Think ICLs are only for short-sightedness? Dr Fadi Kherdaji explains how toric Implantable Collamer Lenses can also correct astigmatism, alongside short-sightedness or long-sightedness, depending on the lens selected and your suitability. Positioned behind the iris and in front of your natural lens, a toric ICL has different focusing powers across different directions. When precisely aligned with your astigmatism, it compensates for uneven focusing, helping light focus clearly on the retina.
Your Treatment Starts Today!
Your treatment starts with detailed eye measurements at our London clinic. We assess your prescription, the amount and direction of your astigmatism, and the space inside your eye to check whether ICL surgery is suitable. We then order the appropriate lens size and prescription for your eye, with its alignment carefully planned before surgery. Book a consultation to find out whether a toric ICL could help reduce your reliance on glasses or contact lenses.
