Phakic Lens

Own Your Vision, Unique As You Are

UNIQA is a small, permanent, Swiss-made lens customized to your eye and placed inside of it, without removing or replacing your eye's own natural lens. Think of it as an additional, corrective lens working together with your natural eye, similar in idea to a contact lens, except this one sits inside the eye itself, out of sight and out of the way.

*UNIQA will be available soon; please ask your eye care professional for the latest updates.

Every eye is different, and so are the options for correcting vision.

Unlike laser vision correction, UNIQA is a reversible, additive vision correction procedure that does not remove your eye’s natural lens. It is suitable for people with risk factors for dry eye syndrome and offers the additional benefit of built-in UV protection. Made in Switzerland and customized to your eyes, UNIQA is a premium lens designed to support predictable, long-term visual outcomes.

Premium Swiss Made
Every UNIQA lens is individually manufactured in Switzerland, under the highest standards of precision and quality. It’s more than just a medical device: it’s your second set of eyes, crafted with care.

Made Just for Your Eyes
UNIQA is crafted to embrace the uniqueness of your eyes, tailored to your anatomy. The result is a lens that feels as if it were made just for you, bringing clarity, comfort, and confidence to every moment of your day.

Seamlessly Part of You
The UNIQA lens is designed to work in perfect harmony within your eyes, made from a biocompatible material. The innovative
design allows natural circulation of aqueous fluid. The lens is engineered to stay stable and effective for years to come.

How the UNIQA Procedures Works

Four steps to clear vision

Personal Consultation & Eye Mapping 
During your consultation, a personalized treatment plan is made after measuring and examining your eyes. Based on these measurements, a lens designed to fit the unique dimensions of your eye will be selected and ordered.
Preparing the Lens Insertation
On surgery day, numbing drops are applied to ensure a painless experience. Your surgeon then creates a small incision on the cornea, either manually or with the support of a femtosecond laser, small enough that stitches usually aren't needed.
Lens Insertion & Positioning
The UNIQA lens is carefully folded and gently guided through the small incision into your eye. Once inside, your surgeon unfolds it and adjusts its position with precision, making sure it sits exactly where it needs to for the best possible visual outcome, all while your natural lens remains completely undisturbed.
The insertion is quick and straightforward, typically taking only 15 to 20 minutes.
Recovery
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery is typically quick. Many patients notice an improvement in their vision within a short time, and most return to their everyday activities within just a few days. Your surgeon will give you personalized aftercare instructions to support healing.
