What is Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Surgery?

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is an advanced vision correction procedure designed to provide sharp, high-definition vision without removing corneal tissue. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL surgery works by placing a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye—behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. ICL Laser Eye Surgery London

The procedure is completely additive, meaning it doesn’t alter the natural eye structure. The implanted lens works with your eye’s natural focusing ability, providing clear vision while maintaining the integrity of your cornea. One of the biggest advantages? It’s reversible—the lens can be removed or replaced if necessary, offering long-term flexibility for your vision needs.

For several years, I have been seeing Mr Deshmukh for suspected glaucoma and have been very impressed by his skill and sensitivity. When he suggested that now was the time to have cataract surgery, I had no hesitation in following his advice. He is very good at explaining the procedures and I opted for bilateral surgery with premium interocular lenses.I was slightly apprehensive before the operation but was reassured by all the staff. They were quite right as immediately afterwards I could read the notices in the corridor. It is wonderful not to be wearing glasses. I am 83 years old and cannot recommend Mr Deshmukh highly enough.

I can 100% recommend Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh for eye surgery. Mr. Deshmukh performed a cataract operation on my right eye during March 2024 and on my left eye eleven weeks later. In each case, it would have been possible to drive within two days after the operation. I drove after six days, as I do not drive every day. I can now read a car number plate at 63 metres. His whole medical team was very good at reducing my anxiety prior to the operations, which were painless. In each case, I would not have known that my eye had undergone an operation, other than the effects of the pupil dilation drops taking a full 24 hours to completely diminish. Before the operation, my eyes exceeded the legal requirement for driving, but the possibility of not being able to drive in the future was never going to be acceptable to me. I believe we forget how good our eyes once were, as changes happen very slowly over a very long time-period.

I’m 58-year-old who had early onset of cataracts. The cataract surgery was complicated by some RK surgery I had around 25 years ago. The cataracts were affecting my golf, I was struggling to play tennis under floodlights and drive in the dark. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I now have perfect distance eyesight and can comfortably read texts on my phone and night vision is excellent. Mr Deshmukh took the time to understand my demands and complications with my eyesight. He clearly takes pride and interest in his work; I can’t recommend him highly enough.

My Both eyes cataract removal with lens exchange to correct vision has been carried out recently by Consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Ragesh Deshmuk in the private patient unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. He also carried out follow-up consultations after the operation, the results were excellent for both eyes. I cannot believe I no longer need one after 40 years of using spectacles! I am thrilled with his excellent surgical ability. I am grateful for the exceptional care and skill Mr. Deshmukh and his team demonstrated in this matter. I also thank Ms Paula Jessup for her effort in arranging the timetables and all communications in this process. Wahab Weli

Mr Deshmukh carried out bilateral cataract surgery and insertion of trifocal lenses three weeks ago. The whole process was easy and reassuring. I can honestly say that the surgery itself was relaxing and pleasant - if you’re putting it off because you’re nervous - don’t be! This is the first time in nearly seventy years that I haven’t worn glasses and it’s life changing.

FAQ's
Regarding Collamer Lens Surgery
01. What is Collamer Lens Surgery, and how does it differ from LASIK?
Collamer Lens Surgery, also known as ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery, involves implanting a corrective lens inside the eye to address nearsightedness. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL surgery inserts a lens, preserving the corneal tissue and making it a suitable option for individuals with thinner or irregular corneas.
Ideal candidates for Collamer Lens Surgery are typically those with moderate to severe nearsightedness, thin corneas, or those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK. A comprehensive eye examination will determine your eligibility for this procedure.
Yes, Collamer Lens Surgery is considered safe and has been performed successfully for many years. The Collamer material used in the lens is biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Recovery after Collamer Lens Surgery is usually quick. Patients often notice improved vision shortly after the procedure. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a short period, with minimal discomfort.
Yes, the Collamer Lens used in ICL surgery is reversible and can be removed or exchanged if necessary. Additionally, if your vision changes over time, the lens can be adjusted or replaced to accommodate these changes.
