He says that patients can see results within hours of having the surgery. Everything looks more in focus with a slight haziness that clears within 12-24 hours. Implantable contact lenses are unique in that they are made from a protein plastic hybrid material which has a phenomenal life span with no deterioration over time.

So typically, what patients describe is, immediately afterward they find their eyes are much more in focus. You know, the world is in focus. They also describe a haziness or a fogginess over the vision. That typically clears within 12 to 24 hours, and the next day, patients typically are seeing 20\/20 or close to it.Interviewer: That\u2019s amazing.Alex Shortt: It is incredible, yes.Interviewer: And presumably, they last inside your eyes. They\u2019re permanent?Alex Shortt: What\u2019s unique about ICLs is the fact that they’re not plastic but actually, a protein plastic hybrid material. This means that their lifespan is phenomenal and you don\u2019t get deterioration of the material over time. It literally lasts hundreds of years.If you\u2019d like to know more about vision corrective surgery, book a free initial screening today and I will personally answer your questions.
