The Verisyse™ lens is an artificial intraocular lens that is placed inside the eye surgically without laser removal of corneal tissue or removal of the natural lens. By not removing the natural lens, if you are under 40 years of age, the eye can still focus from far to near without the need for reading glasses or a reading contact lens.

The Verisyse™ lens is an intraocular lens indicated for the correction of moderate to severe nearsightedness or myopia (-5.00 to -20.0 diopters).

The lens is designed to be permanently implanted into the eye to reduce or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure involves placing the Verisyse™ ICL behind your cornea and in front of your iris. Although the lens is intended to be permanent, the procedure is reversible if desired.


About the Procedure

Implanting the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is an outpatient procedure that takes around 15 to 30 minutes. Usually, one eye is treated at a time.

• Drops will be placed in your eyes in order to reduce the pupil size.

• For better access to your eye, your doctor will use an instrument to comfortably hold your eyelids open during the procedure.

• A local anesthetic is given to sedate the eye, so the procedure is virtually painless.

• A small incision is made in the cornea for the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL to be placed in the space between the iris and the cornea.

• The Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is centered in front of the pupil (the black part in the center of your eye), and is gently attached to the iris (the colored part of your eye) to hold the lens in place.

• The small incision is closed with microscopic stitches that dissolve on their own.

• A temporary shield will be placed over your eye to protect it during the time just after the procedure.
