ICL is an intraocular contact lens that corrects vision.

The lens is called ICL which corrects myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia by implanting an intraocular lens into the eye. ICL inserts a lens into the eye through a small 3mm incision without shaving the cornea different from LASIK. The feature of ICL is that the lens can be removed when there is a problem.
The surgery is performed by one of only two senior expert instructors in Japan. By using the most advanced examination equipment and taking detailed data, we select the best lens for each patient. We remove any doubts or anxieties about the surgery through attentive, patient-focused counseling.

【Treatment Schedule】
Initial Visit: Consultation and comprehensive eye examination can be completed on the same day.
Lens Ordering: After the examination, your customized ICL will be ordered. The lens is typically available approximately one month after the examination.
