Is it different from IOL?

I am into 3rd year after IOL in one eye, no problems, excellent vision. Take a look, search "phaco---" on Youtube. It is not cheap and requires a few follow ups for payment but very easy procedure.

Lasik cannot be undone and may leave the eye unsuitable for phaco later if you need it. I don't understand the statement about increasing chances for cataracts, since the lens is removed and replaced with plastic.

European friends decided to do it at home because follow-ups and guarantees are included free for life under their insurance.

It is different. I presume yours would be a Pseudophakic IOL that replaces the natural crystalline lens.

ICLs are Phakic IOLs, which do not replace the natural crystalline lens. Rather, it is embedded in front of the lens, and can be removed if necessary.
