ICL Surgery for High Power Glasses at LJ Eye Institute
Struggling with high myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism? Thick glasses or uncomfortable contact lenses may no longer be your only option. At LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, we offer Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery—a safe, reversible, and highly effective vision correction solution for those unsuitable for LASIK.
What is ICL Surgery?
The EVO Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a premium, lens-based alternative to LASIK, designed for patients with:
- High myopia (-8D to -20D)
- Hyperopia (+5D and above)
- Astigmatism (up to -6D)
- Thin corneas (where LASIK isn’t safe)
Unlike laser procedures, ICL does not remove corneal tissue. Instead, a biocompatible Collamer lens is implanted inside the eye, working alongside your natural lens to provide clear, high-definition vision.
Why Choose ICL Over LASIK or PRK?
| Feature | ICL Surgery | LASIK/PRK |
|---|---|---|
| Suitability | Best for high prescriptions & thin corneas | Limited by corneal thickness |
| Reversibility | Lens can be removed/replaced | Permanent corneal alteration |
| Recovery Time | 24–48 hours | 3–7 days |
| UV Protection | Built-in UV blocking | No added protection |
| Dry Eye Risk | Minimal | Higher risk |
ICL is ideal if:
- You have extreme nearsightedness/farsightedness
- Your corneas are too thin for LASIK
- You want a reversible, future-proof solution
