Patients Discuss their Transplant Experience
Dr. Lewis offers Visian ICLs for nearsighted patients who desire to achieve clear vision without glasses but do not qualify for laser refractive surgery, such as LASIK or Epi-LASIK. While these procedures can treat mild to moderate myopia, they are not suitable for patients with severe nearsightedness. Visian ICLs, however, can be used to treat nearsightedness in the range of -20.00 diopters. Inserted in the eye, Visian ICL corrects its shape so that the eye refracts light rays correctly and provides clear vision. According to studies conducted by the FDA, 95 percent of patients who receive Visian ICLs achieve vision of 20/40 or better.
