ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a vision correction procedure where a biocompatible lens is implanted inside the eye, ideal for patients with high myopia or thin corneas who are not LASIK candidates. Price depends on lens type — standard spherical ICL is less expensive, while toric ICL (which also corrects astigmatism) costs more. The degree of myopia affects lens specifications and cost, and pricing is typically per eye. Pre-operative testing, including endothelial cell count and anterior chamber depth measurement, may be bundled or charged separately. China is one of the world's highest-volume markets for ICL surgery, driving competitive pricing at 40–60% below US costs with Visian ICL (STAAR Surgical) lenses.
