The best part is that Visian ICL doesn’t have to be permanent. The implantable contact lens can be removed at anytime. LASIK deals with cutting the cornea to create a flap, then using a laser to properly sculpt the cornea in order to correct your vision. When Dr. Walton uses Visian ICL, he surgically places the FDA-approved lens between your iris and natural eye lens.
Visian ICL doesn’t require any maintenance. The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes and you will walk out of the office with immediate vision improvement. You won’t feel or see the contact lens at all. Visian ICL doesn’t cause dry eyes and even provides a small amount of UV protection.
You will finally have the freedom to rid yourself of the hassles of contacts and that old pair of glasses that probably doesn’t match your newest prescription anyway. This form of corrective surgery is able to treat severe nearsightedness in those that don’t qualify for LASIK.
Depending on the patient, there is usually a one-day recovery period to adjust. LASIK or PRK can take several days to heal, but this option will have you seeing clearly and back at work the next day.
