Intro

Easy 20–30 Minute Procedure

A quick, painless same-day surgery that can help you achieve better vision.

Pre-Op Eye Exam

Before you schedule your EVO ICL lens (EVO) procedure your doctor will perform a series of standard tests to measure your eye’s unique characteristics for the procedure. Once your doctor determines that EVO ICL is a good option for you, they will educate you about the procedure and what to expect both during and after the procedure.

Getting Your EVO ICLs

When you arrive for your procedure your doctor will administer eye drops to dilate your pupils as well as anesthetize your eyes.

Small Opening

To prepare for the implant your doctor will create one small opening at the base of your cornea to insert the EVO ICL lens. The procedure is painless because of the numbing medication.

Lens Insertion & Positioning

The EVO ICL lens then can be folded and inserted through the small incision your doctor has made. Once the lens is inserted the doctor will make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper positioning in the eye.

Returning Home

At this point, the procedure is over and many patients will have improved vision nearly immediately. Your doctor will prescribe more eye drops intended to aid in the healing process following the procedure. You will need someone to drive you home, your doctor will tell you when your vision allows driving. See why the EVO lens is worth the wait. Click here to watch the video.

Cost blocks

How much does the EVO ICL procedure cost? Is it more expensive than LASIK?

EVO ICL and LASIK costs vary depending on various factors that may include your prescription, location and provider. Upon consultation with an EVO ICL doctor, they will provide you with your specific cost, financing options and payment plans.

On average, contact lenses cost $12,000 over a lifetime.* Your personal cost will vary.

Because EVO ICL is a long term solution, your procedure costs are generally fixed to a one-time fee. When you compare with the long-term costs of contact lenses, EVO ICL typically pays for itself.

*Popular daily disposable contacts, on average, cost about $600 a year. So over 20 years, a patient will spend $12,000 on contact lenses.

Prawdziwe historie prawdziwych pacjentów

To co najbardziej mi się podoba, jeśli chodzi o ICL, to fakt, że zabieg wszczepienia soczewek jest w pełni odwracalny.

Jennifer Puno | Projektantka Stron Internetowych

Czuję, że na zdrowie w dużej mierze wpływa korzystanie z tego, czym ciało już dysponuje. ICL jest zgodne z tym założeniem, ponieważ oko pozostaje całkowicie nienaruszone. Moje oko jest nadal moim okiem.

Eve Torres Gracie | Instruktorka Jiu Jitsu

Nigdy nie mogłam po prostu wstać i wyjść, teraz mogę dosłownie prosto z łóżka iść na bazarek.

Sara Tso | Kucharz

Noszenie okularów kłóci się z byciem fotografem. Teraz mam ICL i mogę wreszcie żyć bez ograniczeń.

Andrew Oxenham | Fotograf

Pierwszy raz przetestowałem moje oczy po zabiegu ICL niedawno, w lasach deszczowych Amazonii i byłem naprawdę zachwycony. Nigdy wcześniej, nie byłem w stanie tak dobrze wypatrywać rzadkich gatunków roślin i zwierząt.

Ważna informacje o bezpieczeństwie

The EVO ICL Lens is intended for the correction of moderate to high nearsightedness. EVO ICL and EVO TICL surgery is intended to safely and effectively correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D to -15.0 D, the reduction in nearsightedness up to -20.0 D and treatment of astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before.

Implantation of the EVO ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. Please discuss the risks with your eye care professional. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts.

You should NOT have EVO ICL surgery if:

  • Your doctor determines that the shape of your eye is not an appropriate fit for the EVO ICL
  • You are pregnant or nursing
  • You have moderate to severe damage to the optic nerve caused by increased pressure (glaucoma)
  • You do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation as determined by your eye doctor
  • Your vision is not stable as determined by your eye doctor

Before considering EVO ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. For additional information with potential benefits, risks and complications please visit DiscoverICL.com
