At the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center, Dr. Sandy T. Feldman meets with patients from Solano Beach, Poway and all over San Diego who are looking to get rid of their glasses or contact lenses with laser vision correction. However, while not all patients are candidates for LASIK surgery, other options are available. For example, patients that are moderately to highly nearsighted may be good candidates for Implantable Contact Lenses.

A good Implantable Contact Lens candidate will:

• Suffer from moderate to severe nearsightedness

• Does not qualify for or want to have LASIK or another laser vision correction procedure like PRK [photorefractive keratectomy]

• Has a stable prescription and healthy eyes

• Is between the ages of 21 and 45 • Has not had previous ophthalmic surgery

• Does not have a history of eye disease such as iritis, glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
