ICL Surgery at LJ Eye Institute, Patiala
Clear vision is something most of us take for granted—until glasses or contact lenses become an everyday necessity. While LASIK has long been the go-to option for vision correction, not everyone is a suitable candidate. For patients with high myopia, thin corneas, or chronic dry eye, ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery offers a safe and highly effective alternative. At LJ Eye Institute, Patiala, expert surgeons perform this advanced procedure with precision, helping patients achieve lasting freedom from glasses.
What Is ICL Surgery?
ICL surgery involves implanting a thin, soft, and biocompatible lens inside the eye, between the iris (the colored part) and the natural lens. Unlike LASIK, the cornea is not reshaped, making ICL ideal for patients who are unsuitable for laser surgery. The lens works much like a permanent contact lens—but without the inconvenience of daily removal, cleaning, or replacement.
Who Can Benefit from ICL?
Specialists at LJ Eye Institute, Patiala, may recommend ICL for patients who:
- Have moderate to high myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism.
- Are not eligible for LASIK due to thin or irregular corneas.
- Experience chronic dry eyes, making LASIK unsuitable.
- Want a reversible vision correction option.
- Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery time.
