• Although the technology is already available in Europe, Australia and Asia, Clearview Institute is the first to introduce PiXL it to Canada.

What conditions does PiXL ™ Vision Correction Procedure address?

Patients who are:

• Ineligible for laser vision correction,
• Feel uncomfortable undergoing surgery, or
• Whose prescription is mild enough that they think laser vision correction isn’t right for them can now benefit from improved vision.

PiXL ™ improves your vision and reduces your dependency on the high cost of glasses and contacts. PiXL ™ will simplify your life in many ways.

How does PiXL ™ Vision Correction Procedure work?

PiXL ™ gently reshapes and strengthens the cornea without surgery using a combination of eye drops and light. This makes the procedure completely non-invasive. We can complete the process in 20 or 30 minutes.

These are the steps:

1. We apply riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops to the cornea. Riboflavin is a naturally occurring, non-toxic photosensitizer.
2. We shine ultraviolet A (UVA) light on the riboflavin-soaked cornea, in equal or less exposure to that of summer sunlight.
3. The UVA light strengthens and reshapes the cornea by cross-linking corneal collagen fibres, improving your vision.
