Tom Danielson, a professional cyclist for the American Garmin-Cervelo team, recently had eye surgery at Icon LASIK in Denver, Colorado. Tom suffered from extremely dry eyes throughout his career and was forced to wear contact lenses during his long training rides and during races. Tom?s Rx went from a -4.75 to 20/20 one day post op and 20/10 two weeks post op!

The independent ophthalmologists and optometrists for Icon LASIK determined that Tom was not a good candidate for traditional LASIK surgery. A majority of the population in Colorado (even if you have an astigmatism) can receive LASIK. However, if you are not eligible for LASIK the ICL is a great option. After receiving an ICL vision is typical 20/20 or better and there are very few complications. The Visian ICL is Icon?s lens of choice for its Colorado patients due to the unique Collamer? material.
Visian ICL surgery is an ?additive? procedure that does not involve removing tissue or irreversibly reshaping the eye. As such, it keeps the eye structure in-tact for any future surgical needs such as cataract treatment. While the Visian ICL is intended to provide permanent vision correction, the lens can be removed if necessary to restore the eye to its pre-implant state. LASIK, in contrast, is a ?reductive? procedure that permanently reshapes the eye by removing corneal tissue. More than 500 surgeons at leading vision correction centers across the US have been trained and certified to perform the implant procedure.
The Visian ICL earned the CE Mark for use in Europe, where it has been available commercially for more than a decade. The lens is currently sold in more than 40 countries and has been implanted during more than 150,000 procedures worldwide.
Icon LASIK's independent doctors treat many cyclists, not just for LASIK but also for common conditions such as dry eyes. Icon's doctors have the benefit of seeing thousands of patients every year.
