Augusta Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL)
Implanting
intraocular lenses joins a growing list of corrective
eye surgery procedures available to patients. Dr. Bruckner
has used intraocular lenses for years to replace the clouded
lens of the eye in patients with cataracts. Now that the Implantable
Contact Lens has been approved, Dr. Bruckner will be able
to use the ICL to reduce or eliminate the
need for glasses and/or contact lenses in patients with moderate
to severe nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia),
and astigmatism.
The
ICL procedure is similar to cataract surgery. However, with
cataract surgery, the lens is removed. With ICL, the eye’s
natural lens is left in place and the Implantable Contact
Lens is inserted through tiny openings and then positioned
into place behind the iris.
Some
of the main advantages of the Implantable Contact Lenses include:
It
is removable
It does not permanently change the structure of the eye
No maintenance of the lens is required
It is an outpatient procedure with a topical anesthesia
Dr.
Bruckner also offers multifocal and accommodative
intraocular lenses to give his patients better vision
both near and far.
