LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) are two leading options for spectacle independence. LASIK reshapes the cornea using a femtosecond laser, while ICL involves implanting a biocompatible lens inside the eye, preserving the natural lens.
Femto LASIK is a 100% blade-free procedure. A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap, then an excimer laser reshapes the underlying cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. The flap is repositioned, healing naturally. Results are typically excellent within 24 hours.
ICL is ideal for patients with high myopia, thin corneas, or dry eyes who are not LASIK candidates. A biocompatible lens is placed behind the iris, in front of the natural lens. The procedure is reversible and preserves corneal integrity. Vision improvement is immediate.
LASIK is suitable for mild to moderate refractive errors with adequate corneal thickness. ICL is preferred for high prescriptions or thin corneas. A comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including corneal topography, thickness mapping, and dry eye assessment determines the best option for each patient.
