Locating an eye surgeon qualified to perform the Visian ICL implantation procedure is the first step toward a life potentially free of glasses and contact lenses. Our easy-to-use search tool (located below) allows you to search for a qualified eye surgeon by country or city.

Once you find a qualified eye surgeon who treats myopia, hyperopia* or astigmatism* in your area, schedule an appointment for an eye examination and consultation. All of the ophthalmologists and surgeons on our list are trained in the Visian ICL implantation procedure, but they each have a distinct practice philosophy and may offer differing levels of patient care. It is important for you to feel comfortable with the myopia eye surgeon that you select for your refractive surgery. You may need to meet with more than one surgeon before you find the surgeon to perform your Visian ICL surgery.

When meeting with an eye surgeon, be sure to ask any questions you may have about the Visian ICL implantation procedure. You may also want to ask questions regarding:

• The eye surgeon's experience implanting the Visian ICL to correct myopia, hyperopia* or astigmatism
• The surgeon's experience in cataract IOL surgery (since the implantation techniques are similar to the Visian ICL procedure)
  
• The follow-up care provided by the physician
  
• The opportunity to review testimonials from the myopia eye surgeon's other Visian ICL patients who had myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism correction
  
• The insurance coverage and / or payment plan options available through the practice

*Visian ICL's are approved in the U.S. to correct myopia. ICL's that correct for astigmatism or hyperopia have not been approved for use in the U.S.
