Are you tired of glasses and contacts? Are you seeking a way to achieve clearer vision and change your life? Vision correction procedures are incredibly popular these days and with good reason.

If you want clearer vision, the ability to see without boundaries, and eyesight like you’ve only dreamed possible, it’s time to consider a vision correction procedure. Glasses and contacts don’t have to be your only options anymore.

Instead, these procedures can change your vision, giving you complete visual freedom. The vision correction procedure most people are familiar with is LASIK.

But LASIK isn’t the only vision correction surgery out there. One of the most exciting and revolutionary procedures available to qualified patients is the EVO ICL.

The EVO ICL is a minimally invasive vision correction procedure with many advantages that help improve vision and ensure you can see clearly. The EVO ICL is going to change your life, but the real question is, are you ready for it?

The Next Evolution in Vision Correction Procedures

The EVO in EVO ICL is short for evolution. That’s because the EVO ICL is the next step in the evolution of vision correction.

What does the ICL stand for? It stands for Implantable Collamer Lens because the EVO ICL is a lens implant. But it’s also much more than that!

How Does the EVO ICL Work?

The EVO ICL is an additive lens, meaning it’s added to the eye to improve how it functions. However, it does not remove tissue from the eye or remove your natural lens to improve your vision the way that an intraocular lens would.

Instead, it works like any other kind of lens. It changes the way light refracts to compensate for a refractive error. But unlike a lens used with your glasses or contacts, which sit outside or on top of your eye, the EVO ICL sits inside your eye, right between your iris and natural lens.

Having the EVO ICL implanted is a simple and minimally invasive procedure. First, you’ll have your eyes numbed with eye drops.

Then, a tiny incision is made in your eye. Your surgeon will fold the EVO ICL and push it through the incision. The EVO ICL will then unfurl before it’s positioned inside your eye.

It takes only a matter of minutes per eye to perform the procedure. After that, you can look forward to a quick recovery and visual improvements, as most patients start noticing better vision almost immediately.

Achieve the Vision of Your Dreams

Most patients who choose the EVO ICL achieve 20/20 vision or better! The procedure can help you see without glasses or contact lenses and enables you to see better than you ever could, even with glasses or contact lenses.

After all, it’s correcting your vision beyond your original prescription, ensuring you can see more clearly, crisply, and sharply than you ever thought possible. It’s no accident that the EVO ICL lets you see the world in crisp definition.

You can permanently alter your vision so you can see clearly without glasses or contact lenses for years and years to come!

Other EVO ICL Advantages

The EVO ICL can correct your vision to an incredible degree, but what makes it different from other vision correction procedures? Here are just a few of the critical advantages of choosing the EVO ICL surgery over other procedures:

No Corneal Flap

LASIK requires creating a corneal flap, which is a flap made from the transparent front part of your eye. This flap is lifted, and then corneal tissue is removed under the flap with a laser to correct your vision.

This technique makes LASIK highly advanced, but it also means you can’t undergo LASIK if you have thin corneas. If you otherwise qualify for LASIK but have thin corneas, EVO ICL may be your perfect vision correction procedure!

EVO ICL doesn’t require creating a corneal flap, meaning corneal thickness is less important if you want the procedure.

High Prescriptions for Nearsightedness Welcome

While laser eye procedures like LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to high degrees, the EVO ICL can correct more significant amounts of nearsightedness. The EVO ICL can only correct nearsightedness and astigmatism but can correct nearsightedness up to -23.00 D, nearly two times what LASIK can correct!

EVO ICL may be the best way to ensure full vision correction if you’re incredibly nearsighted.

Easy Recovery After the Procedure

The EVO ICL is less invasive than laser eye procedures like LASIK. Because only a tiny incision is made, barely any corneal tissue is disturbed.

This means an easier recovery, with less risk for post-surgical dry eye. The EVO ICL is also highly biocompatible because the additive lens is made from collamer derived from collagen. Collagen is a protein naturally produced by your body.

Because of this, your eye recognizes the EVO ICL as an organic substance rather than a foreign body, so it’s seen as biocompatible and in harmony with the chemistry of your eye. This also contributes to more post-surgical comfort, as once the EVO ICL integrates with your eye, you won’t be able to feel it. Nobody will know it’s in your eye except for you, as it’s completely invisible once implanted.

Completely Reversible

The EVO ICL is the only reversible vision correction procedure. Once implanted, the EVO ICL can stay inside your eye indefinitely and never needs removal.

However, you can remove it anytime if you change your mind about the EVO ICL. Knowing this can give you much-needed peace of mind, as permanently changing your vision with a procedure can be daunting. While most patients are satisfied with the EVO ICL, knowing that removal is an option can ease the decision-making process, especially for those who are hesitant.
