- The implant is inserted behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of your natural lens.
What to Expect
The procedure itself usually takes 20 minutes or less, and both eyes can be treated on the same day.
Factors that determine if you are a candidate for Visian ICL™ and Visian Toric ICL™ include:
