Depending : Depending on the amount of nearsightedness lasik or visian icl are the most common options. An increasing number of patients are opting for the visian icl. This is a permanent contact lens that is placed behind the colored portion of your eye. There is no maintenance required. If you desired you could have the lens removed.
