Imagine being able to enjoy life without
worrying about your glasses or contacts. The
Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) by
STAAR Surgical Company offers you freedom
from nearsightedness. With the Visian ICL,
you could enjoy the beauty of a sunset, go
snorkeling and observe amazing sea life, see
a friend's smile from across the room, or
simply sit anywhere in a movie theater without
having to fuss with glasses or contacts.
What Is the Visian
Implantable Contact Lens?
The Visian ICL, an implantable
contact lens, is inserted into the eye during
a short surgical procedure. Unlike LASIK or
PRK, the Visian ICL implantation does not
permanently change the shape of the eye. Also,
the Visian ICL may improve your quality of
vision better than many other refractive procedures.
The "high definition" quality of
vision produced by the Visian ICL makes this
proven, technologically advanced vision correction
procedure the choice for patients who need
and expect high quality results. The U.S.
military has embraced the Visian ICL because
of the visual clarity it achieves. The implantable
Collamer lens may be the ideal choice
for patients with an active lifestyle and
those who cannot accept anything less than
high quality vision.

There is a difference between visual acuity (20/20
vision deemed as normal visual acuity) and visual quality.
Visual acuity refers to your ability to see an image enough to
know what it is, while visual quality refers to the sharpness
and clarity of the image. Many refractive procedures offer the
promise of improved visual acuity, but the quality
may vary, based on which procedure you choose. The Visian ICL
has a distinguished track record for bringing clarity of vision.
When compared to other refractive surgical procedures, the Visian
ICL results in a sharper clearer image, and a "WOW" factor
that we love to see in the face of our patients.

If you cannot settle for sight that is "good enough" and
demand high quality of vision, the Visian ICL may be the
refractive procedure choice for you. Call Harvard Eye now to
set your qualifying eye examination.
For Nearsightedness
STAAR Surgical Company's Visian ICL can correct a wider range of myopia (nearsightedness)
than LASIK or PRK. Also, if necessary, the Visian lens can be removed. After
it has been implanted, a Visian ICL is invisible to you and others. It also
requires no maintenance. The safety of the Visian ICL is proven, having been
successfully implanted in over 55,000 eyes worldwide. The Visian lens implant
is made from Collamer, a collagen copolymer. Collagen is the same naturally
occurring substance present in all of your connective tissue as well as your
eyes. It is highly biocompatible and is not recognized as a foreign object
as a result of its unique makeup. The safety of the Visian ICL is proven and
the results outstanding. Over 99 percent of patients in the clinical trial
were satisfied with their vision after their Visian ICL procedure.
