ICL (Implantable Collamer® Lens)

Why Choose Us for ICL?

Why Choose Us?

Dr. Tan has been certified by STAAR® Surgical Company in 2006 to perform the implantation of Visian ICL. The certification is a mandatory requirement for physicians who are implanting the Visian ICL lens.

We are the only clinic in Singapore to use the ArcScan Insight® 100 high frequency ultrasound to assess the sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) dimension in your eye. This allows us to choose the size of your ICL with better precision. Most centers do not purchase this device as it is extremely expensive.

The Insight® 100 is used to examine the internal structures of the eye. It is unique because it enables us to easily obtain stunning high resolution images in micron precision. Only the Insight® 100 allows the surgeon to gain an understanding of where the lens implant is going to fit in your eye.

Sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) measurement using the ArcScan Insight® 100

Most centers are assessing the diameter of your cornea "white-to-white" (WTW) measurement and extrapolating this information to obtain the sulcus-to-sulcus measurement. However studies have shown that there is NO correlation between the diameter of the cornea (WTW) and the sulcus-to-sulcus measurement. Therefore the sizing of the ICL from WTW measurement can be very inaccurate.
