Visian ICL™ Phakic Intraocular Lens

Phillips Kirk Labor, MD was among the first Dallas/Fort Worth Ophthalmologists to implant the Visian ICL. If you wear contacts, Visian can eliminate the need to change them out daily.

The Visian ICL works like an implantable contact lens, which is a permanent lens placed in front of the eye's natural lens. Plus, it's made from collagen, the same naturally occurring substance found in your eyes. Visian is best for anyone who's nearsighted, and particularly for those who are not a good candidate for LASIK. In some cases it can actually be more effective than LASIK. It's invisible, requires no maintenance and can be removed for any reason. The term "phakic" means that Visian works with the natural lens still in place, allowing you to see just as clearly as with traditional contacts. The biggest difference? You don't have to change them out.
