During lens implantation, an ultra-thin artificial lens (ICL) is inserted into the eye through a tiny opening and positioned in front of the natural lens. It permanently corrects refractive errors and is neither visible nor noticeable.

A thorough pre-examination determines all relevant measurements for your lens implantation. On the day of the procedure, only minimal preparation is required – ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.
Special eye drops gently numb your eyes locally. The treatment is completely painless. You remain awake and relaxed, without placing any strain on your body.
The ultra-thin artificial lens is inserted into the eye through a tiny opening and positioned in front of the natural lens. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is painless.
Healing is usually quick and uncomplicated. Most patients notice a significant improvement shortly after the procedure and achieve their full visual acuity after about one to two weeks.
Whether you have very high refractive errors or a thin cornea – ICL lens implantation offers a safe and reversible solution for clear vision.
Each ICL lens is custom-made for your eye. The high-quality material is not perceived as a foreign body and also provides UV protection.
ICL is reversible: the ultra-thin lens is placed in front of the natural lens and can be removed or replaced if necessary.
Ideal for severe refractive errors: when laser eye surgery is not possible due to high dioptre values, ICL provides an excellent alternative.
Lens implantation is also possible with a thin cornea or dry eyes. The structure of your cornea remains unchanged.

Whether lens implantation or laser treatment is more suitable is determined during a pre-examination. Both procedures are safe and well established. However, lens implantation offers key advantages when laser treatment is not possible due to a very thin cornea, extremely dry eyes or very high refractive errors. Lens implantation is also reversible.
ICL lenses usually remain in the eye for a lifetime. Because the natural lens is preserved, the procedure is reversible. The implanted lens can therefore be removed at any time or replaced with a new lens if your prescription changes.
After the artificial lenses are implanted in your eyes, it usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks to reach full visual acuity. In some cases, it may take longer. The complete healing process typically takes around 4 to 8 weeks.
Lens implantation is a safe and well-established treatment method for correcting severe refractive errors. In rare cases, eye conditions such as infections may occur after implantation. However, these can usually be treated effectively.
Lens implantation with ICL lenses is reversible. Since the natural lens of the eye remains completely intact during the procedure, the artificial lens can be removed from the eye at any time, for example if your prescription changes and you wish to replace the lens.
At EuroEyes, lens implantation costs CHF 4,480 per eye. Unlike many other providers, everything is included in the price: from the eye check and main examination to the treatment and follow-up appointments. If you wish, you can also pay in convenient instalments.
During a free and non-binding 30-minute initial consultation on site, we will determine together which treatment option is suitable for you.
