ICL Surgery in Kerala — Glasses-Free Vision for High Power

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.

What is ICL surgery?

Femto-LASIK, also known as bladeless LASIK, is an advanced laser vision correction procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a surgical blade. This allows the surgeon to create a highly precise, customized flap before the excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

At Abate Eye Hospital, Femto-LASIK offers a precise, blade-free approach to reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is designed for comfort, accuracy, and quick recovery, with your eye surgeon first evaluating your eyes to determine whether Femto-LASIK is the right vision correction option for you.

Benefits of ICL over LASIK

Femto-LASIK may be suitable for adults with stable vision who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It can be used to correct common refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism, depending on your eye health and prescription.

Femto-LASIK is particularly suited to patients who prefer a blade-free approach to LASIK. Instead of using a mechanical blade, a femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap with precise control, which allows your surgeon to customize the treatment according to your individual eye measurements.

The best way to know if Femto-LASIK is right for you is through a detailed eye examination. Your surgeon will assess your corneal thickness, eye health, prescription stability, and other factors before recommending the most appropriate vision correction procedure.

How ICL surgery is performed

Femto-LASIK is a blade-free laser vision correction procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap and an excimer laser to reshape the cornea.

Preparing Your Eye

Preparing Your Eye

Anaesthetic drops numb the eye and keep you comfortable during the procedure.

Creating the Corneal Flap

Creating the Corneal Flap

A femtosecond laser creates a thin, precisely controlled corneal flap without a blade.

Reshaping the Cornea

Reshaping the Cornea

An excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct your refractive error.

Replacing the Flap

Replacing the Flap

The surgeon gently repositions the flap over the treated cornea.

Healing and Recovery

Healing & Recovery

Vision typically improves quickly, with follow-up care to support recovery.

Who is a candidate for ICL?

You may be a good candidate for ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) if you:

✓ Are 18 years or older
✓ Have myopia (short-sightedness), with or without astigmatism
✓ Have had a stable prescription
✓ Have thin corneas or a high prescription that makes laser procedures like SMILE Pro or LASIK unsuitable
✓ Have enough space inside the eye for the lens, confirmed through a detailed eye evaluation
✓ Have no eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataract or recurrent eye inflammation
✓ Are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of surgery

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.
