What Is the EVO ICL?

The EVO ICL is a revolutionary vision correction solution designed for individuals seeking freedom from glasses and contact lenses. This tiny, biocompatible lens is implanted in the eye to provide clear, sharp vision without removing any corneal tissue. Unlike LASIK, the EVO ICL procedure is reversible, offering unmatched flexibility for future eye care needs.

Crafted from Collamer®, a material that works harmoniously with your body, the EVO ICL is invisible and undetectable once implanted. It provides excellent vision correction for a wide range of prescriptions, including those who are not LASIK candidates due to thin corneas or high prescriptions.

The Benefits of Choosing EVO ICL Over LASIK

The EVO ICL offers numerous advantages, making it a superior choice for vision correction, particularly for those seeking a LASIK alternative. For example:

The broader prescription range corrects severe myopia (up to -20D) and astigmatism (up to 4D) beyond LASIK’s capabilities
The lens can be removed if necessary, offering reversibility for long-term peace of mind
Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL does not reshape the cornea or remove its tissue, preserving your eye's natural structure
ICL does not cause or worsen dry eye symptoms, which is a common LASIK side effect
Built-in UV protection helps safeguard your eyes from harmful rays
ICL provides clear vision even in low-light conditions for exceptional night vision
Most patients experience clear vision within a day, offering quick recovery with minimal downtime

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for EVO ICL?

EVO ICL is ideal for individuals who:

Are 18 years or older with a stable prescription for at least a year
Have moderate to severe myopia, with or without astigmatism
Are not eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas or other factors
Want a reversible and flexible vision correction option
Have healthy eyes free from other serious conditions

How Does EVO ICL Work?

The quick, painless procedure takes only 5-10 minutes per eye. Here’s what you can expect:

Custom Lens Placement: Your surgeon implants the lens between the iris and the eye’s natural lens.
Immediate Vision Improvement: The lens provides sharp, clear vision without altering the cornea.
Seamless Integration: The biocompatible material integrates naturally with your eye for optimal comfort and performance.

Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Your Coastal Eye team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
