EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer® Lens that corrects common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. Collamer is a biocompatible material that works in harmony with the eye. The lens, which is slightly smaller than a typical contact lens, is implanted in the eye during a 20 to 30 minute procedure. Unlike laser vision correction surgeries that permanently change the shape of your cornea, the EVO ICL procedure is additive, meaning that no corneal tissue is removed. Worldwide, more than 2 million EVO ICL lenses have been sold.
EVO ICL offers many benefits for patients who are candidates for the ICL procedure and are seeking a vision solution that allows them the freedom of less dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The advantages of EVO ICL include:
People who want a flexible and biocompatible vision correction option, as well as many patients who are not candidates for laser vision correction, find that EVO ICL is the right procedure for them. Ideal candidates for EVO ICL:
Vision correction with the EVO ICL is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. After an initial exam with your ophthalmologist to determine that the EVO ICL is right for you, the procedure will be scheduled for you. On the day of the procedure, your eyes will be numbed with an anaesthetic eye drop and your refractive surgeon will implant the ICL between the iris (coloured part of the eye) and the natural lens. Your surgeon will likely schedule a follow-up appointment the same day as the procedure.
Yes; the EVO ICL is intended to provide permanent vision correction, but it can be removed or upgraded by your surgeon.
No, patients should not feel the lens as it does not adhere to any structures within the eye and does not move once in place.
No, the EVO Lens is placed behind your iris where only your eye doctor will be able to detect it.
Any medical procedure has certain risks associated with it. Potential 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. While these potential risks are mitigated as much as possible, they can all typically be addressed early and without long-term side effects.
