The Visian ICL Advantage

• “Next generation” technology for vision correction

• Over 125,000 lenses implanted worldwide

• Refractive surgery option that does not involve the cornea, laser or microkeratome

• Provides excellent “Quality of Vision”

Just because someone’s visual acuity is 20/20 doesn’t mean that they have good quality of vision.  LASIK produces more induced aberrations than does the ICL

• Does not change the shape of the eye

Additive vs. subtractive procedure

• Surgical procedure familiar to the cataract surgeon

• May be removed or replaced, if necessary

• Invisible to the patient and observers

Only the examining MD/OD will know the lens is in place

• Immediate visual recovery

• Small incision surgery

• Lens is made of an “organic,” highly biocompatible material called Collamer

• UV protection
