Glasses and contact lenses are no longer the only way to correct refractive errors. Thanks to advances in ophthalmology, intraocular lens implantation offers a long-term solution that frees patients from daily dependence on eyewear and restores clear, natural vision.
In this article, Dr. Rami Bassiony and Dr. Khaled Bassiony, both consultants in eye surgery, explain everything you need to know about this modern technique and when it's the right choice.
Intraocular Colamer Lens (ICL) implantation involves inserting a flexible biocompatible lens between the iris and the natural lens, preserving the eye’s natural lens. This operation is expertly performed by Dr. Khaled Bassiony and Dr. Rami Bassiony, offering an excellent alternative for patients unsuitable for LASIK or femtosecond laser surgery.
According to Dr. Khaled Bassiony, this procedure provides significant advantages, including:
Sharper, stable vision, even in low light
Quick and safe procedure without removing the natural lens
Permanent but removable solution
Does not cause dry eye, unlike LASIK procedures
Immediate results, noticeable within days
Dr. Rami Bassiony emphasizes the importance of thorough preoperative assessment, which includes:
Measuring corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth
Precise refraction and vision testing
Comprehensive retinal and optic nerve examination
Selecting the optimal lens based on individual eye metrics
Performed under local anesthesia using topical drops
A tiny corneal incision is made
The foldable lens is inserted behind the iris
No sutures are needed—natural healing closes the incision
Patients go home the same day and often experience vision improvement within a few days
If you have high myopia, a thin cornea, or are unsuitable for laser correction, Dr. Khaled Bassiony and Dr. Rami Bassiony can determine whether this procedure is the ideal solution. They use globally accepted techniques to ensure the best visual outcome.
Intraocular lens implantation isn’t just effective—it’s a dependable, long-lasting solution delivered by experts like Dr. Rami Bassiony and Dr. Khaled Bassiony, ideal for anyone seeking freedom from glasses and contacts.
