If you have thin corneas or cannot have Laser Vision Correction, there are very effective options you should consider. At Eye Physicians of Long Beach, we perform all of the most advanced forms of vision correction. Refractive lens exchanges and Phakic IOLs are two of those alternatives.
Phakic IOLs
This technique is a time-tested way to treat a wide range of nearsightedness and farsightedness. A custom lens is created and implanted to work with the natural lens of your eye.
The Visian ICL is a lens that have been approved by the FDA. It is reassuring to know that the lens can be removed if necessary.
