ICL lens surgery using a low-contact method in near-sighted eyes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific, “viscoelastic-free” technique for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery is safe and works well for people with stable near-sightedness. It may help by improving the way the lens is inserted while closely monitoring eye safety and vision results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your eyeglass prescription for near-sightedness has been stable for at least 1 year (within 0.5 diopters)
- Your vision with glasses is 20/40 or better
- Your eye’s cornea (front clear window) is clear in the center
- Your near-sightedness is between about -0.5 and -18 diopters
- Your cornea cell count is healthy (endothelial cell density above 2000 cells per square mm)

This study is testing a special lens that is placed inside the eye without removing the natural lens, to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness. It may offer a long-term alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
This study tests an implantable lens (called an ICL) that is placed inside the eye to correct vision. It may be an option for people who are not good candidates for LASIK or other laser eye surgeries.
This study looks at how your current eyesight prescription relates to specific front-eye measurements to help choose the right implant (ICL) and its space (vault). It may help patients who have high myopia or astigmatism and can’t safely have LASIK.
This study tests if a computer model can look at images of your eye to help predict whether ICL surgery (a type of vision correction) will work well. It may help find the best lens size for people with nearsightedness.
This study compares three different methods to correct nearsightedness: SMILE laser, ICL implantable lenses, and Wavelight Plus laser. The goal is to find which works best for you.
This study tests two types of implantable lenses that correct astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea). You keep your own natural lens, and the new lens is placed in front of it—no laser or lens removal needed. The goal is to see which lens works better and is safer.
