There is a new procedure in which a corrective lens is placed under the cornea. It is showing promise in giving sharper results than laser correction. But the first patients are only 10 years out from surgery, so long term results are still uncertain.
I believe I heard this on Dr Dean Edell’s show. He urged caution since it is so new and it does involve cutting into a healthy eye.
LOL i dont think so…never heard of this anyway…contact lenses are temporary…they have to be taken out frequently otherwise they dry out the eyes…

No, contact lenses fit over the cornea, the clear part of the eye external to the iris and pupil.
You are thinking about many persons who have cataract surgery who frequently have an artificial lens implanted within the eye, behind the iris. It’s just not a contact lens.
