Implantable Contact Lenses
"15 pain free minutes that will change your life": Implanting ICL is considered
an outpatient procedure and takes about 15 minutes. A few hours after the implantable
contact lenses treatment you will be able to leave the clinic and resume most of
your activities.
Advantages of Icl's
Immediate vision improvement
Simplification of life - Unlike traditional contact lenses, there is no daily cleaning
and no concerns with swimming, dust, or other elements that could cause a scratch
or cause a contact lens to fall out. The ICL is gently placed inside the eye, behind
the iris.
Updatable lens - If necessary - The lens can be removed and updated, should vision
change or need arise.
ICL is an excellent option for many who have been told they are "not good candidates
for LASIK." ICL can be great for patients who's corneas are thin, or prescriptions
too strong, to be corrected by laser sculpting methods such as LASIK or PRK. ICL
may be a preferred option for some patients who have "dry eye" (also called ocular
surface disease), or who have concerns about LASIK.
ICL provides high patient satisfaction.
On rare occasion, unexpected things happen, even in the best of hands. When this
happens, we have to work harder, and provide more extensive care, than if things
had gone perfectly. We give you our commitment that we will do exactly that.
We accept full responsibility for everything that we do in our center. This may
seem unusual in an era when many others look to evade responsibility or blame others
for problems.
