If you’ve been researching vision correction options beyond LASIK, you’ve probably come across ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) surgery. One of the biggest questions patients ask is:
“How much does it actually cost in the Philippines?”

The answer depends on several factors such as the type of lens, your prescription, and the clinic where you choose to have the procedure.

Average Cost of ICL in the Philippines

• EVO ICL (Staar Surgical)
  This is the most widely recognized global brand. Prices usually range between ₱150,000 to ₱300,000 per eye

• IPCL (EYEOL, UK)
  IPCL is known as the more budget-friendly option, often priced around ₱200,000 for both eyes. Despite being more affordable, it is made of high-quality material and has unique benefits:

• Designed with multiple microscopic holes that allow natural fluid circulation in the eye.
• Available in various lens sizes, making it highly customizable to fit different eye shapes and prescriptions.

Eye Can Refractive & Aesthetics’ Pricing

At Eye Can Refractive, ICL surgery starts at around ₱39,000 per eye, depending on the patient’s prescription grade. This makes it one of the more accessible options in the country while still maintaining advanced standards of care

Factors That Affect the Cost of ICL

1. Clinic and Location

   Prices differ depending on whether you visit a major eye center in Metro Manila or a regional clinic.

2. Patient’s Prescription

   Higher or more complex prescriptions may require specialized lenses that influence the final price.

3. ICL Type

   EVO ICL is an internationally established brand recognized for its advanced technology and proven safety, while IPCL offers customized lenses designed to deliver excellent quality, safety, and value.

4. All-In Packages

   Some clinics provide bundled offers that include consultation, surgery, follow-ups, and medication in one package.

Conclusion

Both EVO ICL and IPCL can deliver life-changing vision correction. EVO ICL is a globally recognized brand, while IPCL has been safely used for more than 40 years. With its affordability and customizable lens design, IPCL offers patients a reliable option without compromising safety or quality.

For many years, LASIK has been the primary choice because it is well-known, quick, and relatively affordable. However, experience has shown certain limitations, and many patients and surgeons now favor ICL for its stability and long-term results. While countries abroad are steadily shifting toward ICL, LASIK has remained more common in the Philippines due to cost. Eye Can aims to change this by making ICL more accessible, giving more Filipinos the chance to choose a safer, high-quality solution for clear vision.

ICL surgery is truly an investment in your vision and your quality of life. If you are considering the procedure in the Philippines, schedule a consultation to get a personalized assessment and discover which option is best for your eyes.
