Implantable Contact lenses might replace LASIK Surgery

While LASIK is the most popular form of surgical vision correction today with over a million Americans undergoing the procedure each year, that might change in the future. Implantable Contact Lenses, such as Visian ICL, might be the next wave of vision treatments. Unlike LASIK, Implantable Contact Lenses can treat high amounts of near-sightedness, dry eyes, thin corneas, and possibly even patients with diseases such as keratoconus

In a comparative study of patients who underwent LASIK and/or Visian ICL it was discovered that the Visian ICL not only compared favorably to LASIK surgery but in fact exceeded the results of LASIK surgery in many categories.
