How the Procedure Works
A soft lens is placed behind the iris. It improves vision immediately and stays in place long-term without maintenance.

ICL vs. LASIK/PRK — which is right for me?
ICL
- Ideal for higher prescriptions or thin/dry corneas
- Removable; preserves corneal tissue
- Typically fast recovery
LASIK/PRK
- Excellent for many candidates with mild-to-moderate prescriptions
- Permanent corneal reshaping
LASIK: quick recovery; PRK: a bit longer surface healing - We’ll help you compare based on your cornea, lifestyle, and goals.
