A Vision Solution for High Prescriptions & Thin Corneas
Do you have very high prescriptions, thin corneas, or have been told you’re not a good candidate for LASIK or PRK? ICL surgery (Implantable Collamer Lens) may be the life-changing solution you’ve been waiting for.
At Excel Laser Vision Institute, we offer ICL surgery in Los Angeles County and Orange County, providing a safe, reversible alternative to laser eye surgery—all under the care of Harvard-trained refractive surgeon Dr. Ferzaad Moosa.
What Is ICL Surgery?
ICL is an advanced procedure where a soft, flexible lens is implanted in your eye—like a permanent contact lens you never have to clean or remove. It’s invisible, comfortable, and effective, delivering clear, sharp vision from the inside out.
- No removal of corneal tissue
- Corrects moderate to severe nearsightedness and astigmatism
- Great for thin corneas or dry eyes
- Reversible and upgradeable if needed later
Am I a Candidate for ICL?
You may be a great fit for ICL if:
- You’re between 21–45 years old
- Have stable vision for at least one year
- Have high myopia, with or without astigmatism
- Have been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK
- Prefer a non-laser, reversible option
Why Patients Choose ICL Surgery
- Sharper Vision – Many patients report better-than-glasses clarity
- No Dry Eye Concerns – ICL does not interfere with corneal nerves
- Preserves Natural Eye Structure – Keeps your cornea and lens intact
- UV Protection – Built-in filter for added eye safety
- Future Flexibility – The lens can be removed or upgraded later
How ICL Works – What to Expect
- Detailed Eye Exam – We use advanced diagnostics to confirm you’re a candidate
- Quick Procedure – Outpatient surgery takes about 15–30 minutes per eye
- Fast Results – Most patients notice clearer vision in just 24 hours
