Important Safety Information
The Visian ICL is designed for the correction of moderate to high
nearsightedness. Visian ICL and Visian TICL surgery is intended to
safely and effectively correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D to -15.0
D, the reduction in nearsightedness up to -20.0 D and treatment of
astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within
these ranges, Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision
without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the Visian ICL corrects
for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses,
you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them
before.
Implantation of the Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such,
carries potentially serious risks. Please discuss the risks with your
eye care professional. Complications, although rare, may include need
for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the
back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts.
You should NOT have Visian ICL surgery if:
-
Your doctor determines that the shape of your eye is not an
appropriate fit for the Visian ICL
- You are pregnant or nursing
-
You do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at
the time of implantation as determined by your eye doctor
- Your vision is not stable as determined by your eye doctor
Before considering Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye
examination and talk with your eye care professional about Visian ICL
surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications.
You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. For
