ICL consultation

ICL consultation

An ICL consultation for Implantable contact lenses couldn’t be easier! Our friendly team will guide you through some eye assessments which will take approximately one hour.

Once complete, your specialist will advise you on the best lens size for your eyes.

During your eye assessments, we will need to dilate your pupil with drops to take detailed measurements of your retina and your exact prescription.

Prior to your ICL appointment, we will advise that you do not wear contact lenses for two weeks to ensure your eye is ready for measurements to be taken.

None of these measurements are invasive or uncomfortable and our ophthalmic technician will support you through these assessments.

The eye drops will make your vision blurry so we advise that you have a friend or family member to help transport you home.

Based on your ICL assessments, our specialist will talk with you about proceeding with the treatment and how this treatment can best suit your lifestyle!

ICL treatment

ICL treatment

On the day of your ICL treatment, it’s best not to wear eye makeup or to put drops in your eyes.

Once arriving at our ICL clinic, our friendly nurse will explain what to expect during and after the procedure. Once ready you will be escorted into the procedure room.

A drop of anesthetic is placed on your cornea which also dilates your eyes.

The surgeon will be giving you clear and easy instructions to guide you throughout the procedure while they insert the contact lens implant.

Once the procedure is finished our nurse will discuss our aftercare advice and how to use your new eye drops before your aftercare appointment with your specialist.

Our Implantable contact Lens procedure lasts for two hours from when you arrive and when you return back home.

ICL aftercare

ICL aftercare

For Implantable Contact Lens treatment there is a one-week recovery period where minimal activity is required before attending an aftercare appointment with your specialist.

During the one week recovery period, our team is always here to answer any other questions you may have so that you can live confidently and comfortably following your ICL surgery.

Once you attend an aftercare appointment with the ICL specialist you will be able to begin life without glasses or disposable contact lenses again!

The benefits of implantable contact Lenses for clear, long-term vision!

Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility

Our Implantable lenses are made of biocompatible Collamer – proprietary material used exclusively by STAAR Surgical.

Collamer is a unique material that contains collagen which means the lens is made to naturally harmonize with your eye.

The ICL Collamer technology has unique advantages that make it an ideal material for a vision correction lens, including UV protection and it is easy to implant because it is soft and pliable.

No more dry eyes

No more dry eyes

ICL can be described as additive vision correction. Unlike other procedures, the ICL procedure does not remove corneal tissue, but works in harmony with your natural eyes to provide exceptional quality of vision.

Because the cornea is left intact with no reshaping or removal of the corneal tissue it does not induce any dry eye symptoms and can help with any existing dry eye syndrome you may be experiencing from your everyday plastic contact lenses.

Though the ICL is designed to remain in the eye without maintenance, permanently correcting your vision, the lens can be completely removed providing flexibility for the future.

In the event of a major prescription change or the availability of new vision correction options, ICL is completely removable. Allowing you to keep pace with advancing technology and your future prescription if needed.

How vision correction saves our planet

Hard to swallow facts about wearing glasses and contact lenses.
  • Almost 800 million plastic contact lenses are used by 4 million people each year.
  • 100,000 tons of plastic are wasted from glasses.
SMILE, LASIK, PresbyondYour key to a sustainable, plastic-free life!
Saving more than just expenses, time and compromise, but saving the planet!
Clearer vision makes a clearer climate

How restoring your natural sight with vision correction treatment is helping the climate change crisis

Did you know blurry vision is on the rise?We call this ‘Myopia’ but you might already know Myopia as ‘Nearsightedness’.

By 2050 the World Health Organization predicts 4.9 million people will suffer from Myopia which not only affects people's natural sight and quality of life, but also contributes to the masses of plastic waste in our climate.

We understand how vision correction treatment is a healthier and natural way to not only restore your clear vision, but as an opportunity to see our climate become clean and bright for future generations to come!

Saving the planet one eye at a time!

When undergoing laser eye surgery, you may not realise it but you are already making a positive difference to the environment.

For every 10 years of contact lens wearing the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean is roughly the same as your own body weight.

Our gift to you...Here at My-iClinic we give all of our laser patients a real forest tree!

Over your tree’s long life, you can visit it, introduce it to your family and track its growth and value! Over the lifetime of the tree, it will more than offset the carbon you've used with your contacts/glasses. When the tree is harvested, its value will be yours and new trees are planted to replace it.

The surgeon was excellent, the staff very pleasant and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the clinic was serene and unhurried.As I said to Bola my surgeon she really is a miracle worker, making "the blind to see". I had bilateral cataract surgery, and afterwards I could see without aid which I had not been able to do for 65 years.

I have had cataract removed from both of my eyes at My-iClinic, with last surgery done yesterday 06-02-2023. On both occasions, the medical side of the surgery was carried out with level of professionalism in a state of the art environment. The clinic cleaniless is outstanding.

LTLawrence Tombe

Brilliant Treatment resulted in Brilliant Vision After noticing that my distance vision when driving was becoming uncomfortable and driving at night was becoming more and more difficult and new prescription glasses didn’t make much difference I decided to have cataract surgery. A friend recommended I have a consultation at the I-Clinic. Their professional examination was really Impressive and I had my totally painless operation to remove the cataracts (on both eyes) completed within the next four weeks.

DRDoug Ryan
StarStarStarStarStar

I was recommended to Mr Bulger by a friend and was very pleased with the entire process for removing cataracts and improving my vision remarkably. It really is a miracle. All of the staff were kind and attentive and with Mr Bulger I felt that I was in very safe hands. Follow up activity was with Ms Odufuwa who was most helpful and attentive

I cannot praise My-Iclinic enough from my initial consultation to pre op and my surgery. The staff are reassuring and extremely professional in every aspect of the process. Mrs Bola Oduwufa is a wonderful surgeon and a magician in my eyes !!!. My double cataract extraction and lens replacement has improved my eyesight 1000%.I didn’t realise how flat and dull the colours and perspective of seeing life through my eyes had become due to the cataracts.

The care taken by all the clinic staff to ensure that I was comfortable, kept informed of what was being done to my eye and made to feel relaxed during the pre op tests was of an extremely high standard The surgeon was thorough, in the initial meeting, in explaining the problems and procedure that she would use to remove my cataracts.

CMC Morgan
StarStarStarStarStar

Fantastic results. I was so impressed by all the staff and the extensive pre and post op test and scans which has resulted in 20:20 vision. My surgeon made the double cataract operation as easy a process as possible with re-assurance at all steps. Highly, highly recommended

My-iClinic was recommended by my optometrist. Both eyes were done quickly, painlessly and by a friendly team and one of two expert eye surgeons. Mr Bolger inspires confidence. I think I've had mine done early before the cataracts developed too much, which I recommend. The clarity is wonderful. Don't wait for your vision to get worse.

I am a absolutely terrified of anybody going near my eyes, it took a lot of courage to go ahead with treatment. During treatment the nurses and everybody concerned made great efforts to give me confidence. The staff were very friendly and thorough in their approach with attention to detail at every stage. I could have had the treatment in Cyprus at a much lower cost - but finally decided that My-iClinic from reports I had read and comments made to me was the best option. All the time remember you only have one set of eyes - and I have always felt it is your most important sense

Implantable contact lenses Frequently asked questions

Have a question? We are here to help.

What does ‘ICL’ stand for?

ICL stands for ‘Implantable Collamer Lenses’ which some refer to as ‘Implantable contact lenses.’ No matter the term, ICL is a permanent lens implanted into the eye to correct your vision, be that short or long sighted, and astigmatism. If you have a prescription for glasses or everyday contact lenses, ICL is  could be an excellent vision correction procedure for you! ICL is the best alternative to laser eye surgery, even for those with a higher than average prescription, dry eyes or thin corneas, and offers crisp, clear vision during the day and at night, permanently, without needing your glasses or everyday contact lenses.

How do Implantable Contact Lenses work?

Implantable Collamer lenses are the most advanced contact lens procedure to have your vision without needing to wear glasses or disposable contact lenses again. Discuss your options and eligibility for implantable contact lens surgery with one of our ICL specialists here. We will give you clear advice on your suitability and the best vision correction options for your lifestyle.

What is the difference between Implantable Contact Lenses and the contact lenses I put in everyday?

There are three major differences between Implantable Collamer Lenses and the contact lenses you currently wear everyday:

  • Implantable Collamer lenses are gently fixed in your eye for a long period of time. There is no need to wear glasses or to use plastic lenses in your eyes which risks infections.
  • Implantable Collamer Lenses stop any dry eye symptoms which you may be experiencing with your everyday disposable contact lenses.
  • Implantable Collamer Lenses are not only the best for your eyes health, but a far better financial investment than spending money on lenses which only last a day.

What are Implantable Contact Lenses made of?

The Implantable Contact Lenses we use are EVO Visian. EVO Visian is a soft, flexible lens that is gently inserted and positioned in your eye behind the iris (coloured part of the eye) and in front of your natural lens, making it undetectable to any observers. The procedure is completely painless. Unlike other procedures, the EVO Visian implantable contact lens procedure does not touch the corneal tissue in the eye. This lens is in complete harmony with your natural eyes to provide exceptional quality of vision, allowing you to see the world around you in crystal clear clarity.

How will I know if Implantable Contact Lenses will be best for me?

Adults 21 – 60 years of age with short-sighted and long sighted prescriptions (near and far). If you have a prescription between -0.5D to -20.0D Or A prescription +16D and up to 6.0D of astigmatism you are suitable for Implantable Contact Lenses unlike laser eye surgery, if you have:
  • Thin or irregular corneas (Keratoconus)
  • Dry eye
  • High astigmatism
  • High myopia
  • High hyperopia

I have keratoconus, am I suitable for Implantable Contact Lenses?

Yes! Many people who have keratoconus (a thin cornea) will not be suitable for laser eye surgery but are suitable for Implantable Contact Lenses. In fact, the best alternative to laser eye surgery is to have Implantable Contact Lenses rather than continuing to purchase disposable contact lenses which can damage the health of your eye. Many patients don’t meet the requirements for laser refractive procedures because their prescription is too high, or they have thin corneas. However our Implantable Contact Lenses provide a safe and effective treatment for clear, natural vision.

What if my prescription changes and I already have my contact lenses implanted?

If you find your prescription is changing over the time you have ICL, we are able to change the ICL lenses so you can resume your normal activities by seeing clearly again. The ICL procedure is 100% reversible and if you do find your sight is changing, we can replace your old prescription with your new prescription. You can still continue with long-term sight without worrying about glasses or contact lenses.

How long do Implantable Contact Lenses last?

ICL are designed to be permanent as it is the best vision correction alternative to laser eye surgery! The lenses are designed very differently to hard plastic lenses you would usually purchase for everyday use which is why they last forever.

Are Implantable Contact Lenses Permanent?

ICL is a permanent solution to fix your sight and have clear vision for the long term without the need for purchasing disposable contact lenses or glasses. However, the ICL procedure is not permanent as it can always be reversed if your prescription changes in the future. Think of ICL as permanent contact lenses everyday where you don’t need to.

How much does ICL cost?

Our ICL procedure costs £2,750 per eye. We offer a 0% interest- free finance option for 24 months which only requires a deposit of 25%, while the remaining balance can be paid back interest-free! See if you are eligible for our finance options here.

Is there a chance I will not be suitable for ICL surgery?

Everybody is most likely suitable for ICL treatment! However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under that age of 21, unfortunately you would not be considered for the treatment at this time. We understand you may be looking for the best treatment to correct your vision already which is why we will still be able to book your private consultation with our specialist in advance. If you are over the age of 45, we would not use ICL as a suitable treatment to correct your vision. Instead, we would propose Presbyond as the best treatment for you.

Can I swim, play sports and drive after my ICL surgery?

Yes! The main benefit of having ICL surgery is to be free from any visual limitations in your busy lifestyle! After the surgery, we advise two weeks without swimming or participating in any strenuous activity but after these two weeks you may resume all activities as normal with the crystal clarity of the world around you!

When can I wear eye makeup after ICL?

We advise you to not wear any eye shadow, mascara or eyeliner for at least two weeks after your ICL surgery. This is because your eye is still healing from the implantation and any makeup that falls off into your eyes will affect the recovery process and could result in injury. But once the two week recovery period has finished you can wear makeup everyday and apply at any time without having to worry about inserting your everyday contact lenses ever again!

What is the success rate of ICL surgery?

ICL surgery is an incredibly safe and effective treatment with one of the highest success rates for vision correction procedures. The success rate for our ICL is 98 percent and the remaining 2% of surgeries that were reversed was completed again with different measurements for the lenses. Because the ICL lens is a biocompatible and stable material, it has been used for many years in ICL surgery and is completely safe.

Can ICL also fix my dry eye syndrome and astigmatism?

Yes! Implantable Contact Lenses can reverse the effects of dry eyes which many people experience when using everyday contact lenses. If you have astigmatism or are Myopic (experiencing near-sightedness), ICL will permanently correct this for you.

What are the potential risks with ICL surgery?

Like any treatment there are potential risks to consider. In the very rare occasion we may have to treat a patient twice to reposition or replace the lens implant. Sometimes if the ICL lens is not positioned or sized correctly it may cause inflammation and irritation but we ensure to remove the lens before this becomes any long-term issue.
