iLASIK Alternatives
Visian ICL
Not a candidate for LASIK? Our surgeons are skilled in an alternative procedure to LASIK, the Visian intraocular contact lens or ICL. For years, the only method of permanent vision correction that didn't involve glasses or contact lenses was corrective laser eye surgery. With the advent of the Visian ICL, however, that’s all changed. Now, you can enjoy “High Definition Visian™” – vision correction that’s sharper, clearer, more vivid, and has greater depth and dimension – in a simple, 15-minute outpatient procedure.
The Visian ICL has proven to be effective in patients within a wide range of refractive errors. In fact, the Visian ICL can correct myopia from as low as -3.0 diopters to -16.0 diopters and reduce myopia from -16.0 diopters up to as high as -20.0 diopters with or without astigmatism.

PRK
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) has been performed since 1986. It is similar to LASIK but is a little different. In the PRK laser procedure, your surgeon uses the eximer laser to reshape the curvature of the eye to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. PRK may be a good choice for patients with larger pupils, thin corneas or other corneal issues.
