What is what does icl mean?

ICL stands for Implantable Collamer Lens, which is a type of lens that can be surgically implanted into the eye to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness). Unlike traditional contact lenses, ICLs are placed inside the eye behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, where they can help refract light and focus it on the retina to improve vision. ICLs are often used as an alternative to LASIK or other refractive surgeries for patients who are not good candidates for these procedures.
