Schedule Free ConsultationWhat happens in the EVO Visian ICL™ eye surgery?
EVO Visian ICL™ is placed inside the eye surgically without laser removal of corneal tissue or removal of the natural lens. By not removing the natural lens, the eye can still focus from far to near without the need for reading glasses or a reading contact lens.
The EVO Visian ICL™ is indicated for the correction of nearsightedness (-3.00 to -20.00 D) and farsightedness or hyperopia (+3.00 to +20.00 D). It is anchored in front of the crystalline lens behind the pupil of the eye and functions much like a traditional contact lens except that it is left indefinitely and cannot be seen or felt by the patient. Surgical results are effective immediately, with only a short recovery period.
Schedule Free ConsultationQuality of Vision
EVO Visian ICL offers unparalleled quality of vision, providing excellent contrast. Two unique factors help explain this superior optical performance. First, EVO Visian ICL is made of Collamer – a soft, flexible lens material that contains a small amount of collagen – making the lens extremely biocompatible for a lifetime of clear vision. Second, the lens is placed inside the eye, where it continues to focus light accurately without any maintenance required.
Frequently asked questions
Is EVO Visian ICL™ permanent?
EVO Visian ICL™ is designed to be permanent inside the eye. However, unlike laser procedures that permanently remove tissue from the eye, EVO Visian ICL™ is removable and replaceable.
Are both eyes implanted with EVO Visian ICL™ at the same time?
Not usually. The eyes are usually implanted 1-2 weeks apart.
Can EVO Visian ICL™ correct all degrees of nearsightedness and farsightedness?
Once FDA approved, EVO Visian ICL™ will be able to correct nearsightedness from -3.00 to -20.00 and farsightedness +3.0 to +20.
Can EVO Visian ICL™ focus both far and near?
No. EVO Visian ICL™ does not focus far and near, the natural crystalline lens provides the ability to focus far and near for most people under age 45.
Are there risks of complications associated with EVO Visian ICL™
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks of complications. EVO Visian ICL™ is placed inside the eye behind the iris (colored part of the eye) and in front of the eye’s focusing lens. An occasional patient (less than 3%) may develop a cataract. Although most of these cataracts are not progressive requiring surgery, a rare patient may require removal of EVO Visian ICL™ removal of the cataract, and implantation of a new lens to clear and correct the vision.
Can I have EVO Visian ICL™ if I’ve had LASIK?
Yes, and vice versa. A LASIK patient who did not receive full vision correction from the laser procedure can have certain degrees of residual or recurrent refractive errors corrected by implantation of EVO Visian ICL™. Alternatively, an EVO Visian ICL™ patient who has a residual refractive error can have LASIK to “fine-tune” the vision.
