Implantable (Contact) Lenses
What are Implantable Contact Lenses?
Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) are lenses made of collamer material which
can be placed inside the eye to treat moderate to high levels of nearsightedness. This
exciting technology is unlike “Laser” refractive surgery
in that the Visian ICL does not require cutting or removing tissue from the
natural eye. In fact, the cornea retains its natural structural stability
without thinning or flattening the cornea. With the Visian ICL lens,
you indefinitely retain your option to make future choices about your vision
because it is removable and replaceable.
Which doctors perform the ICL surgery?
Dr. Thomas Tilton is board certified in ophthalmology and performs this surgery. He
has the honor of being among the first surgeons in the United States trained
to perform this procedure.
How can I find out whether I am a candidate for ICL surgery?
You can call 1-800-243-2587 to schedule a free consultation. You may
ask to speak with Cherylnn.
Is ICL surgery covered by my insurance?
In general, ICL surgery is not a procedure covered by insurance. We urge
you to contact your insurance company to determine your benefits. When
calling, ask specifically whether Implantable Contact/Collamer Lenses are covered. We
would be happy to pre-certify and file your insurance for you once your surgery
is scheduled. Any amount not covered will be due in full prior to your
surgery.
What payment options are available?
We accept your personal check, cashier’s check, cash, or any of the following
major credit cards: VISA, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. In
addition, 18 months, no interest financing is available.
