True Testimonials: The Power of the Visian ICL

Monday, August 31st, 2009

The Visian ICL is a treatment for anyone wanting improvement of their vision. It can correct a wide variety of vision problems. The treatment is simple and is made with a special material called collamer.

The lens is bio-compatible which means it will not breakdown over time and can remain in the eye indefinitely. The Visian ICL requires no maintenance and is easy to remove if necessary.

The Visian ICL can give significant immediate results in the improvement of your vision. The procedure only takes about 30 minutes and is painless. The recovery time is relatively quick and the implanting of the lens does no permanent alteration to your eye so it can be removed with a simple procedure if needed.

But don’t take our word for it listen to Mia & Tracy’s story:

Mia Saddler-

Mia was tired of the constant hassle of her glasses and contact lens. She wanted to have an improved quality of vision without extensive hassles. She saw Dr. Boxer Wachler and spoke to him about her eye care to find that he felt the Visian ICL would be her best choice.

Mia stated during the procedure the:

                                “Staff was attentive to my needs

Her recovery was quick:

                             “The recovery time was the rest of the day”

Mia has had:

                       “No problems with my vision since the ICL Procedure”

OR listen to Tracy: Who has used contact lenses since she was 18 about 20 years.

Tracy says her procedure:

                           Lasted no more than about 25 minutes”

and that she:

           hasn’t seen like this since she was a little kid, it was absolutely amazing!”

The Visian ICL is truly a wonderful procedure. If you are interested in finding out more information on this great procedure you can hear these testimonials and more for yourself at: http://www.boxerwachler.com take it from Mia:

                     “At the end of the day it’s worth it!”

True Testimonials: Meeting David Bonifanti

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Many of us argue with ourselves on having procedures done to our eyes. Quite frankly the thought of getting surgery of any kind on our eyes does not sound so appealing. But the truth of the matter is over the course of the last 20 years many advancements in technologies have allowed vision correction procedures to be minimal to non-invasive and take little to no time to heal. This means not only will you receive the benefits but in most cases it won’t interfere with your daily schedule- and who could ask for anything better than that.

David Bonifanti can tell you from his experience that the Visian ICL is worth all the risk. He studied and researched these procedures for 15 years before meeting Dr. Boxer Wachler.

He said:

“I researched this doctor for a long time and I was comfortable with Dr. Boxer Wachler.”

He knew Dr. Boxer Wachler for about 4 to 5 years before he decided to get the treatment of the Visian ICL. Though the doctor knew of its benefits he understood David’s concern and respected his choice to wait.

In fact David liked his results so much after three months he had to tell his story.

Dr. Boxer Wachler still says:

Quote:

“Visian ICL can correct vision better than glasses and contact lens.”

The Visian ICL:

The Visian ICL is a small implant that is placed behind the iris. The lens will fold out after it is placed in position. The overall procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes. The patient is given numbing medications and there is no pain during the procedure.

Deciding if Visian ICL is Right for You

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Are you considering getting Visian ICL in order to correct your vision?  If so, you are likely to be very pleased with the results.  At the same time, you should understand the benefits of the procedure and know for certain whether or not you are a suitable candidate before you start looking at having Visian ICL performed to improve your vision.

Why the Visian ICL Procedure is a Good Choice for Vision Correction

There are many advantages to using the Visian ICL procedure to correct your vision.  Namely, the procedure helps most people gain freedom from their glasses by improving visual acuity and helping to make the vision sharper.  In addition to improved vision, the Visian ICL procedure also offers benefits such as:

  • Only requiring a small incision, which means no sutures are required and healing time is fast
  • The lens is inserted in the posterior chamber of the eye, which makes it invisible
  • It is made from Collamer, which is biocompatible with the eye

To date, the Visian ICL implants have been placed in over 60,000 eyes around the world. It also has a proven track record of success, having been used to help improve the vision of others for the past 15 years.

What Makes for a Good ICL Candidate?

In order to be considered a good candidate for Visian ICL, you should:

  • Be between the ages of 21 and 45.
  • Not be pregnant
  • Not have allergies to the medication that is used during the procedure
  • Not have health problems that may cause complication
  • Have enough eye tissue density and a proper anterior chamber depth, which can be determined with an eye examination
  • Not have experienced changes to your eyeglass prescription of more than 0.5 over the past year

Most people that meet these criteria will be eligible for the Visian ICL procedure.  Whether you are farsighted or nearsighted and whether or not you have astigmatism does not affect your eligibility for Visian ICL.  Even if you have severe myopia of up to a -20D prescription, you can still be eligible so long as you have an only minor case of astigmatism.  It should be noted, however, that the Visian Toric ICL is currently under review with the FDA and is capable of correcting myopia that is accompanied by astigmatism.

The Visian ICL procedure is also a good alternative for people that are no candidates for LASIK surgery because their cornea is too thin or because they suffer from dry eyes.  It should not be looked at as only an alternative for those that are not eligible for LASIK, however, as Visian ICL is a much safer choice that does not create a permanent change to the eye.  For that reason, even individuals that may qualify for the LASIK procedure may wish to use the Visian ICL procedure instead.

The Visian ICL procedure can help literally thousands of people enjoy better vision.  With its fast recovery time, excellent results, and lack of permanent change to the eye, it is clearly a great choice for anyone looking to finally say goodbye to their glasses.
