Shinagawa LASIK Clinic Updates ICL Treatment Pricing

The Shinagawa LASIK Clinic, known for its excellent vision correction services, is making significant strides towards enhancing the accessibility of ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) treatments. Starting from July 1, 2026, the clinic will introduce a price reduction, making it more affordable for individuals who have long hesitated to seek this vision correction option due to the cost.

ICL has emerged as a popular choice for correcting myopia, offering the prospect of a maintenance-free life without glasses or contact lenses. However, the cost has often been a barrier for many potential patients. Understanding this concern, Shinagawa LASIK Clinic aims to lower this hurdle with the upcoming price change.

Details of the Price Change

Effective from July 1, 2026, patients can expect a price drop of 20,000 yen for ICL treatments where the myopia degree is less than -4D. The new price will be 407,000 yen (including tax) for both eyes, down from the previous price of 427,000 yen. For those requiring toric lenses for astigmatism, an additional fee of 100,000 yen will still apply, while those with a myopia degree of -4D or more will incur an extra cost of 110,000 yen. Patients should note that a deposit of 190,000 yen for the lens cost is required upon booking the treatment. This new pricing structure is designed to be clear and straightforward, ensuring that patients are not faced with unexpected additional charges based on age or the day of the week.

To facilitate access, Shinagawa LASIK Clinic also offers installment payment options starting at just 3,600 yen per month for 60 months, interest-free, excluding the lens cost.

What is ICL?

ICL, short for Implantable Contact Lens, is an advanced method for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The lenses are made from Collamer, a biocompatible hydrophilic material that is less likely to be recognized as a foreign object by the eye. Approved as a high-spec medical device by the Japanese Ministry of Health in February 2010, ICL offers a range of benefits. Unlike LASIK surgery, ICL does not require corneal reshaping, which eliminates concerns about losing vision clarity due to corneal issues. Moreover, the placement of ICL is such that it remains virtually invisible, and users don’t have to deal with the daily maintenance that comes with conventional contact lenses.

The clinic uses a specific type of ICL known as hole ICL, which has a small aperture in the center of the lens. This innovative design significantly reduces the risk of developing post-treatment cataracts, thus enhancing safety. Shinagawa LASIK Clinic is proud to have received recognition from STAAR Surgical for conducting the highest number of ICL cases in Japan for 2025, continuing a streak of seven consecutive years of accolades. As of the end of March 2026, the clinic has successfully conducted over 120,000 procedures, showcasing its solid track record in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions about ICL

• - What type of ICL do you use?

We use the hole ICL manufactured by STAAR Surgical, approved by the FDA in 2005 and as a high-spec medical device in Japan in 2010. The lenses are soft and foldable, allowing for a small incision of about 3mm that heals naturally with just eye drops, eliminating the need for stitches.

• - Are the doctors certified specialists?

Only certified specialists perform the procedure at our clinic, with a team of 25 certified doctors, including 8 leading instructors.

• - Is hospitalization required for the treatment?

The ICL procedure is an outpatient treatment, meaning no hospitalization is necessary.

• - Is the treatment covered by insurance?

Naturally, this is a private fee treatment and may not be covered; however, some life insurance or medical insurance plans may provide benefits. We also advise you to check with your insurance provider regarding the procedure.

• - Can others tell I have lenses?

As the lenses are placed behind the iris, they cannot be seen by others.

• - What is the maintenance like?

There is no everyday maintenance required, though periodic check-ups are necessary post-treatment.
