ICL surgery is a type of refractive surgery (like LASIK surgery) to correct nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism, to help improve vision and eliminate glasses and contact lenses. In the US, Visian ICL is the only type of ICL lens approved by the FDA for correction of myopia and astigmatism.
ICL lens stands for Intraocular Collamer Lens or Implantable Contact Lens.
Visian ICL lens was approved by the FDA in 2005, and the astigmatism correction version of Toric Visian ICL lens was approved in 2018. By 2019, over 1 million Visian ICL lenses have been implanted worldwide.
In this video, I review the following aspects of ICL surgery:
Mechanisms of action of Visian ICL lens for vision correction;
ICL surgery steps overview;
The differences between ICL surgery and LASIK surgery;
Screening criteria for ICL surgery;
Potential risks of ICL surgery.
