ICLs are very very safe procedures. These procedures are also US-FDA approved, which means they have been given safety clearance for Human Eyes. However, like any other surgical procedure, it can have some complications which are extremely rare if a proper screening check is done before the process. Some of the risks include infection, increased intraocular pressure, and the possibility of accidental damage to the crystalline lens during the procedure. Some patients may experience some discomfort during the healing process (like dry eyes, light sensitivity), but these effects are temporary. Your doctor will discuss with you the risks and benefits of the procedure during your consultation. Nobody in our surgical experience has ever lost sight due to this procedure.
