New treatment option for the nearsighted
If you are sick of contacts and weary of Lasik, there may be a better option for you: implantable contacts.
Made of a collagen copolymer, the Visian ICL lenses have several advantages over conventional contact lenses and lasik surgery: they are permanent and do not require maintenance; they may be removed or upgraded if vision or other changes necessitate; they do not damage corneal tissue; and, they are invisible because they are implanted behind the iris.
The procedure, which typically takes just 15 minutes, is performed on an outpatient basis.
The best candidates for the procedure are those age 21-45.
