The Visual Freedom You Deserve
Address nearsightedness with an implantable contact lens.
Implantable lenses are made from biocompatible, stable and flexible materials, enabling minimally invasive insertion and encouraging harmony with your natural eye.
Soft & Pliable
Implantable lenses are easy to implant in the eye and some of them have a soft and flexible structure. You won’t even know it’s there other than the fact that you have great vision.
Wide Range of Treatment
Contact lenses and glasses can be a hassle and limiting. Implantable Lenses can treat a wide range of prescriptions from low to moderate to high myopia with or without astigmatism.
Implantable Lenses vs LASIK vs PRK
When it comes to vision correction, deciding what’s best for your eyes can be difficult. Learn about the differences between procedures and see which option is the right fit for you.
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.
