What is ICL(Lens Implant) Surgery?

ICL surgery is a vision correction procedure that involves implanting a refractive lens inside the eye. It is categorized into two types:

1. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): Inserted behind the iris.
2. Artisan/Artiflex: Inserted in front of the iris.

Unlike other vision correction surgeries that reshape the cornea, ICL surgery does not rely on corneal thickness. This allows for the correction of high myopia, even in patients who are not suitable for LASIK or LASEK.

Advantages and Disadvantages of ICL(Lens Implant)

1. Advantages:
Suitable for high myopia due to the lack of corneal thickness limitations.
Preserves the natural structure of the cornea.

2. Disadvantages:
Potential complications like cataracts or glaucoma.
Higher cost compared to other vision correction surgeries.
Longer surgery time.


Due to these factors, it is crucial to select an experienced surgeon and clinic when considering ICL surgery.
