Verisyse™ Phakic IOL
Phakic Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are micro lenses that are placed inside the eye to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, cataracts and astigmatism. The newest option available to people who are very nearsighted is the Verisyse™ Phakic Intraocular Lens (Phakic IOL).
The procedure involves placing the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL behind the cornea and on top of the iris. This gives your eye another focusing lens that provides high-quality, high-definition vision like a normal eye. Although the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is intended to be permanent, the procedure is reversible if desired. Although more involved than LASIK, Verisyse and phakic IOLs are less invasive than cataract surgery, which is probably the most commonly performed elective surgery in the United States.
The word "phakic" means that your natural crystalline lens remains in place in the eye. The natural lens focuses, and thus allows you to see objects clearly from near to far.
Denver LASIK Surgeon Paul E. Cutarelli, M.D. has improved the vision of more than 50,000 patients in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas.
