Can I play contact sports after an ICL surgery?

As a procedure that involves placing the ICL into the limited internal space of the eye, the main risks are to the surrounding structures during the surgery as well as post-surgery. Firstly, the clear, natural lens of the eye may develop a cataract due to the ICL surgery, although this risk seems to be lowered with the new ICL design (EVO Visian ICL with KS port). Secondly, there is also a risk of the eye developing glaucoma, either temporarily after the surgery, or gradually in the long term.

Typically, most clinics charge upwards of $10,000 for ICL surgery for two eyes. In general, the cost for ICL surgery depends on three main factors: The doctor performing the surgery Where the surgery is being performed The eye power being treated Facility fees may or may not be included in the surgical fees. Facility fees for surgery performed at a more established surgical setting (such as reputable, centrally located hospital operating theatre versus a standalone day surgery centre) is generally higher.
