ICL is a special type of contact lens that can be implanted permanently inside the eye, (behind the pupil), to correct the vision of patients who suffers from sever short sight (up to–25.00) or long sight (up to + 12.00) that are not correctable with LASIK surgery. At the Sharif Eye Center we are the only Eye Center in Jordan to be recognized by "Staar Technologies", the manufacturers of ICL in Switzerland, to be experienced and qualified to provide this technology for our patients.

The ICL procedure takes only 10 minutes per eye and the visual recovery is rapid. We offer this technology to our patients who have very high short sight, (over minus 12) or high long sight (over plus 5). It is also offered to patients for whom LASIK could not be performed due to lack of good corneal thickness ( Cornea that is too thin ).
