49. ICL vs LASIK - Is Implantable Lens Surgery Better for High Prescriptions? (Dr. Avi Wallerstein)
Tuesday, 26 May, 2026
Implantable collamer lenses, or ICLs, have evolved from a niche alternative for extreme prescriptions into a mainstream refractive option that is increasingly being chosen over LASIK—even for some ideal LASIK candidates. In this episode, we explore what changed: the history of the procedure, how ICL surgery is performed, the real risks and safety considerations, and how the visual outcomes compare with LASIK. We also dive into higher-order aberrations, stability of refraction, regression, and whether ICLs may offer superior quality of vision in certain patients. Refractive surgery expert Dr. Avi Wallerstein joins the podcast.
