The eye is numbed with drops — the procedure involves little pain and takes only a few minutes per eye.
The implantable contact lens
ICL — sharp vision without removing corneal tissue.
A wafer-thin, individually tailored artificial lens is placed in addition to your natural lens — gentle on tissue, precise and reversible. Ideal when laser treatment is not the right solution.
“I can only recommend the practice and its staff — this step was one of my best decisions.”

- Very gentle on tissue, precisely adjustable

How the procedure works
The folded add-on lens is inserted through a tiny opening and unfolds behind the iris.
The lens settles into position — vision usually improves shortly afterwards.

Or go straight for a lens exchange?
If presbyopia is setting in, a refractive lens exchange with multifocal premium lenses is often the more lasting solution — sharp vision up close, at intermediate distance and far away.
MIOL – Refractive lens exchangeFrequently asked questions
Who is the ICL suitable for?
Mainly for people with a high prescription, thin corneas or dry eyes — where laser treatment reaches its limits. The free pre-assessment will show whether your eyes are suitable.
Can you feel or see the lens?
No. The ICL sits protected behind the iris — it cannot be felt, is not visible from the outside and requires no care.
Is the procedure reversible?
Yes. The ICL can be removed or replaced if necessary — your natural lens is preserved. That is what sets it apart from the laser methods.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
As a rule, the ICL is considered a private medical service. For this, we offer a transparent fixed price that includes all follow-up checks — and flexible instalment payments.
