Visian Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)

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.

The Visian ICL is based on many years of research and development in adapting the proven technology of the IOL (intraocular lens) used for cataract surgery. The IOL cataract procedure is familiar to ophthalmologists and is performed safely on millions of patients each year. While the technology is similar, the Visian ICL procedure differs from cataract surgery as the natural lens is not removed from the eye. Instead, the Visian ICL is placed in front of the natural lens and works with it to correct vision.

If you are nearsighted, you may be a candidate for Visian ICL. There are many unique advantages of the lens, including the fact that you may qualify for surgery, even if you have been turned down for LASIK or other surgical procedures.

The Visian ICL provides excellent quality of vision with predictable and stable results. It is inserted through a micro incision and is invisible to both you and observers. It requires no maintenance.

The Visian ICL is capable of correcting a wide range of nearsightedness and is removable if necessary. The lens is made from Collamer, a soft, flexible lens material offering unparalleled biocompatibility.
