The Visian ICL is a revolutionary solution for people suffering from moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness). FDA-approved in 2005, the Visian ICL is essentially a permanent contact lens that is implanted inside the eye. It is a great option for those who are not candidates for, or would prefer not to have, the LASIK procedure.
Benefits of Visian ICL
Great results: can provide the freedom to see without glasses or contacts
Maintenance-free: permanent solution to annoying contact lenses
Removable: can be removed if results are inadequate, although patients rarely request to do so
Invisible: cannot be seen by the naked eye
Minimally invasive: implanting is fast and virtually painless
How well does the Visian ICL work?
In a three-year FDA clinical trial, the Visian ICL proved remarkably accurate:
99% of Visian ICL patients were either satisfied or highly satisfied with their visual outcomes
98.3% of patients were able to drive a car without the need for any corrective eyewear
After the Visian ICL procedure, the correction was stable and did not adjust during the post-operative follow-up period
The instances of halos, glare, night vision problems, double vision and night driving difficulties remained unchanged from prior to the procedure
