About ICL Surgery
ICL, or Implantable Collamer Lens, is a revolutionary vision correction procedure designed for patients with high degrees of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, ICL doesn’t involve reshaping the cornea. Instead, it uses a biocompatible lens implanted in the eye to improve vision naturally. Dr. Suraj Munjal, a leading ophthalmologist, specializes in providing advanced and safe ICL treatments, focusing on personalized care for every patient.
What Causes the Need for ICL?
ICL is often recommended for individuals who:
- Have high myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism.
- Are not ideal candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas or other reasons.
- Seek a reversible, minimally invasive alternative to traditional laser surgeries.
If eyeglasses or contact lenses are inconvenient, ICL might be the best permanent vision solution.
Types of ICL Lenses
- Toric ICL: Designed to correct astigmatism along with nearsightedness or farsightedness.
- Non-Toric ICL: Primarily corrects myopia or hyperopia without addressing astigmatism.
Dr. Suraj Munjal evaluates each patient’s vision needs and chooses the best ICL type for optimal results.
Symptoms That May Indicate You Need ICL
Patients who consider ICL surgery often experience:
- Blurry or impaired vision that affects daily tasks.
- High dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses.
- Discomfort or lifestyle limitations due to traditional vision correction methods.
ICL is particularly suitable for patients with high refractive errors, offering clear, natural vision without frequent prescription changes.
Diagnosis: Is ICL Right for You?
Before undergoing ICL surgery, Dr. Suraj Munjal performs a thorough eye examination. The diagnosis process includes:
- Detailed measurement of refractive errors.
- Corneal thickness evaluation.
- General eye health assessment.
This comprehensive approach ensures that ICL is a safe, effective solution tailored to each patient’s unique vision profile.

- Initial Consultation: Dr. Munjal explains the procedure, answers your questions, and confirms candidacy.
