Global Laser Vision Medical Center, Inc. of San Diego Offers Intacs Corneal Implants

(Vocus) November 13, 2009 -- Global Laser Vision Medical Center, Inc., a clinic located in San Diego California that has provided its patients with countless solutions for eye and sight problems, hereby announces that it is offering consumers the opportunity to obtain a product known as Intacs Corneal Implants, which is a new innovation designed to help patients suffering from a condition known as keratoconus. Information regarding this availability can be found at the URL http://www.globallaservision.com/ and those suffering from this condition are encouraged to learn more about the product and the solutions available.

Keratoconus is an eye condition that’s progressive in nature and which attacks the cornea, which is the clear surface that exists on the front of the eye. As the disease advances, patients who suffer from it tend to lose their ability to see to the point where corrective eye glasses or contact lenses are no longer a viable solution. Eventually, patients will progress to the point of blindness.

Traditionally, the only potential solution available to patients who have contracted keratoconus is to undergo corneal transplant surgery. This procedure carries with it some degree of risk and is also generally extremely expensive, such that many patients face a difficult choice regarding how to proceed. Intacs Corneal Implants provide patients with a cost-effective, minimally surgical alternative that allows them to regain their ability to see. This product has obtained approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Specifically, Intacs Corneal Implants provide the following benefits to patients:

•    They are safe, removable and replaceable

•    They reduce myopia and astigmatism associated with keratocunus

•    They restore the cornea to its normal shape

•    A much shorter recovery time for the patient as compared to corneal implants
