ICL Surgery Explained: Correcting Vision Beyond Glasses and Contacts.
At Netram Eye Foundation, we understand the frustration of living with vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Glasses and contact lenses provide a temporary solution, but the prospect of laser eye surgery may make you uneasy.
However, another excellent option that can permanently correct your vision while preserving the health of your eyes’ health is Intraocular Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery. ICL is an advanced form of refractive surgery that places a collamer lens inside your eye to improve focus and provide crisp, clear vision.
Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL leaves the cornea untouched. Learn more about how ICL surgery works, its benefits, and whether you may be a good candidate for this vision correction procedure with Netram Eye Foundation.
Who is a candidate for ICL surgery?
ICL surgery may be an option for you if you have:
- Nearsightedness or myopia between -3.0 to -20 diopters
- Farsightedness or hyperopia between +3.0 to +10 diopters
- Astigmatism between 1 to 4 diopters
- Trouble wearing contact lenses or do not want LASIK surgery
- Stable vision for at least 1 year

ICL surgery has several benefits:
- It provides very good visual acuity and quality of vision
- It corrects higher degrees of nearsightedness than LASIK can safely treat
- It preserves the corneal tissue since there are no cuts or reshaping done
- It provides good night vision and depth perception
- It is a reversible procedure since the ICL lens can be removed if needed
The ICL surgery procedure:
ICL surgery is a relatively quick outpatient procedure taking 15-20 minutes per eye. It involves these steps:
- Numbing eye drops are applied so you do not feel any pain.
- A tiny incision is made to insert the ICL lens between the iris and the natural lens into the eye.
- The collamer lens unfolds like a pancake in the eye.
- The incision is closed with self-dissolving stitches.
- Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops are prescribed for recovery.
VISION benefits after ICL surgery:
Most patients experience improved vision within a day after ICL surgery at Netram Eye Foundation. You can return to normal activities within 2-3 days. Some key benefits include:
- Vision improvement and sharpness, especially for activities like driving at night
- Reduced dependency on glasses or contacts
- Ability to see clearly underwater and engage in water sports
- Improved work performance and ability to see small details clearly
