Phakic ICL

Phakic ICL: общие сведения

Phakic ICL implantation in India is refractive eye surgery in which an implantable collamer lens is placed inside the eye while the natural lens remains in place. It is mainly considered for selected patients with moderate-to-high myopia, including some who are unsuitable for corneal laser surgery. Candidacy depends on eye anatomy and refractive stability rather than prescription strength alone.

Preoperative assessment includes stable refraction, corneal evaluation, anterior-chamber depth, endothelial cell count, pupil assessment, intraocular pressure and a dilated retinal examination. Accurate lens sizing and adequate anterior-segment anatomy are important. The ophthalmologist should compare ICL with laser correction, glasses or contact lenses and explain whether toric correction is required for astigmatism.

Risks include raised intraocular pressure, cataract formation, inflammation, endothelial cell loss, incorrect vault or lens position, infection and rare retinal complications. Sudden severe eye pain, marked redness or rapid loss of vision after surgery requires urgent ophthalmic assessment.

Cost in India depends on one versus both eyes, lens model and toric correction, preoperative diagnostics, surgeon and facility fees, medicines and follow-up. Specialist eye hospitals in India provide refractive surgeons, corneal and anterior-segment imaging, endothelial-cell assessment and retinal support. Medical Help India is a connection platform that can connect international patients with an appropriate ophthalmology healthcare partner to review measurements, assess ICL candidacy and provide an individual treatment estimate.
