What is the ICL journey like?
How did Rochelle decide on the ICL over Lasik? What was the first consult like? Come with us to the operating theatre too and then finish off with her Cosplay dress up.

Dr Cheryl Lee's ICl experience
I have been an ICL doctor for more than a decade, teaching as well as being an expert opinion leader globally.

Gold standard ICl measurements
Problems with ICL outcome can be prevented by correct ICL sizing. For me, we would not have a patient take risks that can be prevented.

My ICL write ups
Myopia is so common and I have wanted to create awareness of the options available so patients can make informed choices
Curious to what an ICL procedure is like?
An animated video-nothing scary at all
Save the Cornea!
Why do we keep harping on not thinning the cornea which happens in laser refractive surgery?
NO dry eyes
In Lasik, layers of the cornea are removed so nerves that produce tears that are in the cornea are removed too. That’s why the eyes become dry. Not great when we have to work with devices and with women, dry eyes worsen with menopause.
Long term stable vision
The cornea remains strong so the vision remains strong
In Lasik as layers of the cornea are removed, the cornea’s biomechanics is weaker and hence the myopia can return with time.
No reading glasses
Your choices for lenses for vision correction when you need cataract surgery are limited after Laser surgery.
ICl is special. It is reversible
The first symptom of cataracts is presbyopia/老花
Much less painful, many have only mild discomfort
Way quicker recovery
No eye patch after surgery. You are walking, shopping and going home independently after surgery.
Why ? Because the 2mm incision is tinier than any other vision correction procedure.
