Implantable
Refractive Lenses
The
Visian ICL is an implantable contact lens that works with the
eye to correct vision. Unlike traditional contact lenses that
go on the surface of the eye, Visian ICL is surgically inserted
into the eye where it provides excellent quality of vision for
a wide range of correction needs.
Although
similar to cataract surgery, the natural lens is not removed
during the Visian ICL procedure. The lens is implanted into the
posterior chamber of the eye behind the iris and in front of
the natural lens. It is not attached to any structures within
the eye and is designed to stay in position. You enjoy a natural
cosmetic appearance because, after it is inserted, the Visian
ICL is invisible both to you and anybody else.
The
lens is designed to remain in the eye indefinitely without any
maintenance for a lifetime of clear vision. Should your vision
change, it can be removed by a simple surgical procedure.
Because
the Visian ICL is implanted into the eye, it is suitable for
many patients who might not be candidates for LASIK. Patients
with extreme or special vision correction needs or patients with
thin corneas may benefit from Visian ICL technology.
