Not Suitable for Laser Eye
Surgery?
Severe short/long sight and
astigmatism is now treatable at
Optimax.
If your prescription falls
outside the treatment range for
LASIK or
LASEK laser eye surgery, then
Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) are an
option available to you.
These are implantable lenses that
are used for correcting very high prescriptions of short-sight,
long-sight and astigmatism.
They are similar to a very small
contact lens which is placed inside the eye instead of sitting on
the eye’s surface. For maximum safety, the lenses are implanted in
one eye at a time, allowing about a week for the first eye to
recover.
ICLs
often improve your night vision and give you quality of sight
better than you could achieve with glasses. Very severe short-sight
can sometimes be dramatically improved in quality.
