Some Vision Correction Procedures Contribute to Dry Eye Syndrome.
All-Day Comfort
At home or at work, clear, comfortable vision makes all the difference. You have so much to think about during the day, wouldn’t it be nice to not have to think about your eyes?
Make Living Your Everyday Routine
ICL sits inside your eye, eliminating the hassle of having to put in and take out your contact lenses each day. Enjoy great vision to accomplish your everyday activities from the minute you wake up to when you go to sleep.
No Dry Contact Lenses Even When You Fly
From long trips to sitting on a plane, traveling with ICL still doesn’t lead to dry eyes from contact lenses, so you can stay on the go with comfort and confidence.
It Only Takes 30 Minutes
The ICL procedure is minimally invasive and the lens is implanted through a small opening allowing for a quick procedure and recovery time. With over 2,000,000 lenses distributed worldwide, ICL is quickly becoming a vision correction procedure of choice for many people around the world.
