What is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL (stands for implantable collamer lens) is a type of refractive lens that can help address nearsightedness and astigmatism. By placing it in front of your natural crystalline lens, it can correct your vision and allow you to see more clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses. The whole process takes about 20-30 minutes. Because the lens is biocompatible and there is no need to remove any corneal tissue, it can often be a perfect option for those who can’t have LASIK.

The procedure to insert the EVO ICL could not be simpler. We will start by numbing the eye with a topical or local anesthetic. From there, your eye surgeon will make two openings in the eye and slide the EVO ICL between your natural lens and the iris. That’s it. The eye will heal on its own. Both eyes will be operated on the same day, so you don’t need to come back for another surgery.

Who is a Good Candidate for the EVO ICL Procedure?

EVO ICL Surgery Benefits

EVO ICL in Boston at Nielsen Eye Center comes with several different benefits, including the following:

• Highly effective: This innovative lens is highly effective at providing patients with much clearer vision. About 75% of people who have the EVO ICL notice an improvement in at least one line of vision.
