Implantable Contact Lens

Implantable Contact Lens:

Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL)  are micro-thin lenses placed inside the eye to correct short-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. The procedure can be reversed and can be used to treat a high range of correction needs – beyond what is possible with laser eye surgery.
For those with thin or abnormal corneas, Keratoconus and dry eye, this is an excellent alternative to laser eye surgery. Implantable Collagen (Collamer) Lenses (ICL) have been in regular use at TandonEye Hospital since 2005 , with over 1,000,000 procedures performed worldwide.
