What does ICL mean?
Even if you have already been told that laser treatment is not possible for you, or you would like a reversible procedure to correct your defective vision, you do not have to give up a life without glasses.
EyeLaser specializes in the correction of defective vision. In order to provide our patients with comprehensive information and treatment, we offer both laser vision correction and implantable lenses. EyeLaser is already implanting the latest generation of EVO+ Visian ICLs with even larger optics. This can reduce the risk of so-called halos. As part of a comprehensive preliminary examination, we will decide which treatment method is most suitable for you. Due to the excellent imaging quality, we usually implant the EVO Visian ICL in the following cases:
In patients with a thin cornea
In patients with chronic dry eye or contact lens intolerance
If the patient wants a reversible correction procedure
In patients with an abnormal/irregular cornea
In patients with very severe defective vision
With the use of phakic lenses, severe visual defects with more than -8 and +3 diopters and astigmatism can also be corrected. In this method, a small tunnel incision is made at the edge of the cornea using a scalpel, through which a foldable artificial Collamer lens (ICL) is inserted into the eye.
This phakic lens with a certain power corrects the visual defect directly in the eye. It is inserted between the iris and the natural lens and is neither visible nor perceptible.
EVO Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
In the first step, the eye is anesthetized using eye drops. The surgeon prepares the lens. The surgeon injects a protective gel (viscoelastic) to protect the cornea and lens of the eye.
The lens is implanted through a small 2.80 – 3.00 mm opening at the edge of the cornea.
Now the exact positioning takes place and in the last step the protective gel is suctioned off again.
The day after the treatment, the position of the lens is checked using special OCT devices (Anterion- Heidelberg Engineerind or MS39- CSO).
What advantages does the EVO Visian ICL offer?
Risks & side effects
In some cases, we also combine the implantation of an artificial lens with laser eye surgery to create a so-called bioptic procedure. In this case, an artificial lens is first implanted to roughly correct the defective vision. After approx. 3-6 months, a LASIK operation follows for the fine-tuning or correction of astigmatism or residual defective vision.
The implantation of lenses is generally tolerated well and without complications. In less than 0.1% of cases, inflammation can occur inside the eye. Minor risks include an increase in intraocular pressure (glaucoma), premature development of cataracts, halos (light effects, e.g. when driving), glare (night glare) and corneal swelling. Most of these can be corrected after the operation. Please follow the surgeon’s instructions and drip schedule exactly and attend your follow-up appointments.

The eye surgery method Lens implants
In some cases, laser eye surgery is not possible or not possible without risk, e.g. if the dioptre value is too high or the cornea is too thin. Too much tissue would have to be removed or disturbing optical phenomena such as halos could occur. An ICL cannot be used if the anatomical conditions are not optimal or if the lens is beginning to cloud.
For such patients, we also offer refractive lens surgery without laser, i.e. lens replacement with the use of premium lenses, at our laser eye centers in Vienna, Linz and Zurich: The patient’s own lens is replaced with an artificial one. i.e. lens replacement with the use of premium lenses: The patient’s own lens is replaced with an artificial one.
The use and safety of ICL lenses has been scientifically proven in numerous scientific studies. In centers where ICL surgery is routinely performed, complications are a rarity. Nevertheless, the highest safety criteria should be observed after every procedure and the attending physician should be contacted if there is any doubt after the procedure.
