ICL, are contact lenses that are surgically inserted into the eye. They provide excellent quality of vision with predictable and stable results. And are removable.

I had both eyes done last January and found that Valley Laser Eye Centre and Dr John Blaylock was the best place I could’ve chosen. John is certainly a master at what he does and the centre is outfitted with the finest equipment. John is such a great guy. The staff at the centre are all well trained, efficient and so nice. I would highly recommend Valley Laser Eye Centre.

Both eyes – cataracts out, multifocal implants in.
VERY thorough and professional throughout. As expected and hoped for results thus far. Cannot imagine a better specialist to undergo this with.
Office and clinical staff are also top notch.

Like everyone else I was terrified about any kind of eye surgery. I had decent vision, just wanted that sharp vision back. Went in just for a consultation to see and wow, the staff and knowledge they have is just amazing. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Blaylock, THANK YOU!!!
