IMPORTANT: If you experienced problems related to implantable contact lenses, the FDA wants to hear from you. File a MedWatch report with the FDA online. Alternatively, you may call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to report by telephone, or download a copy of the paper form and either fax it to 1-800-FDA-0178 or mail it using the postage-paid addressed form. Read implantable lens injury reports filed with the FDA (enter product code MTA, select a date range, and click search).

Please note that the ICL is an implantable lens for phakic eyes (those that still have their natural lens). This is a different category of lens than an IOL (a replacement lens implanted during cataract surgery, after removal of the natural lens).
