ICL Surgery in Mumbai

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a soft, biocompatible micro-lens placed inside the eye between the iris and the natural lens. No corneal tissue is removed, which may make ICL a suitable option for high refractive errors, thin corneas or chronic dry eyes.

LASIK suits low-to-moderate myopia (up to −10D) with a healthy cornea. ICL is often considered for high myopia (−8D to −18D), thin or irregular corneas, severe dry eyes or anyone seeking a reversible procedure. An eye scan confirms the right choice for you.

ICL surgery in Mumbai typically costs ₹85,000 to ₹1,50,000 per eye, depending on lens type (EVO Visian, Toric ICL), power range and clinic. EMI options are available; some insurance policies cover ICL above −7.5D power.

ICL is designed to stay in place permanently but is fully reversible — the lens can be removed or replaced by an eye surgeon if your prescription changes significantly or if you later need cataract surgery.

Like any intraocular procedure, ICL carries some risks. Possible side effects include temporary night halos (usually settle in weeks), small risk of pressure spike in the first 24 hours (managed with drops), and rare need for lens repositioning. Cataract formation is a recognised but uncommon risk; the EVO Visian central-port design is intended to lower it.

Most ICL patients see clearly within 24 hours and return to desk work in 1–2 days. Driving in 3–5 days, gym in 1 week, swimming after 4 weeks. Final vision stability at 1 month.
