The EVO ICL Difference

The EVO ICL procedure is unique in that it is an additive vision correction surgery. LASIK and its modern derivatives correct vision by reshaping (removing) corneal tissue. The EVO ICL corrects vision by surgically adding a biocompatible, soft, collamer lens behind the iris (colored part of the eye). The lens cannot be seen or felt, but is effective for correcting a wide range of prescriptions. Because the EVO ICL is additive, no tissue is removed, the eye remains fully intact and the procedure is reversible. Due to the position of the lens, many people obtain better vision with the EVO ICL than is possible with contact lenses or glasses. It is often an excellent choice for patients with high prescriptions, thin corneas, or patients with concerns regarding dry eyes or high-quality night time vision. The EVO ICL procedure may be an option for you even if you have been told in the past that you are not a candidate for LASIK surgery.

Important Safety Information

The EVO Visian ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian 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 Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, before considering EVO Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO Visian ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. Complications, although rare, may include 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 Visian ICL surgery if your doctor determines that 1) the shape of your eye is not appropriate, 2) you do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation, 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma, 4) your vision is not stable; or 5) if you are pregnant or nursing.
