ICL doesn't increase the IOP by its sheer volume, it increases or changes the IOP due to its proximity to the iris where it disrupts the flow of aqueous humor.

Generally increases for 3-4 days. But comes back to normal eventually. IOP rise for the short time after surgery should not be a criteria to get or not get ICL surgery done.
