EVO Visian ICL

The EVO Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is the latest advancement in implantable lens technology, used for correcting vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. It is an upgraded version of the traditional Visian ICL and has quickly gained popularity due to its enhanced design and benefits.

Key Features of EVO Visian ICL

No Peripheral Iridotomy Required

Wide Range of Vision Correction

Biocompatible Material

Improved Safety

Reversible and Adjustable

  • As with the traditional ICL, the lens can be removed or replaced if necessary.

  • The EVO lens is designed with a central port to facilitate natural fluid flow in the eye, reducing the risk of intraocular pressure complications.

  • Made from Collamer®, a unique material that is biocompatible and incorporates UV protection.

  • Corrects moderate to severe myopia (up to -20D).

  • Corrects astigmatism (up to 6D).

  • Unlike the traditional Visian ICL, the EVO lens eliminates the need for a pre-surgery peripheral iridotomy, making the procedure quicker and more comfortable for patients.

Procedure Overview

Evaluation

Custom Lens Design

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Post-Surgery Recovery

  • Performed under local anesthesia.

  • A tiny incision is made to insert the lens, which is then positioned between the iris and natural lens.

  • The incision typically heals without sutures.

  • The lens is custom-made to fit your eye and correct your specific refractive error.

  • A thorough eye examination ensures you are a suitable candidate for the EVO Visian ICL.

  • Vision often improves immediately, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.

Advantages of EVO Visian ICL

Better Vision Quality

No Dry Eye Risk

Preserves Corneal Integrity

Quick and Painless Recovery

  • Minimal downtime with most patients seeing significant improvements within 24 hours.

  • The cornea remains unaltered, making it suitable for patients with thin or irregular corneas.

  • Unlike LASIK, it doesn’t affect the corneal nerves, which reduces the risk of dry eye.

  • Provides clear and sharp vision, even in low-light conditions.

Potential Risks

  • Glare or halos around lights.

  • Increased intraocular pressure (managed with follow-ups).

  • Risk of cataract formation in rare cases.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, though they are rare

The EVO Visian ICL is an excellent option for patients who want an alternative to LASIK, particularly those with high myopia, thin corneas, or dry eyes.
