Visian Implantable Contact Lenses

Phakic intraocular lenses, also known as implantable contact lenses (ICLs), are lenses that are inserted into the eye and work with the natural lens to correct nearsightedness .  The Visian Intraocular lens was the first of its kind to be approved for use in the United States.  It has been used successfully to treat vision disorders for over 15 years. 


 The Visian ICL does not alter the structure of the eye.  The lens is inserted inside of the eye and works with cornea and lens of the eye in order to achieve clear, crisp vision.  For more about the Visian Lens, click here.
