ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an advanced vision correction option for people with moderate to high myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism—especially those who may not be eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas or dry eyes.
Unlike regular contact lenses that sit on the surface of the eye, an ICL is implanted inside the eye—between the iris and your natural lens—into a space called the posterior chamber. This makes it part of a group called phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs), meaning your natural lens remains untouched.
