Limitations of ICL / Phakic Implant Surgery

Results of surgery cannot be guaranteed and sometimes glasses may be required for sharpest vision, for night driving or other activities performed in low light, and for prolonged reading etc. Implantable Contact Lenses are designed to provide as close to normal vision as possible. People with normal distance vision benefit from wearing reading glasses for near work at some stage in their 40s. ICL patients experience this aging change just the same as normal people.
