Los Angeles Visian

For people suffering from myopia (nearsightedness) in Los Angeles, Visian lenses represent a new way to achieve independence from glasses and contacts. These implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) can correct myopia even in patients who also have astigmatism or hyperopia (farsightedness). They are inserted via a relatively simple refractive eye surgical procedure in patients who meet the medical criteria for eligibility.

Advantages Los Angeles Visian Patients Enjoy

Patients in Los Angeles with Visian lens implants report many benefits compared to patients who had traditional LASIK surgery. Visian ICLs do not permanently change the shape of the eye, and they have the potential to correct a broader spectrum of nearsighted vision conditions. They're easy and safe to use, requiring no upkeep after implantation, and they're biocompatible. People who wear them report a satisfaction rate north of 99 percent.

However, not all people make good candidates for the vision correction procedure that uses these specially engineered collamer lens implants. Ideal patients are nearsighted individuals between ages 21 and 45 who have stable vision, are not pregnant and have no allergies to anesthetics used during the procedure. Prospective patients in Los Angeles must meet with a local doctor to be evaluated for candidacy. The procedure shares many of the same risks as standard refractive eye surgery, and should be thoroughly understood beforehand.

The Maloney Vision Institute in Los Angeles is pleased to offer Visian ICLs as part of their full range of cutting-edge vision correction options. With leading doctors and top-of-the-line technology, the institute provides sight restoration solutions to people suffering from myopia, hyperopia, cataracts and a variety of other vision disorders.
