Description: PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES The intraocular contact lens (ICL) is an optical element similar to a contact lens and it is permanently implanted behind the iris. It does not require any maintenance or exchange. It is a suitable solution for younger patients with high prescription, both plus and minus ones. The advantage is a possibility to change the lens in case the disorder progresses. PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENS has excellent optical characteristics.

Duration: Quite painlessly, the lens is implanted in the operating theatre of the outpatient clinic and the surgery takes about 10 minutes. ICL is produced by STAAR, a Swiss company, and has been approved for use by the European Union and the US FDA. It is also referred to as VisianICL in some countries. As the lens is always tailor-made, the implantation is a two-step process. In the first step the patient comes to Prague for a pre-operative examination. Similarly to glasses a deposit for the lens has to be paid before the lens can be ordered, because the lens will be made exactly according to the patients prescription. This first visit can take just 1 day. The patient can fly back home immediately after the examination. After six weeks the lens is ready to be implanted. If only 1 eye is to be treated, the patient stays in Prague 6 days, in case of both eyes the patient stays 9 days.

Results: Our doctors have excellent long-term experience with ICL implantataion. Compared to laser surgery, a certain disadvantage of the ICL is that the price is somewhat higher.
