Hello Doctor, I am considering ICL surgery to correct my vision. During a recent eye exam, the doctor noticed tiny cataract dots in both eyes and showed them on a slit-lamp monitor. I would like your advice on: Whether ICL is safe for me now given these small cataract dots.Recommendations for monitoring these cataract dots.

If you have a central cataract , do not go for ICL. Better go for RLE after a thorough retina examination. Iam a cornea , cataract , refractive surgeon. You may consult with me online.
