What is EVO Visian ICL?

The EVO Visian ICL Lens, also called Implantable Collamer® Lenses, is an advanced, refractive implant used to precisely correct common vision issues such as nearsightedness with or without astigmatism. Unlike othern methods that involve removing any corneal tissue, the EVO Visian ICL lens works as an additive technology by adding to the eye’s natural structure. This makes it an ideal choice for patients who may not be candidates for LASIK due to factors like thin corneas.

This sophisticated technology significantly reduces or entirely eliminates the need for daily reliance on glasses or contact lenses, providing clear, sharp vision. Unlike most permanent surgical solutions, EVO Visian ICL is easily removable by your doctor, offering an added layer of peace of mind and flexibility for the future.

No, the procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

How long does the procedure take?

The EVO Visian ICL procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes per eye. It is a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.

Will I still need glasses after the procedure?

The goal of the EVO Visian ICL is to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contacts. While many patients achieve 20/20 vision, some may still require reading glasses as they age.

How long is the recovery time after the procedure?

Recovery is relatively quick. Most patients can resume normal activities the day after the procedure, although you should avoid strenuous exercise for a few days. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to ensure proper healing.

Is the EVO Visian ICL permanent?

Yes, the EVO Visian ICL provides long-lasting results. However, the lens is removable by a doctor if necessary, offering additional peace of mind.

How is EVO ICL different from LASIK?

The primary difference is that LASIK reshapes the cornea by removing tissue with a laser, while EVO ICL leaves the cornea untouched. This makes EVO ICL a great option for patients with thin corneas, chronic dry eye, or those who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.

Is the EVO ICL visible to others?

No, the EVO ICL is placed behind the iris, the colored part of your eye. It is completely invisible to you and to anyone looking at you.

Important Safety Information for EVO Visian ICL

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.
