What is ICR?

ICR is the abbreviation for Intra-Corneal Ring. They are semicircular plastic rings that can be implanted within the cornea to reshape the corneal curvature.

Implantation of ICR is a refractive surgery to correct low myopia without any tissue removal.

ICRs cannot be felt by the patient and requires no maintenance. It is also a reversible procedure. ICRs can be removed or replaced if any adjustment is needed. ICRs are suitable for patients with mild nearsightedness, and without significant astigmatism.
