The Visian ICL is used to help improve your vision and helps treat high prescriptions, especially when patients may not be good candidates for LASIK.. The Visian ICL is an insert that is placed behind the cornea that looks much like a contact lens and works with your natural lens to help you see.
There are several benefits of using the Visian ICL:
No Maintenance: Though the Visian ICL works like a contact it requires no maintenance, or solutions. Once it is in place behind the color portion of your eye you do nothing.
Can be Reversed: The procedure allows for the Visian ICL to be removed if needed for any reason. For example if your prescription changes, which rarely happens, etc.
Procedure takes only about 30 minutes to complete: The procedure is relatively quick and takes only about 30 minutes for both eyes to complete.
Little Recovery time: unlike some procedures the Visian ICL has little recovery time allowing for you to have a quick return to work. Most patients return to work the next day.
The Visian ICL uses collamer which is a bio-compatible material that is placed in the eye and will not breakdown like other types of material. This allows the ICLS to stay in place indefinitely, without the need to replacement later. The Visian ICL doesn't require any invasive procedures which allows it to be reversed easily as your prescription changes or any other reason that comes up.
