Want freedom from glasses but aren’t suitable for LASIK or SMILE? ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) may be an option for selected patients. At Patna Eye Centre, we provide personalized evaluation and guidance for patients considering implantable lens-based vision correction.
Unlike laser procedures that reshape the cornea, an ICL is a specially designed lens placed inside the eye to correct refractive errors while preserving the natural cornea.
ICL may be considered for suitable patients with:
High myopia (short-sightedness)
Certain cases of astigmatism
Stable spectacle prescription
Adequate eye health and appropriate eye anatomy
Unsuitability or preference against corneal laser procedures
No corneal tissue removal
Can provide high-quality vision correction
Suitable for certain higher prescriptions
Natural corneal structure is preserved
Removable or replaceable when medically appropriate
May reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses
Before recommending ICL surgery, our ophthalmologist performs a detailed assessment of your:
Eye health
Refractive error
Corneal condition
Anterior chamber and eye anatomy
Overall suitability for an implantable lens
The right vision-correction procedure depends on your individual eyes. ICL is not suitable for everyone, so a comprehensive examination is essential before making a decision.
At Patna Eye Centre, Dr. Sheeraz Hassan provides personalized guidance to help eligible patients understand their vision-correction options.
