Lens implant if not suitable for lasik surgery
For those whom have severe myopia, or other conditions rendering their eyes unacceptable for lasik surgery, there is another solution now.
A razor thin lens can be implanted into the eye to correct their vision instead of lasik surgery. The procedure takes about 10 mins and the effects are almost similar to lasik, ie corrected and improved vision.
The cost however, are about 2-3 times more expensive than lasik when compared within Singapore. $3000-$5000 per eye.
Implantable contact lens (ICL), is not new in Singapore and the first ICL surgery had been done in Singapore in 2005.
One of the clinics offering the procedure is Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).
