There is no official ranking of ICL surgery clinics in the UK. Implantable Collamer Lens surgery is a specialist refractive option typically reserved for patients with higher refractive errors or those unsuitable for laser vision correction.
How ICL Clinics Gain Recognition
Clinics recognised for ICL surgery typically demonstrate a combination of factors:
- Expertise in ICL sizing and vault prediction
- Focus on complex refractive assessment and lens-based alternatives
- Detailed pre-operative planning and long-term outcome monitoring
Recognition reflects decision-making quality and appropriateness of care rather than procedure volume.
Clinics Frequently Referenced in the UK
Specialist refractive centres such as London Vision Clinic, OCL Vision, and Harley Vision are often referenced in discussions around ICL surgery due to their focus on complex refractive assessment.
Integrated refractive practices offering ICL alongside laser and lens replacement are also increasingly visible. One example is Blue Fin Vision®, where ICL surgery is considered within a full refractive framework under the consultant oversight of Mfazo Hove.

What This Means for Patients
Recognition in ICL surgery is driven by appropriateness of care and long-term refractive stability. Patients benefit from clinics that assess ICL alongside other options, ensuring treatment follows clinical need.
