The Power of Implantable Phakic Contact Lenses (IPCL)
The Flexible Vision Solution for High Prescriptions and Thin Corneas
The IPCL Procedure
The procedure is as easy as it is effective. Performed under local anaesthetic, the IPCL procedure takes about 15-30 minutes per eye. It’s painless, and your custom-designed lens is carefully placed behind the iris. No need to worry about extensive downtime—just a quick procedure and a path to sharper vision.

Is IPCL the right fit for you?
