High Power Number Correction Surgery – ICL/IPCL
If you struggle with high power number correction and depend heavily on glasses or contact lenses, you’re not alone. Millions worldwide face the challenge of severe myopia (nearsightedness) that limits their lifestyle and career choices. While LASIK has transformed vision correction for many patients, not everyone is a suitable candidate—particularly those with very high prescriptions, thin corneas, or unstable refractive errors.
At Jindal Eye Hospital in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, we offer an advanced solution for these patients: ICL/IPCL surgery. This cutting-edge procedure represents a breakthrough in spectacle removal surgery, giving hope to patients who previously had limited options beyond continuous dependence on corrective lenses.
What Is ICL/IPCL Surgery?
ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) and IPCL (Implantable Phakic Contact Lens) are surgically implanted lens options designed to correct refractive errors without removing corneal tissue. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL/IPCL works by placing a specially designed lens inside the eye to bend light rays precisely onto the retina.
Think of it as placing a permanent, custom-made contact lens inside your eye that works 24/7. The lens sits in front of the eye’s natural lens, providing continuous vision correction without the need for glasses or contact lenses. For patients with high power number correction needs, this approach offers superior outcomes and greater safety margins.
The procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes per eye and is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience significant vision improvement within days and achieve optimal results within 4-6 weeks.
Who Can Benefit From ICL/IPCL Surgery?
ICL/IPCL surgery is particularly valuable for patients in these categories:
- High myopia patients: Individuals with prescriptions ranging from -3.00 to -20.00 diopters or higher.
- Thin cornea cases: Patients whose corneas are too thin for safe LASIK or Contoura LASIK surgery.
- Unsuitable LASIK candidates: Those with irregular astigmatism or other corneal conditions that make laser surgery risky.
- Stable power seekers: Patients with refractive errors that have remained stable for at least 1-2 years.
- Spectacle freedom seekers: Anyone wishing to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses for better quality of life.
- Dry eye patients: Those with dry eye syndrome, as ICL/IPCL doesn't damage the cornea's surface.
ICL/IPCL vs. Contoura LASIK: Understanding Your Options
At Jindal Eye Hospital, we believe in personalized care. Your vision correction journey should be tailored to your unique eye anatomy. Both ICL/IPCL surgery and Contoura LASIK in Jaipur are excellent spectacle removal options—the difference lies in who benefits most from each.
| Feature | ICL/IPCL Surgery | Contoura LASIK |
|---|---|---|
| Best for high power | Excellent (-3 to -20+ diopters) | Moderate power (-1 to -8) |
| Corneal preservation | Preserves all tissue | Removes tissue |
| Reversibility | Lens can be removed | Permanent reshaping |
Contoura LASIK remains an excellent choice for patients with moderate power prescriptions and adequate corneal thickness. However, for high power number correction, especially with thin corneas, ICL/IPCL emerges as the superior option. Dr. Mayank Agarwal and the team at Jindal Eye Hospital will comprehensively evaluate both your prescription and corneal health to recommend the most suitable procedure for you.

Benefits of ICL/IPCL Surgery
- Suitable for very high myopia: Corrects prescriptions up to -20 diopters or beyond—prescription ranges where LASIK may not be safe.
- Preserves corneal tissue: No corneal tissue is removed, protecting the eye's structural integrity for life.
- Clearer vision potential: Many patients achieve 20/20 or better vision, often superior to pre-operative glasses/contact lens vision.
- Flexible alternative to LASIK: For those with thin corneas, irregular astigmatism, or other LASIK contraindications, ICL/IPCL opens doors previously closed.
- Reduces spectacle dependency: Enjoy freedom from glasses and contact lenses, enhancing quality of life and career opportunities.
- Safe for dry eye: Unlike LASIK, ICL/IPCL doesn't compromise tear film or corneal sensation.
- Long-term stability: Once implanted, the lens provides stable, lasting vision correction.
- Reversible option: The lens can theoretically be removed, though long-term outcomes are so satisfactory that removal is rarely desired.
