PHAKIC ICL – A SOLUTION FOR HIGH MYOPIA AND THIN CORNEAS

Not everyone with myopia is suitable for laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK or SMILE. Especially for those with high myopia, thin corneas, or those who have previously been told they are “not eligible for laser surgery,” Phakic ICL is a solution well worth considering.

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an ultra-thin, flexible, and transparent intraocular lens made from Collamer, a material with high biocompatibility with the eye. Instead of reshaping the cornea, the ICL is discreetly implanted inside the eye, positioned behind the iris and in front of the natural crystalline lens, allowing refractive errors to be corrected without altering the corneal structure.

The outstanding advantage of Phakic ICL lies in its ability to deliver sharp, clear vision for people with high degrees of myopia, even in cases where laser procedures are no longer considered a safe option. The procedure is quick, the ICL is invisible from the outside, and it can be removed if necessary, offering long-term flexibility for the eyes.

More importantly, Phakic ICL opens the door to restored vision for many people who once believed they would have to “live with glasses” for the rest of their lives. Of course, to ensure safety, patients should undergo a comprehensive eye examination and receive thorough consultation from an ophthalmologist before making a decision.
