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 iLASIK. Patients with extreme or special
vision correction needs or patients with thin corneas may benefit from
Visian ICL technology.
