Myopia Treatment
Phakic Intraocular Lens (ICL)
Eyes which are extremely shortsighted or which have thin corneas may be unsuitable for laser vision correction because of the increased risk of poor vision afterwards. The WEC uses VERISYZE phakic IOLs in this situation.
If you are very nearsighted and tired of contact lenses and thick glasses, and at least 21 years of age, you may be a candidate for Verisyse™ Phakic IOL's.
More than 150,000 procedures have been performed worldwide. They have been shown to be very safe, effective and predictable and can give excellent vision without the use of glasses or contact lenses.
Lens removal and replacement
This procedure involves removing the existing, usually normal, lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens chosen to reduce or eliminate your myopia. This is identical to modern cataract surgery with the exception that a cataract is usually not present.
Removal of the normal lens with insertion of an IOL may be the best option for an older, extreme myope or someone who is developing an early cataract.
Lens removal and replacement is generally predictable and safe, but does carry some risk (up to 5% in some reports) of developing a retinal detachment later on, when this surgery is performed on eyes with extreme myopia.
