What is a Phakic Intraocular Lens?
A Phakic Intraocular Lens is also known as an implantable contact lenses. The lenses look like regular contact lenses or crescent-shaped segments. These lenses are implanted surgically without removing the eye’s natural lens. They are placed between the cornea and the iris or just behind the iris of the eye.
These lenses treat nearsightedness and are currently being developed to treat farsightedness and astigmatism. To see if implantable lenses are right for you, contact ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center.
