Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL) implant in Delhi for The Correction of High Myopia, High Hyperopia and Astigmatism IPCL / ICL Implant in Delhi – If your glass power is too high, or if your corneas are too thin, then you are probably unsuitable for LASIK Treatment or even EPI-LASIK. Dr. Rajeev Sudan, offers you a safe and effective alternative that is  IPCL/ ICL Implant in Delhi. ICL stands for “Implantable Collamer Lens”. They are also very commonly referred to as Phakic IOL’s. They are micro thin implants used for vision correction for people who are not suitable for LASIK procedures. Also can be helpful for patients of keratoconus. It is a very effective way of removing spectacles in people with very high powers.

Advantages of ICL/IPCL

1. Enhanced Visual Clarity

ICL/IPCL can dramatically improve visual acuity, often exceeding the quality achieved with glasses or contact lenses.

2. Permanent Solution

Once implanted, ICL/IPCL lenses provide a long-term vision correction solution, reducing the need for regular eye check-ups.

3. No Dry Eyes

Unlike contact lenses, ICL/IPCL doesn’t lead to dry eyes, offering superior comfort.

4. UV Protection

Some ICL/IPCL lenses offer UV protection, safeguarding your eyes from harmful rays.

Advantages of ICL/IPCL

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)

ICL involves placing an ultra-thin lens inside the eye, just in front of your natural lens, to correct vision problems like nearsightedness or astigmatism.It works similarly to a contact lens, but unlike contact lenses that you wear and remove daily, the ICL stays inside your eye permanently.Because it doesn’t move around and sits securely in place, the vision quality with ICL is often better than with contact lenses—especially for correcting both cylindrical and spherical errors.

The implant surgery is done on an out-patient basis and takes 20 minutes to perform. The implant generally has very few side effects and is usually without complication. Severe complications occur in less than 1 percent of patients. However, as with any surgery, there are risks. Most are treatable. Also the procedure is reversible as the lens can be surgically removed.
ICL gives high definition vision and does not require creating corneal flap and corneal tissue removal as in LASIK, SMILE & other laser spectacle removal procedures. It also does not cause any corneal dryness as seen in LASIK, SMILE & others.

There are two types – toric that corrects cylindrical as well as spherical powers and spherical where in only spherical power is corrected Very high corrections up to -20.00D and +8.00D along with 6.00D of Astigmatism can be corrected.

Phakic IOL (IPCL / ICL) Surgery in Delhi

Q. Am I a candidate for the Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL)?
A. Yes, if you have nearsightedness (high myopia), and / or astigmatism and no other eye disease.

​Q. What are the advantages of the Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL)?
A. Lens is small, foldable, and injected through a tiny, pain free, self healing incision in your eye. Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL) provides highly predictable outcomes, excellent quality of vision and can be removed if necessary.

Q. What if my vision changes?
A. Though unlikely, if during your annual eye exam a major change in your vision is observed, the Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL) can be removed or replaced. With the Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL) you can still wear glasses or contact lenses if necessary. The lens does not treat presbyopia or eliminate the need for reading glasses due to age. Now Presbyopic Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL) are also available, which can correct presbyopia along with myopia or hyperopia, thus reducing dependency on reading glasses also

Q. What is the long-term experience with Phakic IOL (IPCL/ICL)?
A. The ICL has been available internationally for over 12 years. More than 65,000 lenses have been implanted since then. The ICL thus provides a high quality of vision, and is a highly precise and predictable treatment providing exceptional patient satisfaction for patients unsuitable for lasik.
