ALTERNATIVE TO LASER SURGERY

Intacs inserts are clear, thin prescription inserts placed in the periphery of the cornea by an ophthalmologist during a brief outpatient procedure. Intacs inserts reshape the curvature of the cornea from within, enhancing the natural shape of your eye to correct mild nearsightedness. Because no tissue is removed, natural optics are enhanced and the structural integrity of the cornea is maintained.


Intacs inserts cannot be felt, are no more visible than a contact lens and require no maintenance. With Intacs inserts, many people are actually seeing better than 20/20. Intacs inserts are FDA approved and are supported by more than ten years of clinical studies.


And, because Intacs inserts are prescription inserts, they can be removed or replaced if you desire or if your vision needs change. In U.S. clinical studies, of the very few people who had their Intacs removed, all were subsequently corrected to 20/20 or better.



They are almost invisible in the eye and cannot be felt.

Imagine your cornea as a tent with a curved top. If you push out the sides of the tent, the top flattens. Similarly, when Intacs inserts are placed in the sides of the cornea, they flatten it just enough to correct myopia.(small myopia)
