EVO Implantable Collamer Lens

What is EVO ICL?

The EVO ICL (implantable Collamer lens) is a type of advanced soft-material lens that’s made of 100% biocompatible collagen copolymer. This lens replacement option provides UV protection as well as permanent sight correction, offering patients vision that’s clearer, sharper, and more vivid than what they could achieve with glasses or contacts. Unlike some other eye surgery types, the EVO ICL procedure does not permanently change the shape of your cornea and can be removed if necessary.

Reasons to Choose EVO ICL

There are many reasons to choose the EVO implantable Collamer lens, including:

No disruption of the corneal nerves
A short recovery time
The chance to correct vision for patients with high glasses or contact lens prescriptions
A vision correction option for patients with a cornea that is too thin for laser-based procedures
An option for individuals with dry eyes
UV protection to the inner eye
Unlike other eye surgery types, the procedure is reversible if necessary

Who is a Candidate for EVO ICL?

To be a candidate for the EVO ICL, individuals must be between the ages of 21 and 45 and suffer from moderate-to-severe nearsightedness. The procedure can be performed on individuals with or without astigmatism.

The Advantages of EVO ICL

Immediate Vision Improvement

With an EVO ICL, you’ll achieve immediate vision correction at all distances. This will reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts.

A New Level of Vision

After the procedure, your new lens will allow you to achieve a new, high-definition level of vision. Your vision will be clearer, sharper, and more vivid, and you’ll have more depth and dimension. Your ability to drive at night will improve as well, as this procedure will reduce or eliminate halos and glare.

Permanent Vision Correction

The EVO ICL can permanently correct your vision. But another advantage of this procedure is that it can be removed and/or replaced if deemed necessary.

Short Recovery Time

Your recovery time for the EVO ICL will be short and pain-free. In some cases, patients recover in as little as a day, with minimal discomfort, and return to work the following day.

UV Protection

Over time, exposure to UV radiation will damage your eyes. One advantage of ICL over other types of eye surgery is that the lens material contains a UV blocker. This prevents harmful UVA and UVB rays from entering your eye. This may prevent the development of eye disorders caused by UV rays.
