85.2KPhakic ICL vs LASIK for High Myopia: Which is better?
How Are People with -10.00 to -18.00 Diopters of Myopia Different from Those with Mild Myopia? In a normal eye, the axial length is approximately 23–24 mm. In individuals with high myopia, the eyeball becomes abnormally elongated, sometimes exceeding 26 mm or even 30 mm. This excessive axial elongation causes thinning of the retinal and […]
Safety Profile of Phakic ICL Surgery Through Long-Term Clinical Studies
The Structural Technology Behind EVO/EVO+ ICL Lenses Before 2016, long-term studies of the Visian ICL V4 lens model showed that after a 10-year follow-up period, researchers observed a significant incidence of secondary cataract formation among highly myopic patients, with 18.3% of eyes requiring phacoemulsification surgery to remove the opacified crystalline lens. At the same time, […]
How to Distinguish EVO Visian ICL and IPCL Lenses
Overview of Phakic Surgery High myopia, severe astigmatism, or thin corneas are conditions that are often unsuitable for laser vision correction procedures such as Femto LASIK or ReLEx SMILE. In these situations, Phakic IOL (Phakic Intraocular Lens) surgery is considered an effective alternative due to its ability to preserve the cornea and maintain long-term visual […]
ICL Curvature and Its Interaction with Ocular Structures
Overview In Phakic ICL surgery, one of the factors that determines long-term safety and visual quality lies in extremely small parameters: ICL curvature, lens size, ICL vault, and the way the lens interacts with ocular structures. What Is ICL Curvature? ICL curvature can be understood as the three-dimensional curved shape of the lens once implanted […]

Precautions After Phakic ICL Myopia Surgery
Phakic ICL myopia surgery is a refractive correction method that does not involve cutting the cornea. The surgeon places a thin lens inside the eye, positioned between the iris and the natural lens. This procedure is also widely known as EVO ICL.
Can –18.00 diopter myopia be treated with Phakic ICL?
Understanding –18.00 Diopter Myopia in Clinical Practice Myopia of –18.00 diopters is classified as very high to extreme myopia. At this level, the axial length of the eyeball is typically longer than normal, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. Patients usually rely entirely on spectacles or […]
Why is Phakic ICL 2026 highly regarded by specialists?
Introduction to Phakic ICL 2026 Phakic ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a refractive error treatment method that involves placing a biocompatible soft intraocular lens inside the eye, positioned between the iris and the natural crystalline lens, rather than reshaping the corneal surface as in LASIK or SMILE. Although it is not a new technique – […]
What Is Collamer Material? Its Applications in Phakic ICL
What Is Collamer and What Is It Made Of? Collamer is a proprietary material used in Phakic ICL, composed of a combination of purified collagen and a biocompatible copolymer, along with water and an ultraviolet light–absorbing agent. The presence of natural collagen in collamer gives this material a very high level of biocompatibility with human […]
