ICL Center
What is an ICL ?
An ICL is an additional lens implanted inside the eye to correct vision problems, allowing patients to live without relying on glasses.
It has been used for over 30 years, with more than 3 million patients worldwide.
The lens is made from Collamer, a special material containing collagen that is highly biocompatible with the eye—soft, clear, and designed to last long-term.
ICL is the preferred first-line option for vision correction in Japan, with its popularity continuing to grow worldwide.
Comparison Between ICL and LASIK
Who Is ICL Suitable For?
- Individuals aged 21 and above
- Those with nearsightedness from -0.75 up to -16.00 diopters, or astigmatism up to -6.00 diopters
- Patients with thin corneas or dry eyes, who may not be suitable for LASIK
- Individuals seeking the highest level of visual quality
Today, ICL is no longer just an alternative for those who cannot undergo LASIK. It has become a first-choice option for many patients who prioritize maximum safety, wish to avoid permanent changes to the corneal structure, and desire superior visual outcomes.
Safety & Technology
Pre-Procedure Evaluation Technology
Personalized Sizing Algorithm
This is a crucial step and the key to achieving optimal outcomes with ICL implantation. Selecting the correct ICL size that fits the eye precisely is essential for both safety and long-term success.
At inZ ICL Center, we utilize AI-assisted technology to calculate and select the most accurate ICL size for each individual eye.
Because no two eyes are the same — a lens that fits your eye perfectly is the key to achieving the best results and the highest level of safety.
