Permanent contact lens implants in addition to your own lens
With the phakic intraocular lens (phakos [Greek] lens) is an artificial lens that is implanted into the eye in addition to the own eye lens. In our laser centre, only posterior chamber lenses are used for this alternative to laser eye surgery.
These are placed between the iris and the body’s own lens and do not have to be attached to the iris or at the angle of the chamber as with anterior chamber lenses with special holders. The entire procedure is reversible. This means that we can remove the lens implant at any time – if necessary.
There are numerous different intraocular lenses, the lens we use is the Visian ICL® (Implantable Contact Lens) model.
The Visian ICL® is an implantable contact lens that can be used for both nearsightedness and farsightedness. In addition, a corneal curvature can be corrected at the same time by means of a toric ICL lens implantation.
Benefit from another service: To prevent dry eyes, we now offer the E-Eye procedure as a follow-up treatment for ICL lens implantation. Find out more here!
The Visian ICL ® developed by STAAR ® Surgical is a high-definition alternative to eye lasers and permanently frees you from glasses and contact lenses. Phakic lenses of this type sit completely invisible inside the eye between the iris and lens and permanently correct your visual quality or until your visual acuity changes.
Then you can easily be taken out and replaced with new Visian ICL® with a different diopter number. Here you are a decisive step ahead of eye lasers.
The implant has already been successfully implanted over 250,000 times worldwide since 1997 and is particularly convincing due to the rapid improvement in individual visual acuity and the fast and painless recovery time after the procedure. This is due, among other things, to the material of the intraocular lens, which consists of collagen that is highly compatible with the body.
The Visian ICL® may only be implanted by very experienced eye surgeons, such as Ms Doctor-medic Bányai, since the use of these posterior chamber lenses is an intervention in the interior of the eye and not only on the surface of the eye, such as femto-LASIK.
The use of Visian ICL® is usually required if laser treatment is not possible due to excessive refractive error or too thin a cornea.
