The Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) provides vision correction that goes beyond LASIK.

Implantable Contact Lenses are a reversible procedure.

Implantable contact lenses (ICLs) are designed for patients with moderate to severe nearsightedness or thin corneas, and can often provide a visual outcome that is even better than Lasik.

The eye surgeons at Yaldo Eye Center use the new Visian ICL™ to give vision correction that is sharper, clearer and more vivid, with both greater depth and dimension. Unlike other ICLs, the Visian ICL is made of collagen-based Collamer which is biocompatible with the eye and may provide superior optical performance. What's more, the Visian ICL has a UV blocker that actually prevents harmful UVA and UVB rays from entering the eye, possibly preventing the development of cataracts and some retinal problems.

Using a self-sealing, micro incision, the foldable Visian ICL is placed in front of the eye's natural lens and behind the iris to correct nearsightedness. The entire lens insertion procedure can take as little as 15 minutes as an outpatient in Yaldo Eye Center's surgery suite. As a rule, both eyes are done on he same day. And, the ICL is easily reversible should a better Advanced Vision Correction become available, unlike Lasik which is permanent. In fact, the ICL is the only "reversible" vision correction option available today.

There have been over 80,000 Visian implants performed worldwide. When asked about the procedure, over 99% of the patients were highly satisfied. See if the Visian ICL is the Advanced Vision Correction for you at Yaldo Eye Center.
