ICL Implantable Lenses for Vision Correction
A key option for selected refractive errors and patients who may not be suitable for LASIK, assessed through detailed eye measurements.
When are implantable lenses considered?
Some patients may not be suitable for corneal laser correction because of refractive error, corneal characteristics or other factors. Implantable lens options may then be discussed if appropriate.
Assessment
Decision-making requires detailed measurements and examination of the cornea, anterior chamber, natural lens, eye pressure and retina.
Planning
Lens type and follow-up are selected after examination and discussion of benefits, limitations and potential risks.
Why a precise examination matters
Similar visual symptoms can have different causes. Blurred vision may relate to refraction, dry eye, cataract, corneal disease or retinal change. Treatment decisions therefore should not be based on symptoms alone. Examination and appropriate measurements help determine whether the problem requires observation, medication, a procedure or surgery.
Before making a treatment decision
Patients should understand the goal of treatment, alternatives, important limitations, expected recovery and follow-up. Medical conditions, medications and previous eye procedures may affect the choice and timing of treatment. There is no single outcome that applies to every patient.
Follow-up
Follow-up helps assess stability and response to treatment. Severe pain, sudden visual deterioration, increasing redness or new concerning symptoms require prompt medical review. Patients should use prescribed medication as directed and avoid self-medicating the eye.
Preparing for your visit
Bring current glasses, previous reports or scans when available, a medication list and a short history of when symptoms began. These details help guide the assessment and any required testing.
Booking and communication
