What is ICL/IPCL?

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) and IPCL (Implantable Phakic Contact Lens) are advanced, minimally invasive vision correction options designed for individuals with high refractive errors or thin corneas. These lenses are implanted inside the eye without removing corneal tissue, offering a reversible and biocompatible solution for achieving clear vision.

Difference Between ICL and IPCL

FeatureICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)IPCL (Implantable Phakic Contact Lens)
MaterialMade from biocompatible Collamer®Made from acrylic material
FDA ApprovalYesNot FDA-approved but widely used
UV ProtectionProvides UV protectionUsually does not offer UV protection
CostHigherMore cost-effective
Suitable ForHigh myopia and astigmatismPatients unsuitable for laser procedures
Implant LocationBehind the iris, in front of the natural lensSame as ICL
Procedure Time20–30 minutes20–30 minutes
ReversibilityYesYes

Why is ICL Surgery the Only Option for Me?

ICL is the ideal solution if you:

  • Have high refractive errors beyond the safe limits for LASIK.
  • Have thin corneas, making LASIK or PRK unsuitable.
  • Require long-term, stable vision correction.
  • Cannot tolerate or get poor results with contact lenses.
  • Prefer a reversible, minimally invasive procedure.

Benefits of ICL

Superior vision quality without corneal tissue removal.

Suitable for those ineligible for LASIK/PRK due to high prescriptions or thin corneas.

Minimally invasive with quick recovery times.

Reversible and adjustable — lenses can be removed or replaced if necessary

UV protection (for ICL lenses)

High patient satisfaction with long-term stability.

Conditions Treated with RLE

Genetic predisposition to high refractive errors

Corneal thickness limitations that rule out laser surgeries

Lifestyle factors requiring stable, long-term vision correction

Intolerance to contact lenses

Types of Cataracts

Types of Surgeries

FDA

approved lens made from biocompatible Collamer®, ideal for correcting myopia and astigmatism. It provides UV protection and is implanted behind the iris, in front of the natural lens.

IPCL

A cost-effective alternative to ICL, the IPCL is a phakic intraocular lens implanted in the same position, providing high-quality vision correction, especially for patients unsuitable for laser surgeries.
