What is Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) and Vision Correction
In cases where laser eye surgery may not be suitable for patients due to high refractive error or thin corneas, the Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) can be a viable alternative.
The ICL is capable of correcting high degrees of myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism. It works by focusing light properly onto the retina, thereby improving vision.
