Implantable Lenses

The Latest Technology - STAAR Visian ICL

Dr. Rabinowitz's experience and training with laser eye surgery in LA, Santa Clarita, Lancaster and the surrounding area is important when determining a patient's candidacy for LASIK. Please read the information below to learn more about Visian ICL, an alternative for patients who are not candidates for LASIK.

If you have significant nearsightedness, thin corneas, dry eyes or night vision problems, you're likely not a good candidate for LASIK. But now there's a new treatment that will allow you to decrease your dependence on glasses and contacts.

The FDA recently approved the STAAR Visian ICL, an implantable lens that corrects moderate to severe nearsightness (-3D to -20D) with a quick, minimally invasive procedure.

Quality of Vision

The Visian ICL offers unparalleled quality of vision, providing excellent contrast. Two unique factors help explain this superior optical performance. First, the Visian ICL is made of Collamer - a soft, flexible lens material that contains a small amount of collagen- making the lens extremely biocompatible for a lifetime of clear vision. Second, the lens is placed inside of the eye, where it continues to focus light accurately without any maintenance required.

Safety

The Visian ICL is inserted into the eye through a small, micro incision. The lens unfolds in the eye and is positioned between the iris and the natural lens where it stays indefinitely. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Removable

The Visian ICL does not alter any structures within the eye or on the cornea. If necessary, it can be removed from the eye by a simple surgical procedure.

Invisible and Undetectable

You won't be able to see the Visian ICL in your eye, and neither will anybody else. Exceptional quality of vision will be the only reminder that you have had 21st century vision correction.

To find out if the STAAR Visian ICL is right for you call (310) 423-9640 or (800) 701-4448 and make an appointment for a complimentary consultation.
