Lens Refractive Surgery
Intraocular Contact Lens (ICL)
Not every patient is a good candidate for LASIK, but there are other options for improving vision including the ICL, or Intraocular Contract Lens. ICLs are tiny lenses placed inside the eye to permanently improve vision and function much the same as traditional, external contact lenses. The lenses are implanted during a simple outpatient procedure that typically only takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Refractive Lens Exchange
For some patients, LASIK, PRK and even Implantable Contact Lenses are not considered viable treatment options due to certain factors. In these cases, a Refractive Lens Exchange or RLE may provide the best results.
