Phakic ICL – A Breakthrough in Vision Correction Without Corneal Damage
Technology from the USA – Developed by STAAR Surgical, delivering superior visual solutions for individuals with myopia and astigmatism
Are you looking for a sharp vision solution without relying on glasses or contact lenses every day? Phakic ICL represents a major advancement in the treatment of refractive errors, especially for those with moderate to high myopia ranging from -3.0 diopters (D) to -18.0 D, and astigmatism from 0.5 D to 6.0 D.
Phakic ICL is a specially designed Collamer® lens that is implanted inside the eye, positioned between the iris and the natural crystalline lens. Unlike laser-based procedures such as LASIK or PRK—which reshape the cornea—Phakic ICL leaves the corneal tissue untouched and unaltered, preserving the eye’s natural structure. This lens is manufactured by STAAR Surgical (USA), a global leader in phakic intraocular lens technology, with over 3 million lenses distributed worldwide.
One of the most outstanding advantages of Phakic ICL is that it does not cause dry eyes, making it an ideal option for individuals with thin corneas or those who are not eligible for laser eye surgery. The lens is also removable if needed, offering long-term flexibility and peace of mind. Additionally, the proprietary Collamer® material naturally filters UV rays, protecting the eyes from harmful light in everyday life.
The procedure is quick—just 20–30 minutes—painless, and allows for near-immediate visual recovery after surgery. According to surveys, 99.4% of patients reported that they would choose Phakic ICL again.
Discover Phakic ICL with a specialized ophthalmologist—and begin your journey toward clear, safe, and lasting vision with breakthrough technology from STAAR Surgical.
