Phakic IOL (Staar ICL)

Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) is an alternative to Laser Eye Surgery. An implantable contact lens is placed in the front part of the eye removing your need for glasses. ICL is suitable for people aged 21-45 years old and can treat people with their glasses strength from +10.0 to -18.0D and with people who have astigmatism. 

ICL is a perfect treatment for those with high strength glasses (refractive error) and excellent for people who have thin corneas. 

Surgery
ICL surgery is performed as a day procedure at Bowen Hospital with a local anaesthetic. The recovery is quick, normally just a few days, and is considered a permanent correction of your vision.

Results
Excellent vision results can be achieved with Staar Visian ICL.
