ICL Eye Surgery in Tardeo, Mumbai

The eye lens is responsible for the focal distance flexibility of the human eye. Thus, to create clear images of different objects located at different distances, an eye lens is essential. It accommodates light rays to reach the retina of the eye. 

Any damage to the eye lens can create vision issues. Ophthalmology hospitals in Mumbai offer some of the best treatment options for damaged eye lenses.

What do we need to know about ICL surgery?

Implantable collamer surgery or ICL surgery is a medical procedure during which an artificial lens is implanted in the eye. This lens is placed between the iris and the natural lens of the eye by an eye surgeon. It is a phakic intraocular lens that doesn’t require the removal of an existing natural eye lens.
