The Verisyse™ lens is used to treat moderate to severe myopia. This technology has over 18 years of use with procedures performed worldwide proving that the Verisyse™ design is safe and effective for individuals with myopia who are tired of thick glasses and are not candidates for Custom LASIK because of a high refractive correction, thin cornea, or a preference for non-laser vision correction. In contrast to a laser procedure, where tissue is permanently removed, the Verisyse™ lens can be removed, if needed.

The Verisyse™ lens is comprised of a convex or concave 5 to 6 mm optic on an 8.5 mm wide elliptical carrier. Implanting the Verisyse™ lens takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The surgeon creates an opening in the iris with a laser to assist fluid flow through the chambers of the eye. Then, the eye is numbed with local anesthesia and tiny incisions are created in the cornea. The Verisyse™ lens is inserted behind the cornea and in front of the iris using specialized tools to give the eye another focusing lens to provide improved vision. Following implantation, the Verisyse™ lens rests over the central iris and pupil and is positioned in front of the natural lens of the eye. Once the Verisyse™ lens is in place, the small corneal incision is closed with microscopic stitches and a temporary protective shield is placed over the eye.
