What is EVO Visian ICL?
EVO Visian ICL, also known as an Implantable Collamer® Lens, is a premium refractive solution to correct myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Unlike other vision correction procedures, the EVO Visian ICL is an additive technology meaning your natural eye is left untouched. Although the EVO Vision ICL is meant to be a permanent vision solution, it can be removed by your doctor. The EVO Visian ICL is soft, flexible, and made up of collagen, a biocompatible material that works in harmony with your natural eye.
At Skyline LASIK,
Dr. Chang – along with his educated staff – takes time to fully assess your overall eye health and vision goals to determine if the EVO Visian ICL is a good option for you.
Ideal candidates for EVO Visian ICL:
- Are between the ages of 21-45
- Have moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism
- Have thin corneas and/or diagnosed with mild keratoconus
- Suffer from dry eyes and/or diagnosed with certain autoimmune diseases
- Were told they weren’t a good candidate for laser vision correction
- Are looking for a premium solution to correct their vision
What to Expect During the EVO Visian ICL Procedure
The EVO Visian ICL procedure is performed at a nearby Ambulatory Surgical Center. You will receive relaxing medication along with medicated eye drops at the beginning of your procedure to make you comfortable. Dr. Chang will then create three small incisions on the side of your cornea that he will use to insert and position your EVO Visian ICL implant. The entire procedure is performed in less than 20-30 minutes, and you will begin to enjoy your vision right away. Dr. Chang will then continue to follow you over the course of several weeks to ensure you are healing well.
