ICL / IPCL Surgery in Bangalore
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) and IPCL (Implantable Phakic Collamer Lens) are advanced refractive eye surgeries designed to treat a wide range of vision issues, particularly for people with moderate to high degrees of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism. These lenses are an excellent alternative to traditional glasses or contact lenses, offering a permanent solution for people who are not candidates for LASIK surgery.
At Kiran Eye Hospital, we specialize in ICL / IPCL surgery using the latest technology to ensure the highest level of precision and safety for our patients. This procedure provides clear, natural vision and is an ideal solution for those seeking to improve their quality of life without the need for corrective eyewear.

What is ICL / IPCL Surgery?
ICL / IPCL surgery involves the implantation of a synthetic lens inside the eye, which works alongside the natural lens to correct refractive errors. Unlike traditional cataract surgery, where the natural lens is replaced, ICL/IPCL surgery preserves the natural lens of the eye, making it a reversible procedure. These lenses are made of a biocompatible material called Collamer, which integrates seamlessly with the eye and offers superior optical quality.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
The ICL is a type of phakic intraocular lens (IOL) that is implanted into the eye without removing the natural lens. It is mainly used to treat high degrees of myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. ICL is a great option for patients who are not suitable candidates for LASIK due to high refractive errors or thin corneas.
IPCL (Implantable Phakic Collamer Lens)
The IPCL is similar to ICL but is a newer technology with enhanced features. IPCL provides additional treatment for higher degrees of hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia, and astigmatism. The procedure involves inserting the lens between the cornea and the eye’s natural lens to correct refractive errors without altering the natural lens.
Causes for ICL / IPCL Surgery
ICL / IPCL surgery is often recommended for individuals with the following conditions:
High Myopia (Nearsightedness): When glasses or contact lenses are no longer effective or convenient.
Astigmatism: When corneal irregularities cause blurry vision that cannot be corrected by traditional refractive surgery.
Thin Corneas: LASIK is not suitable for people with thin corneas, making ICL/IPCL a great alternative.
Large Pupils: People with large pupils may experience glare or halos with LASIK, which makes ICL/IPCL a better option.
Procedure for ICL / IPCL Surgery
ICL / IPCL surgery is a relatively quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. Here’s what you can expect:
Pre-surgery Consultation
Before the surgery, your ophthalmologist will conduct a thorough eye examination to assess your suitability for the procedure. This includes measuring your eye’s shape, thickness, and overall health, as well as determining the degree of refractive error. A series of tests will help ensure that ICL/IPCL surgery is the best option for you.
The Surgery
The surgery takes approximately 20-30 minutes per eye. The following steps are involved:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to numb the eye, ensuring you remain comfortable during the procedure.
Tiny Incisions: The surgeon makes tiny incisions on the cornea to insert the lens.
Lens Implantation: The ICL or IPCL is carefully inserted into the eye, positioning it in front of the natural lens.
Closing the Incision: No stitches are required, as the incisions are self-healing.
The entire procedure is painless, and most patients can return home the same day.
