What is ICL Eye sugrery for Specs Removal? . . Dr. Rahil Chaudhary explains one of the most misunderstood but powerful vision-correction technologies today - ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens). The concept is actually very simple. Whatever power your glasses currently have, that same power is placed inside your eye in the form of a specially designed lens. Once the lens is implanted, your vision is corrected internally, and you no longer need spectacles or contact lenses. ICL is not laser surgery.
