Choosing an implantable lens procedure is a life-changing decision that can significantly improve your vision and quality of life. At Dr. Brian’s practice in Los Angeles, CA, you receive care that’s not only expert but also fully tailored to your personal needs. With a reputation for excellence and advanced techniques, Dr. Brian is a trusted provider for those seeking long-term vision correction without the daily hassle of glasses or contact lenses.

Understanding the Implantable Lens

The implantable lens—also known as the Visian ICL—is a flexible, biocompatible lens placed behind your iris and in front of your natural lens. Unlike LASIK or PRK, no corneal tissue is removed. The lens is designed to correct nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism, and can be a great option if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for laser surgery.

Pre-Procedure Preparation

Before your procedure, you’ll undergo a comprehensive eye exam to measure your eye’s anatomy and confirm you’re a good candidate. You’ll also receive instructions about how to prepare—this may include avoiding makeup, arranging transportation, and following medication guidelines. Dr. Brian will walk you through every step so you feel confident and informed.

During the Procedure

Your implantable lens procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll return home the same day. Each eye usually takes about 10 minutes to complete, and most patients begin noticing clearer vision as soon as the following day. Dr. Brian uses advanced 1-Step Ultrasound-Guided EVO Visian ICL™ technology, which offers the benefit of enhanced precision and the ability to update the lens in the future if your prescription changes. While the goal is improved vision, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, inflammation, underwhelming visual results, or in rare cases, vision loss. That’s why Dr. Brian and every member of his team pay meticulous attention to every detail of your care.

His commitment to safety and outcomes is backed by published research and presentations at leading medical conferences, reflecting their deep expertise in this advanced lens procedure.

Recovery and Aftercare

You’ll rest briefly after the procedure, and your vision may be blurry for a few days. Eye drops will help with healing and inflammation. You’ll have follow-up visits to monitor your recovery and ensure the lens is stable. Many patients see noticeable improvement within 24 hours, and vision continues to sharpen over the following days.

Why Patients Choose Dr. Brian for Vision Correction

Dr. Brian has earned a reputation for blending innovative care with a personalized approach. His experience with implantable lenses and dedication to patient satisfaction make his Los Angeles practice a leading choice for long-term vision solutions. From initial consultation to final follow-up, you’ll be supported at every stage of your journey.

Modern Cataract Surgery: Understanding Recovery and Results

If you’re considering cataract surgery, you’re likely searching for the best outcome with the smoothest recovery. At Boxer Wachler Vision Institute, you receive care from an experienced and respected eye surgeon, Dr. Brian, who’s known for a patient-first approach and commitment to excellence. Located in Beverly Hills, CA, this practice offers state-of-the-art technology and tailored treatment to ensure optimal vision restoration.

What to Expect After Cataract Surgery

Modern cataract surgery is typically an outpatient procedure that takes less than 30 minutes. Recovery, however, is a process that requires your attention and care. Right after the procedure, your vision may be blurry, but this usually begins to clear within a few days. You should plan to rest for the remainder of the day and avoid any strenuous activities.

During the first week, it’s important to protect your eyes from dust, water, and accidental rubbing. Prescription eye drops will be part of your daily routine to aid healing and reduce inflammation. Most patients can return to everyday tasks like reading, walking, and watching TV within a couple of days, but you’ll need to follow specific aftercare instructions for best results.

Long-Term Results and Vision Improvement

Cataract surgery offers long-lasting results. Most patients experience a significant improvement in their vision, with some no longer needing glasses for certain tasks. Your exact results will depend on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) used and your overall eye health. Modern IOL options allow for correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even astigmatism in many cases.

Over time, your eyes will continue to stabilize. You’ll likely have a follow-up schedule that includes visits within the first few weeks and again later to ensure your healing is on track. If you had cataracts in both eyes, your second surgery is usually scheduled a few weeks after the first, allowing for complete healing before moving forward.

Choose Personalized Vision Care in Beverly Hills

When you entrust your care to Dr. Brian at Boxer Wachler Vision Institute in Beverly Hills, CA, you benefit from a team that’s deeply committed to personalized attention, advanced surgical techniques, and achieving the best outcomes possible. From your first consultation through post-surgical follow-ups, you receive guidance, education, and support designed around your unique needs and lifestyle. Whether your goals include reading without glasses or returning to activities you love, the practice ensures every detail of your recovery and visual results is thoughtfully managed.

If you’re ready to explore your options or want expert guidance on what to expect from cataract surgery, Dr. Brian and his team are here to help. Call 424-478-9139 to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward clearer vision and renewed confidence.

Signs You Might Be a Good Candidate for PRK

If you’re exploring options for long-term vision correction and have been told LASIK may not be right for you, then you may want to consider PRK. This advanced laser eye procedure is a time-tested alternative that can offer clearer, more stable vision—without relying on glasses or contact lenses. At Dr. Brian’s practice in Beverly Hills, you’re treated by one of the most experienced and trusted experts in the field. His personalized care and meticulous attention to detail help ensure the best possible outcome for every patient.

Your Prescription and Vision Stability Matter

One of the first signs that you might be a good candidate for PRK is having a stable vision prescription. If your vision hasn’t changed significantly in the past year, it’s a strong indicator you’re ready for a long-term correction procedure like PRK. This is especially important because a fluctuating prescription can impact the precision and longevity of your results.

Thin or Irregular Corneas? PRK Might Be Right for You

If you’ve been told that your corneas are too thin or irregular for LASIK, PRK could be a viable alternative. Unlike LASIK, PRK doesn’t require the creation of a corneal flap, which makes it a better option for those with less corneal tissue. This also reduces the risk of complications for individuals with certain corneal characteristics.

Active Lifestyle or High-Risk Occupation?

PRK may be particularly well-suited if you’re highly active or have a job that carries a higher risk of eye trauma. Since there’s no flap created during the procedure, there’s less risk of dislocation or injury post-surgery. This makes it a strong option for athletes, military personnel, and those in physically demanding careers.

Eye Health and Overall Wellness

To qualify for PRK, your eyes should be generally healthy, free of infections, or chronic conditions such as severe dry eye, glaucoma, or advanced cataracts. Additionally, your overall health should be stable. Certain autoimmune diseases or medications can interfere with healing and may make you ineligible for the procedure.

If you’re considering vision correction and want to know whether PRK is the right path for you, it’s time to consult with a seasoned professional. At Dr. Brian’s practice in Beverly Hills, CA, you’ll receive thorough testing and honest guidance tailored to your needs.

Life After LASIK: What to Expect in the First Year

If you’ve chosen Fortified LASIK with Dr. Brian, you’ve taken a major step toward clearer, sharper vision with minimal downtime. At Boxer Wachler Vision Institute, you receive advanced care that blends experience with precision, helping you feel confident and supported every step of the way. Here’s what your first year after LASIK may look like and how to best navigate it.

Immediately After Surgery

In the hours following your LASIK procedure, your eyes may feel slightly gritty or watery, and your vision could be hazy. Rest is critical during this time—plan to go home and keep your eyes closed as much as possible for the first few hours. Avoid rubbing your eyes, and use prescribed eye drops to manage dryness and reduce the risk of infection.

Most people return to their usual routines within a day or two, though you’ll want to avoid strenuous activity and direct sunlight for at least the first week. Protective eyewear may also be recommended during sleep to prevent accidental contact.

First Few Weeks: Healing and Adjustment

By the end of your first week, your vision should be noticeably clearer, though you may still experience mild glare or halos, especially at night. These effects typically diminish over time. Your eyes will continue to adjust, and it’s normal to experience fluctuations in clarity for several weeks.

Keep up with your follow-up appointments so your surgeon can monitor progress and address any concerns promptly.

Vision Stabilizes

Most patients have vision stabilize over a few weeks, but people may take longer. If your work involves screens or driving at night, be attentive to how your vision responds and report any significant changes to your doctor.

Protect your eyes with sunglasses outdoors to minimize UV exposure.

Long-Term Benefits

As the year progresses, the initial side effects typically fade. Night vision disturbances, if present, usually resolve. Your eyes will continue to strengthen, and any lingering dryness should lessen. Regular check-ins with your eye care provider remain important to ensure lasting results and eye health.

For some, minor touch-ups may be considered if optimal clarity isn’t fully achieved. Most people, however, enjoy stable, unaided vision with no need for glasses or contacts.
