ICL / IPCL (Extra Lens)

The ICL treatment is a vision correction treatment. The ICL lens that is placed is permanent and requires no maintenance. This extra lens is used for patients where it is not possible to perform a laser eye treatment. Often these are eyes where the cornea is too thin or the eye deviation too high.

This treatment involves placing an additional lens in the back chamber of the eye (behind the iris) while preserving your own eye lens. The ICL lens comes between the iris and your eye lens. The function of the ICL lens can be compared to that of glasses or contact lenses, namely to ensure that the light reaches your retina.

How does ICL implantation work?

The ICL treatment can be described as a vision correcting treatment. The ICL lens is placed behind the cornea of the eye (behind the iris) and in front of your own eye lens. The ICL lens that is placed is permanent and requires no maintenance. 

  1. Anesthesia Your eye is first anesthetized with eye drops. As a result, you will not feel any pain during the treatment.

  2. Implanting the lens The ophthalmologist makes a small opening in the eye. The ICL supplementary lens is inserted in a folded position.

  3. Closing the incision The incision is closed by applying a drop of saline solution to the incision. This closes the small incision on its own.

For detailed information about how it works before, during and after treatment, you can consult our patient portal.

  • 5 sterren Good experience!

    Had eye laser treatment last year. Still very happy with the treatment. Good explanation by visus and the treatment only takes a short time afterwards. Got rid of all complaints pretty quickly afterwards. A little more trouble with reflections when driving in the dark with rain, but apart from that, vision is very good!

  • 5 sterren Very well served

    Helped very well. Informed well beforehand, did extensive research on the best treatment for me. Was helped quickly despite the crowds. Operation successful, clear explanation of how and what to do after the operation. Good aftercare. Highly recommended.

  • 5 sterren Good, professional clinic

    Good, professional clinic. Had both eyes treated with the Relex Smile in September 2022. Everything is super well and tightly organised. The treatment itself seems exciting but you are well guided and all worries are taken away, you feel you are in capable hands. Aftercare also well organised. Great vision now, no need for glasses. Well worth the money!
