What are Visian ICL lenses?
Visianlens inserts are highly biocompatible lenses that are positioned behind the irises to reverse the symptoms associated with keratoconus. They are manufactured from Collamer and cause no reaction in the eyes. Collamer also contains a filter for providing protection from ultraviolet rays of light.
How long have Visian ICL lenses been available?
Visian ICL lenses were researched and developed over 13 years in Europe. They are now available in the US as well. In fact, more than 50,000 people have now been fitted with them.
Do Visian ICL lenses eliminate the need for eye glasses and contact lenses?
That depends on the severity of an individual's keratoconus. Most patients have a 70-90% reduction of overall prescription. Some patients will wear a light pair of glasses for driving or reading. On occasion patients will wear contact lenses when they desire crisper sharper vision.
How long can Visian ICL lenses be worn?
Visian ICL lenses are intended for permanency and maintenance-free performance. They are inserted behind the irises in the posterior chamber, in front of the natural lenses. They cannot be detected by others. If your vision changes over time, or other procedures become necessary, Visian ICL lenses can be easily removed, changed and/or reinserted.
Is the procedure for inserting Visian ICL lenses complicated?
Visian lenses are inserted on an outpatient basis and each eye can be completed in roughly 15 minutes. The procedure is minimally invasive and has very few post-operative complications associated. Also, little discomfort is reported from patients. Eye drops and case-dependent medications will be prescribed. A follow-up visit is required the day after the procedure. In addition, most patients report that they cannot even feel the lenses after placement.
Visian ICL permanent lenses provide a cost-effective way to alleviate the severe vision impairment symptoms associated with keratoconus.
