Part one requires the use of a YAG Laser to make two small openings in peripheral iris. The openings guard against possible elevation of intraocular pressure immediately following the implantation of the iContact Lens.

Part two is the insertion of the lens.

The lens will be folded and loaded into a small cartridge which will be placed through the incision. As the lens is inserted, it will gently unfold in the eye. Once the lens has fully unfolded, the four corners of the lens will be placed behind your iris and in front of the crystalline lens. This makes the lens invisible to both you and others.
