EVO ICL™ FAQs

 

What Is EVO ICL?

The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is an advanced soft-material lens composed of 100% biocompatible collagen copolymer. It provides UV protection and permanent vision correction, while giving patients a quality of vision that is sharper, clearer, and more vivid than that what one can achieve with glasses or contacts.

Additionally, unlike LASIK, the EVO ICL is removable, if necessary, and the procedure does not permanently alter the shape of your cornea.

Is EVO ICL Better Than LASIK?

EVO ICL is a great option for improving vision for patients who have high levels of nearsightedness or astigmatism and are not good candidates for LASIK eye surgery in OKC. LASIK is a great option for patients who want to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, and EVO ICL is ideal for patients with more severe vision correction needs.

EVO ICL is better for patients with severe astigmatism than LASIK because it does not involve removing any of the eye’s natural tissue to correct vision.

To date more than 2,000,000 EVO ICLs have been implanted in patients worldwide. 

In fact, based upon the EVO ICL clinical trial more than 99.4% of patients would have the procedure again.

Elite athletes, celebrities, and military personnel have chosen the EVO ICL™.

Is EVO ICL worth it?

For many patients, EVO ICL is absolutely worth it. It offers clear, sharp vision without the need for glasses or contacts, and it’s especially ideal for people with high prescriptions or dry eyes who may not be good candidates for LASIK. Unlike some other procedures, the EVO ICL can be removed if necessary, giving it an added layer of flexibility. Many patients find the life-changing freedom from corrective lenses to be well worth the investment.

Is the EVO ICL FDA approved?

Yes. The EVO ICL received approval from the FDA for a wide range of myopic (nearsightedness) correction needs, with and without astigmatism.

The EVO ICL received FDA approval in 2005 and the new generation EVO ICL in 2022.

What are the benefits of EVO ICL Surgery?

EVO ICL surgery 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:

  • Sharp, clear vision
  • Excellent night vision
  • Does not cause dry eye syndrome
  • Quick procedure and recovery
  • No removal of corneal tissue
  • Removable by your doctor
  • Protection from UV rays
How is the EVO ICL procedure performed?

Vision correction with the EVO ICL procedure is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. After an initial exam with your eye doctor to determine if the EVO ICL is right for you, you will schedule your procedure.

On the day of the procedure, your eyes will be numbed with an anesthetic eye drop and your refractive eye surgeon will implant the ICL between the iris (colored part of the eye) and the natural lens. The procedure is painless, and your vision will be improved immediately.

Your surgeon will likely schedule a follow-up appointment the same day as the procedure.

What is EVO ICL surgery?

EVO ICL is an implantable collamer lens (ICL) that is implanted in the eye behind the iris (the colored part of your eye) to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness and astigmatism.

The lens is smaller than a contact lens, making it a safe and simple procedure for vision correction. Collamer is a biocompatible material that works in harmony with the eye, making it safe for surgical use. Unlike laser vision correction surgeries like LASIK that permanently change the shape of your cornea, the EVO ICL procedure is additive, meaning that no corneal tissue is removed.
