PHOENIX, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Now Offering the Visian Toric ICL, an Innovative Solution to Myopia and Astigmatism
New treatment available at Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, Scott Perkins, MD
Phoenix, AZ, November 1, 2018 – Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, an American Vision Partners affiliate, is the first practice in the Southwest to provide a new solution for patients with moderate to high levels of myopia and astigmatism ‒ in one simple procedure ‒ following FDA approval of STAAR Surgical's Visian Toric ICL.
The Visian Toric ICL is an additive technology in which a lens is placed behind the iris and in front of the eye's crystalline lens to correct vision. This method works with the eye to not only restore clear and sharp vision but also to provide UV protection and excellent night vision. The Visian Toric ICL eliminates multiple surgical procedures by correcting astigmatism and myopia simultaneously. In a procedure that takes less than 30 minutes, the Visian Toric ICL enables doctors to treat more patients with astigmatism and myopia while preserving the corneal structure of the eye.
"The FDA's approval of STAAR's Visian Toric ICL provides an exciting treatment option for myopic patients with astigmatism in search of visual freedom. We are pleased to partner with Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, the first practice in the Southwest to offer this technology to patients," said Jim Francese, Sr. Vice President Commercial Operations of STAAR Surgical.
FDA approval was based on results from the Visian Toric ICL clinical study, which reported that 98.4% of patients would have the Visian Toric ICL surgery again. Barnet Dulaney Perkins took part in the clinical study.
"As one of the most experienced Visian ICL surgeons in the country, I am excited to see the addition of Visian Toric ICL to my options for patients. At Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, we provide a personalized option for each patient to achieve the freedom from glasses and contact lenses, says Dr. Scott Perkins, a Founding Partner of Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center.
