Have you ever been told you are not a candidate for LASIK or PRK?

The STAAR Visian ICL may be the answer. The ICL is a intraocular lens that is inserted into the eye and work with the natural lens. Unlike corneal refractive surgery, such as LASIK and PRK, the Visian ICL does not alter the structure of the eye, or involve tissue removal. Instead, the lens is inserted inside of the eye and works with the eye's natural optical system (cornea and lens) to enhance its performance.
The Visian ICL requires a small opening during a short surgical procedure with an almost immediate improvement in visual acuity. This extremely quick visual recovery is one of the many reasons surgeons choose this phakic IOL technology for vision correction.

While the Visian ICL is meant to be a permanent solution for vision correction, the lenses are removable should the need ever arise. This benefit makes the Visian ICL an attractive alternative to corneal-based refractive surgery. The Visian ICL provides superior quality of vision compared to the results of corneal refractive procedures. It is the ideal choice for patients with the highest expectations of their refractive correction procedures.
