Visian:
The VISIAN ICL is a refractive phakic implant intended for placement in the posterior chamber of the eye. The approved models are indicated for the correction of myopia in adults with myopia ranging from -3.0 to less than or equal to -15.0 diopters with astigmatism less than or equal to 2.5 diopters at the spectacle plane, and the reduction of myopia in adults with myopia ranging from greater than -15.0 to -20.0 diopters with astigmatism less than or equal to 2.5 diopters at the spectacle plane, in patients 21 to 45 years of age with anterior chamber depth (ACD) 3.00 mm or greater, and a stable refractive history within 0.5 diopters for one year prior to implantation. Made of STAAR's proprietary, highly biocompatible Collamer(R) material, the ICL (an abbreviation for Implantable Collamer Lens) is the only minimally invasive foldable lens of its kind approved for the U.S. commercial market. As a result of the unique foldable design, the ICL procedure allows an incision up to 50% smaller than competing technology, and its placement in the eye behind the iris provides a more aesthetically pleasing outcome. In addition to the U.S., the ICL is also approved for sale in 41 countries, including the European Union and has successfully been implanted in more than 40,000 eyes worldwide.
