What is icl meaing?

ICL stands for "Implantable Collamer Lens," a type of contact lens that is surgically inserted into the eye to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The ICL is made from a biocompatible material called Collamer, which is designed to remain stable in the eye over the long-term. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which require daily removal and cleaning, ICLs are permanent and require no maintenance. The procedure to insert an ICL is minimally invasive, with a short recovery time, and can be performed on patients with thin corneas or other contraindications for LASIK surgery. ICLs are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional glasses and contact lenses, particularly for people with high prescriptions or those who are physically active.
