What is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL (ICL stands for implantable collamer lens) is a type of refractive lens that is designed to help those dealing with nearsightedness and astigmatism. By placing the lens in front of the natural crystalline lens and behind the iris, our team at the Nielsen Eye Center can help you improve your vision. The whole procedure doesn’t take longer than 30 minutes, allowing you to get back to your life as soon as possible.

The implantable lens is biocompatible, and because no corneal tissue is removed, it’s the perfect alternative option for those who aren’t good candidates for LASIK surgery or other vision correction procedures.

Who is a Candidate for EVO ICL Surgery?

If you are struggling with moderate to severe nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, you are likely a good candidate for EVO ICL. That said, Dr. Nielsen and his team follow a set of criteria to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Ideal Candidates for EVO ICL in Cambridge Are:

  • In good overall health
  • Between 21-45 years old
  • Have high prescriptions
  • Have thin corneas
  • Can’t have LASIK surgery for any reason
  • Have a history dry eyes
  • Haven’t had a change in prescription for more than a year

EVO ICL Procedure Benefits

EVO ICL in Cambridge comes with a wide range of benefits you can look forward to, including the following:

  • Reversible: While EVO ICL is meant to be permanent, if necessary, the lens can be removed. Your vision will return to what it was before the surgery.
  • Safe and effective: EVO ICL is an FDA-approved procedure, meaning it’s been tested again and again for safety and effectiveness. You can trust that you will see a significant improvement in your vision after treatment.
  • Provides UV protection: The EVO lens will provide your eyes with UV protection. While sunglasses are still important, these lenses will now protect your eyes from the sun.
  • Less need for glasses and/or contact lenses: After your EVO ICL treatment, you will either not need glasses or contact lenses at all or you’ll need them much less.
  • Short treatment time: Most EVO ICL surgeries don’t take longer than 15 minutes per eye. Dr. Nielsen or another one of our eye surgeons will walk you through each step of the procedure.
