Treating Nearsightedness with Implantable Contact Lenses

One of the most sought after benefits of implantable contact lenses is their convenience. After ICL implantation, patients are able to more thoroughly enjoy activities, especially water sports like swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving.

The STAAR Visian lens was the first of its kind to be approved for use in the U.S. This lens is used to treat nearsightedness and is surgically implanted into the eye, behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. Once in this position, the Visian lens improves your vision by optimizing the way light enters your eye. Currently, there are more than 80,000 patients with the Visian lens implanted with a satisfaction rate of over 99 percent.
