Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)

Clear Vision—Without Reshaping Your Cornea

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK or PRK, you still have options. Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a different approach to vision correction—one that works with your eye rather than reshaping it.

At Golden View Ophthalmology, Dr. Eugenia White offers ICL as an advanced solution for patients who want clear vision but may not be a fit for laser procedures.

What Is ICL?

ICL involves placing a thin, biocompatible lens inside your eye, positioned behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. It’s a precise, reversible option that provides excellent visual outcomes for the right candidate.

No corneal reshaping
No tissue removal
Works naturally with your eye
Reversible if needed

Who Is ICL Best For?

ICL may be a great option if you’ve1 been told laser procedures aren’t right for your eyes. It’s often the solution for patients who thought they had run out of choices.

Have moderate to high nearsightedness
Have thin corneas
Are not a candidate for LASIK or PRK
Want a long-term vision correction solution
