Implantable Collamer Lens, PRK, INTACS, Clear Lens Extraction ReSTOR, CK |
INTACS are acrylic, micro-thin corneal inserts
that are implanted by gently separating some of the layers of the cornea. They
are a safe and effective, removable alternative for the correction of
mild nearsightedness and astigmatism. They are most commonly used
to treat keratoconus, a progressive thinning condition of the cornea.
By reshaping and giving support to the cornea INTACS may improve functional
vision when glasses and contacts no longer provide suitable vision.

This is an artificial lens that is implanted inside the eye without
removing the eye’s natural lens. They can be a viable alternative
for those who are too nearsighted or farsighted for laser vision correction,
or who have thin or irregularly shaped corneas.

This outpatient surgical procedure is usually reserved for patients
with amounts of nearsightedness and farsightedness beyond the FDA approved
treatment parameters for laser vision correction. It involves the
removal of the clear, noncataractous natural lens of the eye as a refractive procedure
with or without the replacement of an intraocular lens implant. Clear
Lens Extraction, also called Refractive Lensectomy or Refractive Lens
Exchange has a slightly increased risk of complications because it is
an intraocular procedure, but is a very stable procedure and an excellent
alternative for select patients.

This intraocular implant lens is used to replace the natural lens of
the eye when it is removed due to a cataract, or as with a Clear Lens
Extraction. Unlike traditional monofocal intraocular lenses, ReSTOR
can provide patients a full range of vision - near through distance -
and greatly reduce the dependence on reading glasses or bifocals by allowing
the eye to focus at different distances.

NearVision CK is a procedure for the treatment of presbyopia (the loss
of the ability to focus at near). It may offer patients who have
difficulty seeing small print, the opportunity to read again with less
dependence on reading glasses or bifocals. CK uses the controlled
release of radio frequency energy placed in spots around the periphery
of the cornea. This steepens the cornea in farsighted patients,
improving their near vision.
