Visian ICL: Outperforming LASIK for the U.S. Army?

And now, Visian’s superior performance has the attention of the Chief of Refractive Surgery at the Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, Texas.

U.S. Army Major Gregory Parkhurst, MD, has recently noted that while wavefront-optimized LASIK has performed adequately for many patients, the Visian ICL might be a better option for myopic soldiers, given their special visual needs, particularly at night:

“There's something about the quality of vision with this lens that is much better than laser vision correction…Soldiers are now asking for ICLs as their first option, even when their corneas have no extra risk factors from LASIK or PRK. An OR nurse last week told me he was approached when he was out shopping at the commissary and asked about how to get on the list for a Collamer lens”.
