Verisyse

The Verisyse^™ Phakic IOL at Larson Eye Care

An estimated 90 million people have nearsightedness so severe it cannot be corrected with Custom LASIK or other procedures. Today, thanks to new technology called Verisyse^™ most non-LASIK candidates can significantly reduce, or eliminate, their dependence on thick glasses and contact lenses.

The Verisyse^™ Phakic IOL is designed to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness in patients who are not good candidates for CustomVue LASIK. The lens is placed behind your cornea and works along side your natural crystalline lens to give you the vision you need to perform most daily activities…without depending on glasses or contact lenses. The Verisyse^™ Phakic IOL is made out of PMMA, the same material used safely for the past 50 years in cataract surgery. “Phakic” means that your natural crystalline lens is left in the eye. Your natural lens helps your eye adjust between seeing objects that are near and far.

Dr. Larson Answers Common Questions about Verisyse

Is the Verisyse Phakic IOL right for me?

If you are very nearsighted, at least 21 years of age and dependent on thick glasses or contact lenses, you may be a candidate for the Verisyse^™ Phakic IOL. At Larson Eye Care we offer a complimentary consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for this exciting technology.

What’s the difference between Verisyse^™ and CustomVue LASIK?

The Verisyse lens is specifically designed to provide precise vision correction for very nearsighted people who are not candidates for Custom LASIK typically because they are too nearsighted to achieve a good visual result with laser treatment.

How many patients have had the Verisyse procedure?

The Verisyse^™ Phakic IOL design has been successfully used in Europe for the past 18 years and in the Untied States for the past two years. More than 150,000 phakic procedures have been performed worldwide. In the United States, clinical studies of the Verisyse^™ procedure began in 1997. It was FDA approved in 2004 after these clinical studies proved that Verisyse^™ is a safe and effective way to reduce your need for thick glasses and contact lenses.

Will I be able to see or feel the Verisyse^™ lens in my eye?

Once implanted, the Verisyse^™ lens is virtually undetectable. You and others close to you may be able to see the lens only by looking very closely. Because Verisyse^™ is placed behind your cornea you will not be able to feel it.

How long does Verisyse last?

The Verisyse lens is designed to provide permanent vision correction.

Cataract patients now have the option to have their vision corrected to allow them to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! These lens implants provide significantly reduced dependence on glasses for all tasks of daily living, providing a range of focus that laser vision correction cannot achieve. Individuals with visual impairment suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery.
