Why has location of this board changed from Biotechs to user groups? Question better addressed to Dew, I guess.

ICL = implantable contact lens. An ICL is simply an IOL that is used in addition to the eye’s endogenous lens rather than in place of it (as in cataract surgery); however, these terms get blurred in practice (hehe) and are often used interchangeably.

There are two FDA-approved ICL’s: Verisyse from EYE and Visian from STAA. The former is implanted in front of the iris and the latter is implanted behind it, but the clinical outcomes are similar.

I replied here because STAA and EYE are companies that are discussed on the board from time to time. Regards, Dew

I have them, they are still being implanted (at least they were 3 months ago when I had a checkup).
