Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL)
About Implantable Phakic Contact Lens (IPCL)
IPCL is a premium, reversible alternative to LASIK or PRK — especially beneficial for patients who have thin corneas, dry eyes, or high refractive errors not suitable for laser correction.
How it Works:
- A thin, biocompatible lens is implanted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens.
- The procedure is performed through a micro-incision, typically under topical anesthesia.
- The natural lens remains untouched, preserving accommodation (near vision focusing ability).
Key Features:
- High-definition vision: Offers sharper, clearer vision — even in high prescriptions.
- Reversible & upgradeable: The lens can be removed or replaced if needed in the future.
- No corneal tissue removal: Ideal for people not eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas.
- Stable results: Predictable outcomes with minimal dry eye symptoms post-surgery.
Ideal Candidates for IPCL:
- Adults aged 18–45 with stable vision
- High myopia or hyperopia (beyond LASIK range)
- Thin or irregular corneas
- Patients wanting a non-laser, implantable solution
Recovery & Aftercare:
- Quick recovery, with most returning to routine activities in 2–3 days
- Post-operative eye drops and follow-up visits are essential for best results
- Vision usually improves within the first week
