Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)
For most patients seeking correction of their refractive error, LASIK is a safe and effective method of correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.In fact, LASIK surgery is still the most common procedure to help those wishing to eliminate their dependence on eyeglasses and contact lenses.
However, some patients are not good candidates for LASIK because they are extremely nearsighted, have thin corneas, or have other conditions that might predispose them to complications with LASIK. In these patients, the Visian™ Implantable Collamer Lens might be the best option for correcting their vision.
