It’s a permanent correction that requires no maintenance once the surgery is complete. It’s possible for your surgeon to remove or replace these lenses if your eyes and vision change over time. These contact lenses work by allowing light to focus on the retina correctly. This, in turn, allows for a clearer and sharper image. This surgery can improve eyesight if you have short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. Visian ICL is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from dry eye or have thin corneas.13 Often, for extreme short-sightedness, ICL surgery can achieve more positive results than LASIK.14 If you’re not a candidate for LASIK, you’ll likely still be a candidate for Visian ICL surgery.
