Verisyse™

The Verisyse™ lens is a safe and effective alternative for individuals with moderate to severe nearsightedness who are tired of thick glasses and are not candidates for Custom LASIK. With over 18 years of use and 150,000 procedures performed worldwide, the Verisyse lens is an implant that gives your eye another focusing lens that provides high-quality, high-definition vision like a normal eye. Implanting of the Verisyse lens is an outpatient procedure that takes around 15 to 30 minutes to perform. First, drops are placed in your eye in order to reduce the pupil size. Next, a local anesthetic is given to sedate the eye. The Verisyse lens is then placed in the space between the iris and the cornea. The lens is centered in front of the pupil and is gently attached to the iris to hold the lens in place. The small incision is closed with microscopic stitches that dissolve on their own. Lastly, a temporary shield will be placed over your eye to protect it during the time just after the procedure.
