EVO ICL – Lens-Based Vision Correction
EVO ICL, also known as the Implantable Collamer Lens or ICL.
This micro thin lens which is implanted behind the iris and
in front of the natural lens inside the eye to correct the refractive error or
prescription needed for clear vision. ICL is similar to contact lens
but, with a contact lens daily maintenance is required like cleaning and inserting
on a daily basis, while EVO ICL is implanted inside the eye to provide sharp, clear vision.
If we talk about the vision comparison, vision with ICL will be far better because ICL
doesn’t move or cause dry eye like contact lenses and can also correct the both spherical
and cylinder power.
Imagine Your Life with Visual Freedom
EVO ICL or Implantable Collamer® Lens, is a product of STAAR
Surgical based in California, USA, which corrects common vision problems, like near-sightedness,
astigmatism, and
far-sightedness, with or without astigmatism.
EVO ICL is a soft, very thin, flexible& Biocompatible lens that is
positioned in your eye between the iris (coloured part of the eye) and your
natural
lens.
EVO ICL can be described as additive vision correction. Unlike
other procedures, the EVO ICL procedure does not remove the corneal tissue, but
works in harmony with your natural eyes to provide exceptional quality of
vision both day and night.
The EVO ICL Procedure
EVO ICL implantation procedure is a type of refractive procedure to help correct
the
most common visual problem, myopia. Simply put, EVO ICL which is a
removable lens
implant is an attractive alternative to LASIK and other refractive
procedures.
Before you schedule your EVO ICL surgery appointment, your doctor will perform a
series
of standard tests to measure your eye’s unique characteristics for the
procedure. If you
are farsighted, your doctor may recommend or schedule an additional pre-op
procedure.
Its hardly a ten minutes procedure and does not require any
injection and
bandage for surgery. You need just protective glass for few days after surgery.
Recovery is quick. Most people see an immediate vision
improvement and are able to go back to work the next day.

ICL Q & A
Exactly where is the EVO ICL placed in
the eye?
EVO ICL is placed behind the iris and in front of the eye’s natural
lens so it’s undetectable to any observers. Only a trained doctor using special
instrumentation will be able to tell that vision correction has taken place.
What is the history of the ICL?
Over the past 30 years, ICLs have been implanted in over 3,000,000 eyes
worldwide.
Why is Collamer such a great material for the
eye?
The Collamer lens is soft, pliable, biocompatible material primarily made of collagen that offers UV protection.
Are patients happy with the EVO Visian
ICL?
Of patients having the EVO ICL procedure, 99.4% would choose to have
the EVO ICL
procedure again.
Can the EVO ICL be removed in the future
if my prescription changes?
Yes! The EVO ICL offers treatment flexibility.If your vision changes
dramatically, the lens can be removed or replaced.
How long can EVO ICL stay in the
eye?
The EVO ICL is designed to stay in your eye permanently but can be
removed to keep pace
with advancing technology and your future needs.
Does the procedure remove tissue from my
eye?
No, the EVO ICL is inserted gently in the eye with no removal of
corneal tissue like laser vision correction procedures.
Can the EVO ICL dry out or get dirty
like a contact lens?
The EVO ICL avoids such problems experienced with traditional
contact lenses. It is designed to remain in place inside the eye, without maintenance. A
routine, annual visit with an eye doctor is recommended to make sure everything remains
safe and effective.
How the EVO ICL Corrects Nearsightedness
and Astigmatism
EVO ICL functions to focus light properly back onto the retina in a
similar way glasses and contact lenses do. The EVO ICL is placed into a space of
the eye directly behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and in front of the
natural lens. In this position, the EVO ICL functions to focus light properly
onto the retina helping create clear distance vision. In the US FDA study 54% of patients saw better
with the EVO ICL over their contact lenses and glasses.
