ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery at Abate Eye Hospital is the ideal solution when your power is too high for LASIK or your cornea is too thin. A soft, invisible lens is placed inside your eye — nothing is removed and the cornea is not reshaped. ICL corrects even very high powers and astigmatism (Toric ICL), is completely reversible, and does not cause the dryness sometimes linked to laser surgery.

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is an advanced vision correction procedure that involves placing a specially designed lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, ICL surgery does not involve reshaping the cornea. Instead, the lens is implanted inside the eye, where it works alongside the natural lens to help focus light correctly on the retina.
At Abate Eye Hospital, ICL surgery offers an alternative for individuals seeking to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses, particularly those who may not be suitable candidates for laser vision correction. The procedure is designed to provide clear vision while preserving the natural corneal structure. Before recommending ICL surgery, our eye specialists conduct a comprehensive eye examination to assess your eye health, prescription, and suitability for the procedure.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery offers several advantages over LASIK for people seeking long-term vision correction. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea using a laser, ICL involves placing a biocompatible lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue. This can make it a suitable alternative for individuals with high refractive errors, thin corneas, or other factors that may make them unsuitable for LASIK, depending on their eye health and suitability.
One of the key benefits of ICL is that it preserves the cornea's natural structure and offers the potential for excellent visual quality. The implanted lens can also be removed or replaced by an eye surgeon if medically necessary, although this requires another surgical procedure. ICL surgery typically offers a relatively quick recovery, helping many patients return to their regular activities within a short period.
At Abate Eye Hospital, our eye specialists carefully evaluate your prescription, corneal thickness, eye health, and individual needs before recommending ICL or LASIK. While ICL may offer important advantages for certain patients, the most appropriate vision correction procedure depends on a comprehensive eye examination and a personalised treatment plan.
ICL surgery is a minimally invasive vision correction procedure in which a biocompatible lens is carefully implanted inside the eye to correct refractive errors. The procedure is performed by an eye surgeon following a detailed evaluation to ensure safety, precision, and suitability.
Numbing eye drops are administered to keep you comfortable during the procedure. The eye is cleaned and prepared for surgery.
The surgeon creates a tiny incision in the cornea to allow the specially designed ICL lens to be inserted into the eye.
The folded lens is carefully inserted through the incision and positioned inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens.
The surgeon ensures that the ICL is correctly positioned for optimal vision correction. The small incision usually heals naturally without stitches.
Follow-up appointments help the surgeon monitor healing and visual outcomes.
You may be a good candidate for ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) if you:
ICL doesn't remove any corneal tissue. A thin, biocompatible lens is placed inside the eye to correct your vision.
The only way to know for sure is a pre-surgery evaluation.
The exact cost depends on your prescription, the lens type required (such as toric ICL for astigmatism) and the care package recommended after your evaluation. After your eligibility test, our counsellors will give you a clear, all-inclusive quote.
At Abate Eye Hospital, ICL costs approximately ₹1,90,000 – ₹2,23,000 for both eyes. The price includes all check-ups, consultations and evaluation tests.
