In Singapore, the most common reasons for ICL surgery are:
- High myopia
- High astigmatism
- Thin or irregular cornea not meeting criteria for LASIK
- Patients with complications from previous LASIK needing correction
- Patients with regression of power after previous LASIK who cannot have further enhancements
- Those who simply prefer the ICL over LASIK, having been fully informed of the pros and cons of all options
- Patients who had previous cataract surgery and wish to correct significant residual eye power
The newest model of the ICL (the EVO Visian ICL by Staar Surgical which has additional safety feature called the KS aquaport) is recently CE-approved for patients from 21 up to 60 years old.
