About Norwood, MA
Norwood is a town in Norfolk County in southeastern Massachusetts and has a population of around 31,000 people. The median income sits at approximately $100,000. The town is part of the Greater Boston area (it’s about 40 minutes from the city) and was named after the town in England of the same name. The economy of the town strongly depends on the healthcare and technology industries that make their home there. The town was also once the summer residence of both President Taft and President Coolidge. It’s also where you can find attractions like the Norwood Theater and the Norwood Historical Society. The town is also known for its many walkable neighborhoods.
What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL (implantable collamer lens) is an FDA-approved vision correction surgery that is designed to address nearsightedness and astigmatism. The collamer material used is made up of collagen and poly-HEMA, both biocompatible materials. It’s placed behind the iris and in front of the natural crystalline lens. And unlike other vision correction procedures like LASIK, no corneal tissue is removed from the eye. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes per eye.
Who is a Good Candidate for the EVO ICL Procedure?
Most patients who are struggling with nearsightedness and astigmatism and who aren’t good candidates for LASIK are typically candidates for EVO ICL. On top of those requirements, Dr. Nielsen and our team of doctors also follow a set of criteria to determine if this is the right eye treatment for you.
Ideal Candidates for EVO ICL in Norwood Are:
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
- Are between 21 and 45 years old
- Have thin corneas
- Have dry eyes
- Have a stable vision prescription
EVO ICL Benefits
The EVO ICL procedure we offer to residents of Norwood comes with several different benefits, including the following:
- Quick procedure: The EVO ICL procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes per eye, allowing you to be in and out of our office within about an hour.
- Long-lasting results: The EVO ICL will last for decades, if not a lifetime. Your lens can be easily removed and replaced as necessary.
- Reversible: The implantable lens surgery can be completely reversed. No matter what the reason, we can remove the lens and your vision will return back to what it was before the procedure:
- Protects eyes from UV rays: The EVO ICL protects the eyes from both UVA and UVB rays.
- Fast recovery time: Recovery is very short with EVO ICL surgery. Most patients can get back to their normal activities within 1-2 days.
- Less dependence on glasses and contact lenses: One of the benefits patients love the most is that they no longer have to wear glasses and contact lenses. While some use may be needed, your dependence on them will be far less.
