The Verisyse implantable contact lens has been an FDA approved treatment for high myopia for several years. Dr. Maverick was among the first in the region to use this new technology. The lens attaches to the iris to focus light rays much like a contact lens. Unlike Lasik and PRK, the corneal structure is not altered. The lens has a long and excellent safety record and is reversible. Focal Point Vision is uniquely qualified for implantable contact lenses, as it is one of the few practices in the country to offer both a Visante anterior segment ultrasound and a ConfoScan cell counter. Both these technologies add to the safety and accuracy of implantable contact lenses. In addition, Focal Point Vision offers both types of FDA approved implantable lenses, so you can be assured your surgeon will recommend the lens best for you.
