New treatment available at KE Eye Centers of
Texas
KE Eye Centers of Texas is the first in the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex 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,1,2,3 but also provide UV protection
and excellent night vision4. The Visian Toric ICL eliminates
multiple surgical procedures by correcting astigmatism and myopia
simultaneously5. In a procedure that takes less than 30 minutes,
Visian Toric ICL lets doctors treat more patients with astigmatism
and myopia while preserving the corneal structure of the eye.
“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 KE Eye Centers, who
will be among the first practices in Texas to offer this technology
to their 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 98.4% of patients would have the
Visian Toric ICL surgery again6.
“As one of the more experienced Visian ICL surgeons in the
Metroplex, I am excited to see the addition of Visian Toric ICL to
my options for patients. At KE Eye Centers of Texas, we provide a
personalized option for each patient to achieve the freedom from
glasses and contact lenses, said Dr. Loan Ramsey, of KE Eye
Centers.
