Verisyse Lens Implant

Horizon Laser Vision Center was the first center in Arizona to offer Verisyse™, an intraocular lens (IOL) proven to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness (myopia), even in patients who don’t qualify for LASIK.

In this procedure, the Verisyse™ Phakic IOL is inserted through a small incision and placed behind your cornea and in front of your iris to work with your eye’s natural lens to improve your distance vision. The term “phakic” means that your natural lens is left in place, therefore your vision does not lose the focusing, or accommodating, ability to see near objects and the IOL can be removed if needed. The Verisyse procedure is an outpatient treatment where you will be sedated and takes about 15 minutes to perform.
