ICLs

Las Vegas, Nevada

Wellish Vision Institute was one of the first centers in Nevada to offer the Verisyse lens and the Visian lens, phakic implantable contact lenses (ICL) proven to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness (myopia), even in patients who don’t qualify for LASIK.

In this procedure, the ICL is inserted through a small incision and placed behind your cornea to work with your eye’s natural lens to improve your distance vision. The term “phakic” means that your natural lens is left in place, therefore your vision does not lose the focusing, or accommodating, ability to see near objects and the ICL can be removed if needed. This is an outpatient treatment where you will be sedated and takes about 15 minutes to perform.
