Visian ICL successful in surgeon with high myopia

Michael Greenwood was a very high myope; before his procedure his prescription was out of range for both LASIK and PRK at –13.5 D. Of two choices, Michael selected an ICL, specifically the Visian ICL, because of his increasing intolerance to contact lenses. Although his 1.5 D of cylinder was not corrected, he was still able to obtain better than 20/20 uncorrected vision, better than his preop best corrected visual acuity, partially as a result of excellent surgery and power calculation and partially by eliminating preop minification. We have a powerful arsenal of refractive procedures that can eliminate almost all refractive errors, which will speed our goal of eliminating refractive errors globally in the not too distant future.Please feel free to submit your own Refractive Surgery Story to us if you are a refractive surgeon.
