Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL)
Introduction
Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL), is also known as Phakic IOL Implantation,
or Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) procedure. It is a type of refractive surgery for correcting various refractive errors
such as severe near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.
Phakic IOLs are clear implantable customised lenses that are surgically placed between the cornea and the iris without removing your natural lens.
Implantable contact lenses function like usual contact lenses to correct refractive errors. The difference is that Phakic IOLs work from the inner side of your eye instead of sitting on the surface of your eye. Thus, it doesn’t need cumbersome daily maintenance of cleaning and removing the contact lenses from your eyes.
Procedure
Step 1
A small incision is made on the peripheral cornea
Step 2
A Phakic intraocular lens is implanted between the iris and natural lens
