VERISYSE™ PHAKIC IOL

Are you very nearsighted and told you have no options? Tired of wearing thick glasses? Introducing the Verisyse Phakic IOL at Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center.

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.

 

QUESTIONS ABOUT VERISYSE™ PHAKIC IOLs

What’s the difference between Verisyse and Blade Free LASIK?
Verisyse is specifically designed to provide precise vision correction for very nearsighted people who are not candidates for Custom LASIK.

How many patients have had the Verisyse procedure?
• The Verisyse Phakic IOL design has been successfully used in Europe for 18 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 in your eye 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.
• As long as patients don't suffer from other vision health problems (such as cataracts) that may affect the Verisyse lens, it will provide high quality vision for life.

The Verisyse Phakic IOL is designed to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness in patients who are not good candidates for Blade Free LASIK. The lens is placed behind your cornea and works alongside your natural crystalline lens to give you clear, crisp vision and freedom from 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. Paul Mann places the Verisyse Phakic IOL behind your cornea through a tiny incision. You will not feel or see the lens once it is in place, and it can never slip or fall out.
