IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS APPEARS BETTER THAN LASIK OR PRK FOR MODERATE TO HIGH MYOPIC PATIENTS
http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab007679.html The results of this review suggest that the implantable lens (ICL) is are safer than excimer laser (the laser used in PRK and LASIK) surgical correction for moderate to high myopia in the range of -6.0 to -20.0 D and ICL is preferred by patients. ICL surgery resulted in better corrected visual acuity, better contrast sensitivity, and improved patient satisfaction. ICL may also be considered in cases where the patient has more moderate near-sightedness (in the range of -3.00 to -6.00). My personal experience with ICL gives me a high level of confidence in this procedure and the surgeon with whom I co-manage. All patients I have seen have been 20/20 or better. One patient was in the -6.00 range and the others in the -10 range! I see very little side effects. For more information, feel free to our office at 480-812-2211.
looking for some reviews on this lens...
ReplyDeleteMy Eye Doctor just gave me a pair to try. Eventhough the diameter is a bit larger than my acuvue's they seem to be alright. they seem to fit my eye better, my other ones seemed to shift a lot more, but they are comfy and hopefully more beathable. we'll see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.!! I will certainly visit to take a look on silicone hydrogel contact lenses.
