Implantable contact lens is a corrective lens that is permanently implanted in the cornea of the eye through a tiny incision. .Implantable contact lens offers a safe, effective and permanent solution for people with moderate to high myopia, and relieves them from the burden of having to wear glasses to rectify their vision problems. Implantable contact lens is also known by the term implantable collamer lens, a term preferred by FDA.

User friendly

Implantable contact lens is user friendly and is made out of a material called collamer, a blend of collagen and polyhema, a common lens material. It can be folded in to a tiny roll and unfolded after it is implanted in the eye. The surgeon just needs to make a 3 millimeter incision in the eye only, and it comes with no stitches. Implantable contact lens also proved more effective than LASIK in people with greater myopia
