Implantable Contact Lens
If you are seeking an alternative to glasses or contact lenses, and have been told you are not a candidate for Laser Vision Correction, we have the solution for you! The FDA approved Visian Implantable Contact Lens, or ICL. The Visian ICL is a small, implantable lens capable of correcting a wide range of vision problems. Visian ICL implant surgery is a safe and effective procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis. The Visian ICL’s are implanted inside the eye to provide precise, high quality vision and eliminate the need for glasses or traditional contact lenses. If you are interested in this procedure and want to know if you are a candidate, discuss it with your McPeak Vision Partners doctor during your next exam.
Clear Lens Extraction
Another alternative to Laser Vision Correction is clear lens extraction, which is also known as Refractive Lens Exchange. Clear lens Extraction is the removal of a noncataractous natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens replacement as a refractive procedure. Thanks to medical and surgical advancements in recent years, clear lens surgery has become one of the gentlest medical procedures performed today. It can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness as well as astigmatism. The human lens is replaced in a clear lens extraction with an artificial IOL to help the light focus properly on the back of the eye. If you are interested in this procedure and want to know if you are a candidate, discuss it with your McPeak Vision Partners doctor during your next exam.
