Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery in London
Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery — also known as Implantable Collamer Lens surgery — places a soft, biocompatible lens inside your eye to correct short-sightedness and astigmatism. Unlike laser eye surgery, no corneal tissue is removed or reshaped, and unlike lens replacement, your natural lens stays in place. The implant sits permanently and discreetly behind the iris, yet it can be removed if your needs ever change.
At Precision Vision London, ICL surgery is performed by Dr Radwan Almousa (Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon) at our Harley Street clinic, with Dr CT Pillai (Medical Director) leading consultations and aftercare. Prices start from £3,500 per eye and finance is available subject to status.

Why Choose Precision Vision London?
Precision Vision London is a surgeon-led private eye clinic on Harley Street — London’s most established private medical district. We perform Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgery, Refractive Lens Exchange, cataract surgery, and laser eye surgery.
The best way to find out which treatment suits you is to book a consultation, where we’ll carry out advanced diagnostic scans and give you a clear recommendation.
What is Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) Surgery?
An Implantable Contact Lens is a tiny corrective lens that is surgically placed inside your eye to improve your vision. The lens is inserted through a small, self-sealing micro incision and positioned in the space between the natural lens and the iris — the posterior chamber. Once in place, it works with your eye’s own focusing system to give clear, high-definition distance vision.
The lens used at Precision Vision London is the EVO Visian ICL, made by STAAR Surgical. It is manufactured from Collamer, a highly biocompatible material that contains a small amount of purified collagen — the reason the procedure is also called Implantable Collamer Lens surgery. Collamer is well tolerated in the eye and includes a built-in UV blocker.
ICL surgery is one of the most established forms of vision correction available today. The first Implantable Collamer Lens was placed in 1993, and the technology has been used internationally for more than thirty years. In February 2026, STAAR Surgical confirmed that more than 4 million ICLs have now been implanted worldwide, roughly doubling since 2019. The EVO Visian ICL received its European CE Mark in 2011 and US FDA approval in 2022, and is supported by over 100 peer-reviewed clinical studies.
Unlike laser eye surgery, the cornea is preserved. Unlike lens replacement, your natural lens stays in place. And unlike traditional contact lenses, the implant is invisible, you cannot feel it, and you never have to remove or clean it.
Prescription Ranges We Treat
The EVO Visian ICL is designed to correct short-sightedness and short-sightedness combined with astigmatism. The manufacturer’s stated range covers myopia up to approximately -15.00 dioptres, with reduction of higher myopia up to around -20.00 dioptres, and astigmatism up to approximately 4.00 dioptres corrected with a toric lens.
Precision Vision London also treats selected patients whose prescriptions exceed these levels:
- Short-sightedness (myopia): up to approximately -25.00 dioptres
- Long-sightedness (hyperopia): up to approximately +12.00 dioptres
- Astigmatism: up to approximately 5.00 dioptres, corrected with a toric lens
Because higher-prescription cases sit outside the standard EVO indication, suitability is always confirmed individually after full diagnostic testing. If your prescription is very high, or you have been told you are unsuitable elsewhere, a consultation is the only way to confirm what we can achieve for you.
Who is Suitable for ICL Surgery?
How We Determine Your Suitability
ICL surgery is not right for everyone. Suitability is determined at your consultation based on your prescription, eye health, age and lifestyle. Every patient at Precision Vision London receives a two-hour consultation with full diagnostic imaging before any treatment is recommended.
Only an in-person consultation with full diagnostics can confirm suitability. A phone assessment with our patient coordinators will establish whether a consultation is appropriate before any fees are charged.
You may be suitable if you:
- Are aged between 21 and 45 and have a prescription that has been stable for at least 12 months
- Have moderate to high short-sightedness (myopia), with or without astigmatism
- Have thin or irregular corneas that rule you out of laser eye surgery
- Suffer from dry eye, which can be aggravated by some laser procedures
- Want a reversible, cornea-preserving vision correction option with crisp, high-contrast distance vision
- Are in good general health with no active eye infection or significant eye disease
You may not be suitable if you:
- Are under 21, or have a prescription that is still changing
- Have certain forms of glaucoma, or significantly raised eye pressure
- Have a cataract already affecting your vision (lens replacement may be more appropriate)
- Have advanced retinal disease or significant eye disease
- Have a shallow anterior chamber, meaning there is limited space for the lens
- Have an uncontrolled autoimmune or systemic condition
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Borderline cases we assess carefully
Some patients fall into a grey area where suitability depends on a detailed assessment. We will review your case individually if you:
- Have controlled glaucoma or diabetes
- Have had previous laser eye surgery
- Have keratoconus that has been stabilised, whether naturally or with corneal collagen cross-linking
- Have a very high prescription that sits outside the standard EVO range
- Take medications that may affect intraocular pressure or pupil size
Told You're Unsuitable Elsewhere? Read This
Yes — in many cases. We frequently see patients who have been told at high-volume clinics that they are not candidates for vision correction. Common reasons include:
- A prescription outside the safe range for LASIK, LASEK, SMILE or PRK
- Corneas too thin or too irregular for laser surgery
- Dry eye that makes laser correction uncomfortable or unpredictable
- High astigmatism combined with high myopia
- Keratoconus that has been stabilised
Because ICL surgery preserves the cornea and does not depend on corneal thickness, it can often help patients for whom laser surgery was never an option. If you’ve been told you’re not suitable for vision correction elsewhere, a consultation at Precision Vision London is worth the second opinion.
“Many of the patients I see for ICL have already been told they cannot have laser eye surgery, usually because their prescription is too high or their corneas are too thin. Because the lens preserves the cornea and corrects vision from inside the eye, it often produces a sharper, more stable result for these patients than a laser could have. Suitability is always individual, which is why a thorough consultation matters.”
— Dr Radwan Almousa
The ICL Procedure — Step by Step
Each eye takes around 20-30 minutes
ICL surgery is a day-case procedure performed under local anaesthetic. You will be awake but will not feel pain, and no needles are involved. Most patients describe the experience as quick and comfortable.
Because each lens is custom-made to match your exact eye measurements, your lenses are ordered after your consultation and can take about 4 to 8 weeks to be manufactured and delivered to the clinic. Once they arrive, the procedure follows these stages for each eye:
- Anaesthetic eye drops numb the eye’s surface. A mild sedative may be given to help you relax, and dilating drops are used to widen the pupil.
- A small, self-sealing micro incision of around 2 to 3mm is made at the edge of the cornea.
- The folded ICL is gently inserted into the eye using a special delivery device, then unfolded and positioned in the posterior chamber — behind the iris and in front of your natural lens.
- The lens is checked for correct position and fit. In a small number of cases, such as certain hyperopic lenses, a tiny opening may be made in the iris — although the EVO Visian lens usually removes the need for this (see below).
- The micro incision self-seals, so no stitches are required.
Each eye takes around 20 to 30 minutes. At Precision Vision London, it is now standard to treat both eyes on the same day, which helps to minimise anisometropia — a difference in focus between the eyes during healing. The final approach is always agreed between you and your surgeon.
Your first post-operative check takes place the day after surgery, led by Dr Pillai and our clinical team.
The EVO Visian ICL Lenses We Use
The EVO Visian ICL is a soft, biocompatible Collamer lens that corrects distance vision without reshaping your cornea. It leaves your natural lens untouched and can be removed if your visual needs change in the future. To match each patient precisely, we select from the current EVO Visian ICL designs during your clinical work-up, with availability confirmed at consultation.
| Lens type | Corrects | Typically suited to |
|---|---|---|
| EVO Visian ICL (Simple Myopic) | Distance vision, short-sightedness | Myopic patients without significant astigmatism |
| EVO Visian Toric ICL (Toric Myopic) | Distance vision with astigmatism | Short-sighted patients who also have astigmatism |
| Hyperopic / specialist lens | Long-sightedness, with or without astigmatism | Selected hyperopic and keratoconic patients, assessed individually |
Safety-led design: the central port
We use the latest EVO Visian ICL with its central CentraFlow port — a tiny opening in the centre of the lens. This supports the natural flow of fluid within the eye and usually eliminates the need for peripheral iridotomy, the small opening in the iris that older ICLs required. Its main purpose is to maintain the eye’s natural circulation of fluid and its own regulation of intraocular pressure, while also streamlining the procedure and supporting excellent visual quality and comfort.
What ICL does and does not treat
The EVO Visian ICL corrects your distance vision. It does not correct or prevent presbyopia — the age-related need for reading glasses that develops in most people from their mid-forties. If presbyopia develops over time, you may still need reading glasses for close work, even if you have never worn them before. Patients who want a full range of vision across near, intermediate and distance may be better suited to Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), which your surgeon can discuss with you.
ICL Lens Options at Precision Vision London
The lens you receive depends on your prescription, the presence or absence of astigmatism, and the results of your full diagnostic work-up. Because we are an independent clinic with no manufacturer affiliations, every lens selection is made on clinical grounds — what suits your eye anatomy and your lifestyle.
The sections below summarise the three main EVO Visian ICL categories used at Precision Vision London. Your surgeon will confirm the specific lens at your consultation.
EVO Visian ICL (Simple Myopic)
EVO Visian ICL (Simple Myopic): Corrects distance vision in short-sighted patients without significant astigmatism. The lens is folded into a small delivery device, inserted through a 2–3mm self-sealing micro incision, and unfolded into the posterior chamber behind the iris. The cornea is preserved and your natural lens stays in place. This is the most commonly used EVO Visian ICL design and is typically suited to myopic patients within the standard prescription range.
EVO Visian Toric ICL
EVO Visian Toric ICL: Corrects distance vision in short-sighted patients who also have astigmatism. The toric design carries the astigmatic correction in the body of the lens, so a single implant addresses both myopia and astigmatism in one procedure. Accurate axis alignment is critical for toric performance, which is why we plan every toric case using high-resolution diagnostic imaging.
The Toric ICL is well suited to patients with short-sightedness combined with corneal astigmatism, particularly where the astigmatism would otherwise leave residual blur after a non-toric implant. Suitability and exact lens power are confirmed at consultation based on your biometry and topographic mapping.
Hyperopic and Specialist Lenses
Hyperopic / specialist lens: Selected long-sighted (hyperopic) patients up to approximately +12.00 dioptres can be treated with the wider Visian ICL family and individually ordered lenses. Because hyperopic cases sit outside the standard EVO indication, suitability is always assessed individually after full diagnostic testing.
We also assess selected patients with stabilised keratoconus or very high prescriptions. In these cases the lens is ordered to your specific eye measurements. Only an in-person consultation with full diagnostics can confirm what is achievable for your eyes.
After Surgery: Things to Understand Before ICL Surgery
What to expect in the weeks and months after surgery
Recovery from ICL surgery is generally quick. Many patients notice a marked improvement in vision within the first 24 hours, with vision continuing to sharpen over the following days as the eye settles. Some patients notice mild glare or halos around lights at night, especially in the first few months, which usually improves with time.
Trade-offs to understand
No vision correction procedure is without trade-offs. With ICL surgery in particular:
- Some patients notice mild glare or halos around lights at night, especially in the first few months
- A small number of patients have a residual prescription after surgery and may benefit from a fine-tuning procedure, which is included within our 12-month aftercare
- The lens does not stop the natural ageing of the eye — it does not prevent cataracts, nor does it correct presbyopia
The right vision correction for you depends on your eyes, your prescription and what matters most in your daily life. This decision is made together at your consultation, based on full diagnostic imaging — not on a default template.
Our approach revolves around prioritising your optimal well-being throughout your ICL surgery journey.
Prior to your consultation
Your first point of contact will be with Precision Vision London’s highly trained patient coordinators, who will discuss your prescription, lifestyle and suitability before any consultation fees are charged.
Treatment
ICL surgery is a day-case procedure under local anaesthetic, taking approximately 20 to 30 minutes per eye. Both eyes can usually be treated the same day. Dr Almousa performs every procedure personally.
Consultation
Your two-hour consultation includes full diagnostic imaging, biometry, topographic mapping and a personalised treatment plan discussed with your surgeon. Your custom ICL is ordered after the consultation and takes 4 to 8 weeks to be manufactured.
Aftercare
Your 12-month aftercare programme includes scheduled post-operative reviews, all medication for the first month, 24-hour telephone access, and laser fine-tuning if required — all included in the price.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Most patients notice a marked improvement in vision within 24 hours of surgery, with vision continuing to sharpen over the following days as the eye settles.
Typical recovery timeline:
- Day 1: Post-operative check with Dr Pillai and the clinical team
- Days 2–3: Vision continues to stabilise; driving is usually possible once your consultant confirms your vision meets the UK legal driving standard
- Within a few days: Most patients return to office-based work
- Up to 4 weeks: Some dryness is normal during healing and usually settles
- 6 weeks: Most restrictions on strenuous physical activity, swimming and contact sport are lifted
- Up to 12 months: Aftercare programme continues with scheduled reviews
Note: because each ICL is custom-made to your eye measurements, the lens itself takes around 4 to 8 weeks to be manufactured after your consultation. Surgery is scheduled once your lens has arrived at the clinic.
You will be given anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and lubricating eye drops to use during recovery, along with written instructions. Your clinical team remains available throughout the aftercare period.
When to Contact Us Immediately
Please contact the clinic without delay if you experience any of the following after surgery:
- Severe or worsening eye pain
- Sudden loss of vision
- Flashing lights or a sudden increase in floaters

Private ICL Surgery at Precision Vision London
ICL surgery is an elective vision correction procedure and is not funded by the NHS, so patients seeking it in the UK are treated privately.
At Precision Vision London, private care means:
- Consultant-led from start to finish. Dr Almousa performs every ICL procedure personally. You will not be treated by a trainee or rotating registrar.
- Continuity of care. You see the same clinical team across consultation, surgery, and all 12 months of aftercare.
- The EVO Visian ICL. We use the latest EVO Visian ICL with CentraFlow central port — no manufacturer affiliations influence the choice.
- No waiting lists. Consultations are typically available within one to two weeks.
- Two-hour consultation with full diagnostic imaging, not a short NHS-style review.
- 24-hour post-treatment telephone access to our clinical team.
Does Private Medical Insurance Cover ICL Surgery?
Private medical insurance policies typically do not cover elective ICL surgery, as it is classified as a form of vision correction rather than treatment for disease. Some policies may contribute towards consultation or diagnostic fees. Precision Vision London is recognised by Bupa, Cigna, Aviva, WPA, The Exeter, Allianz and Simplyhealth — please contact us with your policy details to confirm your coverage.
ICL Surgery vs Laser Eye Surgery: Which is Right for You?
Two Different Approaches to Vision Correction
Laser eye surgery (LASIK, LASEK, TransPRK) and ICL surgery are both effective forms of vision correction, but they work in very different ways.
Laser eye surgery reshapes the surface of the cornea using a laser to change how light is focused onto the retina. It removes a small amount of corneal tissue and is best suited to younger patients with moderate, stable prescriptions and healthy, adequately thick corneas.
ICL surgery does not touch the cornea at all. A flexible Collamer lens is inserted into the eye and positioned behind the iris, in front of your natural lens. ICL surgery is typically more suitable for:
- Patients with high prescriptions outside the safe range for laser surgery
- Patients with thin or irregular corneas
- Patients with dry eye, which can be aggravated by laser procedures
- Anyone who wants a reversible option where the lens can be removed in the future
An in-person consultation, including corneal mapping and a measurement of your corneal thickness, is the only reliable way to confirm which procedure is right for your eyes. Some patients who arrive expecting laser surgery find that ICL gives them a better, more stable result, and vice versa.
We will only recommend the procedure that is right for you.
What Are the Risks of ICL Surgery?
A Strong Safety Record — But Risk is Never Zero
ICL surgery is a well-established procedure with a strong safety profile, but, as with any surgery, the risk of complications is not zero. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk factors at your consultation.
According to the manufacturer’s safety information, potential risks include the need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increased intraocular pressure, and cataract formation. In practice, these complications are uncommon, and the EVO Visian lens with its central port has reduced the risks of elevated intraocular pressure and cataract formation compared with older designs.
A widely cited STAAR Surgical patient survey reported that 99.4% of EVO ICL patients said they would have the procedure again. This is a manufacturer survey figure rather than an independent clinical outcome, and individual results vary from patient to patient.
Dr Almousa will discuss your individual risk profile in full during your consultation. Informed consent is an essential part of our process.
A small rise in pressure inside the eye can occur after ICL surgery, particularly in the early period. The central CentraFlow port on the EVO Visian ICL supports the natural flow of fluid within the eye and has reduced this risk significantly compared with older designs. Pressure is monitored at every aftercare visit.
Some patients notice mild glare or halos around lights at night, especially in the first few months. These usually reduce over time as the eye and brain adapt.
ICL surgery does not prevent cataracts from forming later in life. If a cataract develops in the future, the ICL can be safely removed and standard cataract surgery can be carried out as usual. The CentraFlow design has reduced the risk of cataract formation compared with older ICLs.
A small number of patients may need a lens repositioned or exchanged if the fit is not ideal. This is uncommon when sizing is planned with current diagnostic technology.
A small number of patients have a residual prescription after surgery. This may be addressed with a fine-tuning procedure, which is included within our 12-month aftercare.
Reversible, cornea-preserving vision correction.
ICL Surgery FAQ's
ICL surgery starts at £3,500 per eye for a standard EVO Visian ICL, with prices rising for specialist and toric lenses. A comprehensive consultation costs £300, and a £1,250 deposit per eye is required to reserve treatment, which is deducted from the final cost. Finance is available subject to status.
The procedure takes around 20 to 30 minutes per eye and is performed as a day case under local anaesthetic. Your custom lenses are ordered after your consultation and can take around four to eight weeks to be manufactured.
No. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which sit on the surface of the eye and have to be removed and cleaned, the ICL is surgically placed inside your eye, behind the iris. You never have to take it out, you cannot feel it, and no one can see it.
Yes. One of the advantages of ICL surgery is that no natural tissue is removed during the procedure, so the lens can be removed or replaced in the future if your needs change or if it ever becomes necessary.
The EVO Visian ICL is made from Collamer, a material that is highly biocompatible with the eye’s natural chemistry, so rejection is not a concern in the way it might be with some other implants.
The ICL corrects your distance vision. Most patients no longer need glasses or contact lenses for distance. However, the lens does not correct presbyopia, so you may still need reading glasses for close work as you get older.
Most patients are able to drive two to three days after surgery, once their consultant has confirmed their vision meets the UK legal driving standard. Never drive until your consultant has confirmed you are safe to do so.
In some cases, yes. Provided you are within the age and prescription range and your keratoconus has stabilised, whether naturally or with corneal collagen cross-linking, ICL surgery may be an option. This is always assessed individually at your consultation.
No. ICL surgery is an elective vision correction procedure and is not funded by the NHS. It is available privately at clinics such as Precision Vision London.
ICL surgery does not prevent cataracts. If a cataract develops later in life, the ICL can be safely removed and standard cataract surgery performed as usual.
Private medical insurance policies typically do not cover elective ICL surgery, as it is classified as vision correction rather than treatment for disease. Some policies may contribute towards consultation or diagnostic fees.

Patient Reviews
Stories from ICL Patients
Below are stories from patients who have undergone ICL surgery at Precision Vision London. Each describes that individual’s own experience, and results vary from patient to patient.
“I was initially worried about having implantable contact lenses, but the level of professionalism from all the staff helped to relax me. The procedure was a lot less painful than I had imagined and seemed to be very quick. The aftercare has been extremely good. I now have 20/20 sight, from approximately -8.00, and I am extremely happy.“
— Marium H · Implantable Contact Lenses
“I had worn glasses for 25 years and more. I knew laser surgery was not an option as I was very short-sighted, so I had implantable contact lenses and am thrilled with the results. My vision is now clearer than it was with contact lenses or glasses. I would highly recommend this treatment.”
— Emma R · Implantable Contact Lens
“I knew I was not suitable for laser, so the care provided was very good from the very start. I was impressed with the thorough consultation, and the treatment itself was painless and very quick. Having the treatment has changed everything. For people with high refractive errors and astigmatism, there is hope now.”
