What Is Visian ICL?
The Visian ICL is a soft, thin lens that is gently implanted
behind the iris and in front of the human lens. It is similar in
appearance and feel to a contact lens but remains inside the
eye. The Visian ICL is implanted under topical anesthesia in 10
to 15 minutes. There is very little, if any, discomfort
associated with this procedure. Remarkably, visual
recovery is quick and most are back to normal activities the
next day.
