In Harmony With Your Natural Eye
It's Additive, So Your
Eye Is Still Your Eye
Some refractive procedures require removal of corneal tissue. However, implantable lenses are an additive procedure that doesn't require removing corneal tissue or your natural lens.
Embrace All That’s Natural
Similar to adding a lens to a camera, implantable lenses work with the natural parts of your eye to improve your vision so you can see the world.
They’re Removable
Implantable lenses are removable by a doctor, providing you with both flexibility and peace of mind.
Quick Procedure
Implantable lenses are typically minimally invasive and the lens is implanted through a small opening allowing for a quick procedure and recovery time. Implantable lenses are quickly becoming a vision correction procedure of choice for many people around the world.
