Intraocular (implantable) contact lens

The intraocular contact lens (ICL) option provides vision correction that goes beyond LASIK. It helps you enjoy sharper, clearer, and more vivid vision, with greater depth and dimension.  It’s called high definition vision, and the fully reversible procedure takes less than 5 minutes using anaesthetic eye drops only- no injections or needles!

Multifocal lens implants

The multifocal lens not only treats poor unaided sight, but it may also turn back the clock to bring back much of your ability to see up close and at a distance. The lens has multiple focal points so you can see well at a variety of distances in varying light conditions. If you want to consider improving your sight and desire a full range of vision with increased independence from glasses or bifocals, the multifocal lens may be the right solution for you.
