Intacs are prescription inserts used to correct mild levels of nearsightedness. They can be removed/replaced in the future and are non invasive to the central cornea. For many these implants are a great solution as well as an alternative to laser surgery and other treatment methods and are FDA approved.

Intacs are micro-thin and are inserted just under the outer edge of the cornea in your eye on an outpatient basis. By reshaping the curvature of your eye to correct minor nearsightedness Intacs provide crisp and clear vision. As an added benefit no tissue is removed or damaged in the cornea.

The current statistic is that over 97% of patients who decide to have utilize Intacs are able to obtain a driver’s liscense without the use of glasses or contact lenses and over half end up with vision that is better than “perfect” or 20/20 vision.
