The Visian ICL is an implantable contact lens recently FDA approved for myopia and soon to be approved for astigmatism has shown superior visual results in higher myopes or nearsighted people. This lens sits behind the iris and the procedure does not alter the corneal structure like Lasik or PRK. The procedure is quick, with relatively immediate visual improvement and relatively little discomfort. The lens has an extensive safety history with thousands having been performed in the the U.S. The surgeons of Focal Point Vision are uniquely qualified to implant and manage this lens with years of experience with implantable contact lenses. The practice is one of a handful in the U.S. with both a Visante anterior segment ultrasound and a ConfoScan cell counter. These machines do specific measurements on the eye to assure the safest and most accurate results. In addition, Focal Point Vision offers both types of FDA approved implantable lenses, so you can be assured your surgeon will recommend the lens best for you.
These implantable contact lenses have been shown to have an excellent safety record and extremely high quality of vision, especially in high myopes.
Drs. Snip and Maverick have among the earliest and most experience with this ground breaking technology in refractive surgery. Focal Point Vision has been named the Center of Excellence for San Antonio for implanting the ICL.
