Marlette ICL Candidate Checklist
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Are 21–45
-
Have stable glasses/contacts
-
Have high myopia
-
Want a permanent but reversible solution

Candidacy & safety
During your evaluation, Dr. Mihlstin will review:
- Prescription stability and overall eye health
- Anterior chamber depth and corneal measurements
- Intraocular pressure and pupil size
- General health considerations and medications
Not candidates may include those with uncontrolled eye disease, active inflammation, or certain anatomic limitations. If ICL isn’t the best fit, we’ll discuss alternatives like LASIK, PRK, or refractive lens exchange.
