which is suitable for your eye. It is a painless procedure and requires less than 20 to 30 minutes to complete. After getting an ICL surgery, you can immediately experience an improvement in your vision. It gives you a sharper, more acute and vivid vision which cannot be achieved even by contact lenses or glasses.

Book an AppointmentBefore starting with the ICL surgery, our eye surgeon will first prepare a prescription of the measurements of your vision. Our ophthalmologist will perform a detailed examination of your eyes during the initial consultation, and also conduct corneal mapping, and calculation of the lens and refraction. All these measurements are used to determine the power of your lens which is to be implanted.
Another instruction as mostly recommended by our expert ophthalmologists is that you need to stop wearing contact lenses or glasses, whatever you use, 2 weeks from before your appointment. This is to make sure that your eyes are in the best condition for diagnosis and tests.
At first, our ICL surgeon dilates or enlarges your pupil with the help of an eye drop. Next the surgeon makes your eyes numb by applying drops. The surgeon then makes a small incision in your eye. Finally, the surgeon places the EVO ICL over the natural lens of your eye.
The small incision will take only 1 to 2 weeks from after your surgery to heal. In fact, most of the patients report that they can resume their regular activities just within a few days’ time from after the surgery. You might, however, experience minimal discomfort overnight, or might also face a short post-operative drop treatment period. Make sure to attend the follow-up appointments as instructed by our surgeon to evaluate the effective progression of your treatment.

This might include from checking your corneal thickness or tear production to examining your refractive error stability, pupil size, or curvature of your eye.
