What is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL, also called an Implantable Collamer Lens, is a refractive implant to correct common vision issues like myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Unlike some other vision correction options, the EVO ICL is an additive technology that corrects vision without the removal of any corneal tissue. The EVO ICL is meant to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contacts and unlike most laser vision solutions, EVO ICL is removable by your doctor, for added peace of mind. 

EVO ICL Procedure - what to Expect

EVO ICL is made of biocompatible Collamer material that works in harmony with your eye. Your Eye doctor will create a small opening in your cornea that will be used to insert and position the EVO ICL. For most patients, the procedure is virtually painless with numbing drops and it typically takes less then 20 - 30 minutes for both eyes. Patients typically experience improved vision right away and a quick recovery time.

Corneal tissue being reshaped to correct vision

LASIK is a two-step laser vision correction procedure. In the first step, the surgeon gets access to the underlying tissue through one of several methods. That underlying corneal tissue that is then reshaped to correct vision.

Important Safety Information for EVO ICL

The EVO ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 F and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses, Because the EVO ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before. Since implantation of the EVO ICL is a surgical procedure, before considering EVO ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. Complications, although rare, may include the need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts, You should NOT have EVO ICL surgery if your doctor determines that 1. the shape of your eye is not appropriate, 2. you do not need the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantations, 3. you have moderate to sever glaucoma, 4. your vision is not stable, or 5. if you are pregnant or using.
