ICL Surgery for High Myopia: Is It Right for You? When your glasses prescription is very high, laser vision correction may not always be the ideal option. ICL surgery offers an alternative by placing a thin lens inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, without removing corneal tissue. ICL can be considered for suitable patients with high myopia, particularly when the cornea is thin or laser correction may require excessive tissue removal. Benefits can include sharp vision, preservation of corneal tissue and the option to remove or exchange the lens if required. However, ICL is an intraocular procedure, so detailed evaluation of the eye’s anatomy, pressure, cornea and retina is essential. In India, ICL surgery for both eyes may cost approximately ₹1.4 lakh to ₹2.6 lakh, depending on the lens type, hospital, city and inclusions. The right choice should always be based on your individual eye health and long-term vision goals. #ICLSurgery #HighMyopia #MyopiaTreatment #VisionCorrection #CentreForSight Aug 21, 2026 Learn more
