Our Vision Correction Services
PRK Surgery
PRK is a laser vision correction procedure designed for patients with thin corneas or those who are not suitable for LASIK, offering a flap-free solution ideal for active lifestyles.
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)
Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is an advanced vision correction procedure designed for patients with high myopia or thin corneas who may not be suitable for LASIK or LASEK.
Cataract
A cataract is a condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night
Presbyopia Cataract Surgery
Presbyopia Cataract Surgery corrects both conditions by removing the cloudy lens (cataract) and implanting an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) that restores sharp vision at all distances.
What is ICL Surgery?
ICL Surgery (Implantable Collamer Lens surgery) is a type of vision correction procedure designed to treat nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism—without removing any part of the cornea.
Instead of reshaping the eye like LASIK or SMILE, ICL involves implanting a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens. It works like a permanent contact lens, offering sharp, high-definition vision.
✅ Key Benefits of ICL Surgery:
- Reversible and removable
- Ideal for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes
- UV protection built into the lens
- Excellent night vision outcomes
- Quick recovery with minimal discomfort
ICL is especially popular among patients who are not good candidates for LASIK or SMILE but still want long-term vision correction.
