insertable lenses are one of the
most exciting new breakthroughs in the field of enhanced
vision care. After many years of study in the United
States and in Europe, insertable lenses are
now approved by FDA to correct nearsightedness.
The quick and easy outpatient procedure
can be performed in 10 to 15 minutes, and results
in immediate improvement to the patient's vision.
insertable lenses can also be updated easily
with a new prescription should vision change in the
future.
Dr. Boxer Wachler offers two FDA-approved
lenses from which to choose. To learn more about either,
