Find Out What Our Patients Have to Say About the Visian ICLâ„¢
The Visian ICL, often referred to as an implantable contact lens, is inserted into the eye during a short surgical procedure. Unlike LASIK or PRK, the Visian ICL implantation does not permanently change the shape of the eye. Also, the Visian ICL may improve your quality of vision better than many other refractive procedures.

Advantages of the VISIAN ICLâ„¢
Versatility
STAAR Surgical Company’s Visian ICL can correct a wider range of myopia than LASIK or PRK. Also, if necessary, the phakic IOL can be removed.
Simplicity
After it has been implanted, the Visian ICL is invisible to you and others. It also requires no maintenance.
Safety
The safety of the Visian ICL is proven. The implantable Collamer lens has been successfully implanted in over 55,000 eyes worldwide.
Biocompatibility
The Visian ICL is made from Collamer, a collagen copolymer. Collagen is the same naturally occurring substance present in all of our connective tissue and the eye. It is highly biocompatible and not recognized as a foreign object as a result of its unique makeup.
Performance
The results of this new vision correction alternative are outstanding. Over 99 percent of patients in the clinical trial were satisfied with their vision after the Visian ICL procedure.
Quality of Vision
There is a difference between visual acuity (20/20 vision is deemed as normal visual acuity) and visual quality. Many refractive procedures offer the promise of improved visual acuity, but the quality of your vision may vary based on the procedure you choose.
STAAR Surgical Company’s Visian ICL has a proven track record of improved quality of vision. When compared to other refractive surgical procedures, the Visian ICL creates sharper vision. The immediate improvement of vision quality produces the “WOW” factor in patients.
The “high definition” quality of vision produced by the Visian ICL makes this proven, technologically advanced vision correction procedure the choice for patients who need and expect high quality results. The U.S. military has embraced the Visian ICL because of the visual clarity it achieves. This feature also makes the implantable Collamer lens the choice for patients with an active lifestyle and those who cannot accept anything less than high quality vision.
