The Visian ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
Your Texas Visian ICL eye surgeons 

If you are a highly myopic patient, you have probably been to see an eye doctor quite a few times. The doctors at Slade & Baker Vision Center are proud to offer an alternative to thick and restrictive glasses known as the Visian ICL. The Visian ICL is also called the Implantable Collamer Lens and was created by STAAR® Surgical.

About Visian ICL

The Visian ICL is a long-lasting solution for a refractive error. Through it is a myopia treatment; the Visian ICL offers excellent quality of vision.

The Visian ICL Advantages

  • Quality of Vision – The Visian ICL produces not only improved visual acuity, but also excellent visual quality. Many patients experience the "Wow" factor when they experience the immediate improvement in the quality of their vision.
  • Biocompatibility – Collamer, the 100 percent pure collagen copolymer lens material of the Visian ICL, is not viewed as a foreign object by the body's immune system.
  • Versatility – The Visian ICL offers a wider treatment range for myopia than LASIK and PRK procedures.  This is the reason why many patients who are not LASIK candidates choose the Visian ICL.
  • Simplicity – Unlike traditional contact lenses, once the Visian ICL is implanted in the eye, there is no additional maintenance needed.
  • Lens Placement – The placement of the Visian ICL makes the lens invisible to the patient and any observer.
  • Removable – The Visian ICL was designed to be permanently placed in the eye. However, the lens can be removed if a patient's vision changes or if it otherwise needs to be removed or replaced.

If you are tired of very thick and restrictive glasses, if you don't want to wear your contact lenses any longer, or if you are highly myopic and have been told you are not a LASIK candidate, please consider the Visian ICL as an option. Dr. Slade will be happy to discuss the potential benefits of this revolutionary lens implant as well as our Visian ICL success stories.  For more information please visit the Visian ICL website or call us at 713-626-5544 and ask about the Visian ICL.
