Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) – Sharif Eye Center

In 1998, Dr. Khalid Sharif proudly performed the first Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) procedure in Jordan, marking a significant milestone in vision correction. ICL is a special type of contact lens that is permanently implanted inside the eye, offering a revolutionary solution for patients with severe short-sightedness (up to -25.00) or long-sightedness (up to +12.00) who are not suitable for LASIK surgery.

At Sharif Eye Centers, we are the first in Jordan to be recognized by Staar Technologies, the Swiss manufacturer of ICL, for our expertise in providing this advanced technology to our patients. The ICL procedure takes just 10 minutes per eye, and visual recovery is quick, making it an ideal option for patients with high prescriptions or those who cannot undergo LASIK due to thin corneas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is ICL?
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) is a permanent lens implanted behind the cornea, offering a more stable vision correction solution compared to standard contact lenses worn on the surface of the eye. It is made from Collamer, a unique material that is biocompatible with the human body, resulting in zero rejection.

Who is a good candidate for ICL?
ICL is ideal for patients with very high prescriptions who are not candidates for LASIK surgery due to thin corneas or those with severe myopia or hypermetropia. The ideal age range for the procedure is 21-45 years.

How is the ICL implanted?
Thanks to the foldable nature of the Collamer lens, the ICL can be inserted through a microscopic opening. The surgeon injects the lens and positions it between the natural lens and the iris, a process that takes only a few minutes per eye.

What will my eyes look like after the procedure?
The ICL is transparent and sits behind the iris, making it invisible to the naked eye. Only an eye doctor using a microscope can detect the lens, meaning your eyes will look completely natural after the procedure.
