Not Eligible for Laser Vision Correction?

Choose Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery

Advanced Vision Correction at Mr. Opticals

Many people choose laser eye surgery to remove glasses. Procedures like:

• LASIK

• PRK

• SMILE

reshape the cornea to correct vision.

However, not everyone is eligible for laser vision correction.

If you have been told you are not suitable for LASIK or PRK, don’t worry. Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery could be the right solution for you.

What Is Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery?

Implantable Contact Lens surgery is a modern refractive procedure where a soft, biocompatible lens is placed inside the eye.

The lens is positioned:

• Between the iris (colored part of the eye)

• And the natural crystalline lens

Unlike laser surgery, ICL does not reshape the cornea.

Instead, it works with your natural lens to focus light correctly on the retina, providing clear and sharp vision.

What Can ICL Correct?

ICL surgery can effectively correct:

• ✔ Moderate to severe myopia (near-sightedness)

• ✔ Moderate hyperopia (far-sightedness)

• ✔ Astigmatism (cylindrical power)

• ✔ High prescriptions above -8 to -10 diopters

Patients often notice immediate improvement in vision after surgery.

Who Is Suitable for ICL Surgery?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have moderate to severe myopia

• Have moderate hyperopia

• Have a stable prescription for 6–12 months

• Have thin or irregular corneas

• Have large pupils

• Have dry eyes

• Have conditions like keratoconus

• Are not eligible for LASIK or PRK

ICL is especially helpful for people who were rejected for laser surgery due to high power or corneal issues.

Who Is NOT Suitable for ICL Surgery?

ICL may not be recommended if you:

• Have a history of serious eye diseases like glaucoma

• Have iris infections or corneal endothelial problems

• Do not have adequate anterior chamber depth

• Have low endothelial cell count

• Are presbyopic (age-related near vision loss)

• Have uncontrolled dry eye or blepharitis

• Are pregnant or nursing

A detailed eye examination is necessary before deciding.

Benefits of ICL Surgery

• ✔ No corneal reshaping

• ✔ Reversible procedure

• ✔ Suitable for high prescriptions

• ✔ Quick recovery

• ✔ Sharp and high-quality vision

• ✔ Minimal dry eye risk compared to LASIK

ICL is often considered a safer alternative for patients with thin corneas.
