Implantable contact lens, also called implantable collamer lens in USA, is a lens implanted in the cornea of the eye to correct vision problems. It offers an effective and permanent solution for moderate and high myopia and other vision problems. Implantable contact lens is also the ideal option for those who want to avoid the use of glasses.

Features
Collamer, a blend of collagen and polyhema is the material used in the manufacture of implantable contact lens. Implanting the lens is a safe and speedy procedure and the physician needs to make a 3 millimeter incision in the eyes only. Implanting is done without the need for any stitches. For patients suffering from high myopia, implantable contact lens is the best treatment available presently. Implantable contact lens has proved to be more effective than LASIK in myopia patients.

Survey Results
Implantable contact lens is a result of several years of research. Implantable contact lens was launched only after several successful field tests were carried out among myopia patients in the age group 22 – 45. The results of field tests were very encouraging and most reported 20/ 20 vision, though some had 20/40 vision. In every case, there was appreciable improvement and no one reported getting worse after the implanting. Implantable contact lens is also a remedy for double vision, seeing halos, light glares and difficulty in seeing at night.
