What is EVO ICL™?
The EVO ICL™ (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a contact lens placed inside the eye. It is a safe and effective option for a wide range of nearsightedness and astigmatism. The procedure is additive and can be removed if necessary.
How it Works
- A small, self-sealing incision is made in the cornea.
- The implant is inserted behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of your natural lens.
What to Expect
The procedure itself usually takes 20 minutes or less, and both eyes can be treated on the same day.
This vision correction solution is additive and can be removed, if necessary.
Factors that determine if you are a candidate for EVO ICL™ include:
- Your age
- Your lifestyle
- Your eyeglass prescription
- Pupil size
- The health of your eyes
- Corneal thickness
Your EVO ICL™ experience begins with a complimentary consultation. At this visit, you and your Doctor will work together to determine if this additive vision correction solutions is right for you.
Based on the results of your evaluation and conversations with your Doctor, a procedure other than a contact lens implant may be appropriate. Other procedures include: LASIK, PRK or an Refractive Lens Exchange.
Before your procedure, you will have the opportunity to speak with a ReVision Team Member to ask any additional questions and review your post EVO ICL™ care.
During the procedure, your safety and comfort is our top priority. You will be given drops to numb your eyes. You will remain awake, and your Surgeon will talk you through the entire process.
We recommend sleeping after your procedure as you will be most comfortable with your eyes closed. Typically, healing from EVO ICL™ can include blurry vision and slight discomfort in your eyes. You may also experience sensitivity to light, redness, and dry or watery eyes. A follow-up exam is scheduled the day after your procedure. Most EVO ICL™ patients experience significantly improved vision after surgery, and vision continues to improve over the next few days.
