Why Choose Blue Fin Vision® for ICL Surgery in London?
When searching for the best ICL surgery in London, it is crucial to select an eye clinic with a proven track record of clinical excellence, advanced technology, and a truly personalised approach. Blue Fin Vision® stands out as a top-rated provider of ICL surgery, with locations on Harley Street, Weymouth Street, and Chase Lodge Hospital in London. Our commitment to quality, safety, and patient-centred care makes us the preferred choice for London ICL surgery.
Comprehensive Clinical Testing – Included as Standard
At Blue Fin Vision®, we believe in going above and beyond for patient safety and results. That is why we include thorough pre- and post-operative clinical testing as part of your care package:
- Endothelial Cell Density Measurement: We assess your corneal endothelial cell count before and after surgery to monitor corneal health. This is vital for long-term safety, as these cells do not regenerate.
- Vault Measurements: We routinely measure the vault (the space between your ICL and natural lens) post-operatively to ensure optimal lens positioning and reduce the risk of complications.
- Yearly Post-Op Review: Annual follow-up appointments are included at no extra cost to monitor your eye health and vision stability.
Most clinics either do not have the equipment for these advanced tests or charge extra for each one. At Blue Fin Vision®, all these essential assessments are included in your package price – no hidden fees, just complete care.
What Is ICL Surgery?
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is a revolutionary vision correction procedure designed for patients with short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism, especially those unsuitable for laser eye surgery. The procedure involves placing a soft, biocompatible lens inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of your natural lens, to correct your vision without altering the cornea.
Key Benefits of ICL Surgery:
- Suitable for high prescriptions and thin corneas
- Reversible and removable
- Quick recovery, with most patients seeing improvement within 24 hours
- Built-in UV protection
- Stable, long-term vision correction
According to Mr Mfazo Hove, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Blue Fin Vision®, “Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is an excellent option for patients seeking a reversible, highly precise refractive correction, especially those unsuitable for laser treatments. At Blue Fin Vision®, we utilise advanced techniques and comprehensive pre-operative assessments to deliver safe, customised ICL procedures that provide outstanding visual clarity and patient satisfaction across London.”

"My rating of 5/5 reflects not only the surgery which was first rate and has been hugely successful, but the attention before and afterwards and the manner in which Mr Hove dealt with me. I could not be happier with how the whole process went in regard to my dealings with him, and I don't think I will ever stop being grateful to him for giving me the gift of sight without glasses or contacts."
