Assisting Your Vision With the Visian ICL

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

If you have been struggling with Myopia (Nearsightedness) then the Visian ICL may be able to help. While treatments like prescription contact lenses, or glasses will work for a while the Visian ICL is the contact you never need to remove. Many of us simply struggle with the upkeep and headaches of glasses & contacts but the Visian ICL is a tiny lens which placed behind your natural lens for more support in your vision.

The Visian ICL is made up of a Collamer that is made to avoid break down within your eyes. It requires no maintenance once placed in it and it won’t cause the eyes to become dry or irritated. It is a maintenance free treatment. It can be removed if needed but you won’t even know it’s there.

Benefits of the Visian ICL:

Easy less invasive Procedure

Little Recovery Time

Improved Quality of Vision immediately

No solutions needed daily

Little to no pain during the procedure

The use of these new technologies will help us see better into our future and better vision than we ever hoped for. Remembering to review all your options before making a final decision will allow you to understand what to expect and how it works. The Visian ICL truly is a great benefit for those with Keratoconus and other eye conditions. But don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself.

Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, MD is a renowned eye surgeon specializing in ICL and other procedures. More helpful information is available at www.GetICL.com

Olympian Bobsled Driver Steve Holcomb has Gold in Sight After Overcoming Keratoconus

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, was in Vancouver last Thursday for the Olympic press conference with the United States Men’s Bobsled team.  “Why would an eye surgeon be attending an Olympic press conference?” is probably going through your mind.  No, I didn’t give up my day job to join the U.S. Bobsled team.  Patient Steve Holcomb and his story has become one of the most miraculous stories in the Olympics.  

Steve is the driver of the U.S. Bobsled team’s top sled called “The Night Train”.  He became legally blind two years ago due to a degenerative cornea condition called Keratoconus which just about forced him to retire and give up the sport.  The U.S. Olympic Committee and the Bobsled team refused to let him give up.  That’s when they discovered me.  I had the honor of helping Steve over his keratoconus condition with C3-R along with corrective lens implants.  C3-R saved Steve’s eyesight.  

Steve then went on to win the World Bobsled Championship gold– a U.S. first in 50 years.  

There lies the reason for me being part of the press conference last week.  There were plenty of TV crews and journalists.

In 10  days, Steve and the Night Train will be going for Gold.  I will be there cheering for Steve and will be posting updates on this blog and tweeting at www.twitter.com/drboxerwachler
