Sioux Falls, SD (November 26th, 2007) -- Laser vision correction is often an option for patients who are considering refractive surgery to improve their vision. However, in patients with higher degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness, the cornea may be too thin to allow full refractive correction. In cases like these surgical implants may be the best alternative. These special devices, called phakic IOLs or intraocular lenses, act like contact lenses implanted inside the eye.

Implant procedures offer several advantages:
  • they can correct severely unfocused vision
  • they're removable
  • and they may be combined with laser vision correction for even greater success.
Dr. Vance Thompson of Sanford Clinic, Vance Thompson Vision has been asked to participate as a leading national researcher with this new Phakic IOL.

To learn more about if you may be a candidate for this reduced-fee FDA monitored clinical study, attend Vance Thompson Vision's Implant Vision Correction Seminar, Tuesday, December 4th, at 6:00 PM in the Schroeder Auditorium at Sanford USD Medical Center. Seating is limited so call 888-849-1963 to reserve your seat.

The LASIK procedure is the right answer for most patients who are considering refractive surgery to improve their vision. However, in patients with higher degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness, the cornea may be too thin to allow full refractive correction.

In these cases, surgical implants may be the best alternative. These special devices are placed in the eyes to improve their focusing ability.
