ICL Surgery: A Permanent Solution for High Myopia and Hyperopia
For patients with high prescriptions who are not suitable for LASIK or SMILE, ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery offers a safe and effective alternative. At Kaşkaloğlu Eye Hospital, we have been successfully performing ICL surgery for many years, exclusively using original STAAR lenses manufactured in Switzerland.
What is ICL?
ICL is a special lens implanted inside the eye:
- It is placed in front of your natural lens without removing any tissue.
- It is invisible and not felt by the patient.
- It can be removed or replaced if necessary.
Who is Suitable for ICL?
- High myopia (typically above -8.00D)
- High hyperopia (up to +10.00D)
- Patients unsuitable for laser surgery due to thin or irregular corneas
- Patients who cannot tolerate glasses or contact lenses
Advantages of ICL Surgery
- Corrects very high prescriptions
- Preserves the cornea – no tissue removal
- Reversible treatment option
- Excellent visual quality, especially night vision
- Quick procedure and short recovery time
