ICL surgery is a vision correction procedure to treat nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. This is a thin foldable artificial lens that is surgically implanted inside the eye. It is carefully placed between the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the natural lens. Unlike laser refractive surgery (LASIK and PRK) that treats the cornea on the outside of the eye, ICL surgery is intraocular surgery and therefore is performed in the sterile operating room to ensure maximum safety. Because the lens is placed inside the eye, it does not require daily replacement or cleaning like a regular contact lens.

ICL surgery has the advantage of delivering clear vision with a quick recovery and minimal discomfort. The procedure itself is done with plenty of numbing medicine to ensure patients are comfortable the whole time
