Yes! The Visian ICL can often help those who are very nearsighted as a result of keratoconus. For young people with keratoconus, we often recommend corneal crosslinking to make sure the cornea becomes stable and the keratoconus does not progress. In many cases we place small reinforcing rings in the cornea called either intracorneal ring segments or Intacs. The plastic ring segments help stabilize…
The UBM is an ultrasound that allows the doctor to see inside the eye, behind the iris (the colored part of the eye). Just like an ultrasound allows doctors to see inside our bodies for things like evaluating a pregnant woman to make sure a baby is OK, these ultrasounds allow us to look into an eye and make sure there are no abnormalities…
Yes you can still have a Visian ICL if you have astigmatism. While the toric Visian ICL, which is specifically designed to correct astigmatism, is not available in the US, we can typically correct the astigmatism when ICLs are implanted in one of 3 ways. The first and most frequent method is to place the incision to insert the Visian ICL in…
We have all heard of LASIK. LASIK has almost become routine as it provides rapid visual recovery, is safer than wearing contact lenses, and actually is much less expensive than contact lenses.

Soft contact lenses have an inherent problem with trying to correct astigmatism. The problem is that with each blink, contact lenses not only move up and down, they also rotate either clockwise or counter clockwise. The rotation does not matter if the correction is only spherical (meaning nearsighted or far sighted corrections). However with astigmatism, the curvature of the corneal…
A: There are many advantages of both the Visian ICL and Lasik over contact lenses. I will answer this as a series of answers. Contact lenses continually move around on the eye with each blink. Contacts have to move on the eye in order for tears to get under them and keep the tear fluid under them intact and nutrients…
A: The Visian ICL, like all lens implants for nearsightedness, gives excellent visual results. Some doctors have even referred to the outstanding visual results with the Visian ICL as High Definition Vision – because it is so clear and predictably good. One of the advantages of the Visian ICL for those who are very nearsighted is that images will appear…
A: Lasik is a great surgery; I have been doing it for over 20 years. Lasik is very effective for treating astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. However, in some cases, Lasik may not be the best treatment or even advisable for some people. The Visian ICL by Staar Surgical is an excellent option for those who are nearsighted and cannot have Lasik.…
