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.
Who is a Good Candidate for IPCL?
Is IPCL the right fit for you?
If you’re over 21, have stable vision, and have either a high prescription or thin corneas that rule out laser options, IPCL could be your perfect match.
