The Visian ICL is an intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in the eye to correct vision. It is used for people who are nearsighted or farsighted and cannot have LASIK surgery by an ophthalmologist.
The Visian ICL is made of a flexible material that is folded and inserted into the eye through a small incision. Once in place, the ICL unfolds and stays in the eye permanently.
Benefits of Visian ICL
The Visian ICL has several benefits over other types of corrective lenses.
- It can provide better vision than glasses or contact lenses.
- It does not require any care after it is implanted.
- It reduces the risk of developing cataracts later in life.
Visian ICL vs Lasik
There are a few key differences between the Visian ICL and LASIK surgery. The Visian ICL is an implantable lens, while LASIK is a surgical procedure that changes the shape of the cornea. The Visian ICL can be removed if necessary, while LASIK is permanent. The Visian ICL does not require any recovery time, while LASIK may have a short recovery period. Finally, the Visian ICL may be a better option for people with very high levels of myopia or nearsightedness.
If you are considering the Visian ICL or LASIK surgery, talk to your eye doctor to see if either option is correct.
