EVO ICL™
EVO ICL™ at Campbell, Cunningham Laser Center
EVO ICL™ corrects vision using Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) instead of removing corneal tissue. It is designed for people with moderate to severe nearsightedness or astigmatism, thin corneas or a history of dry eye. The lens works naturally with your eye and includes built-in UV protection. Many patients notice clearer vision right away, and once in place, the lens is invisible to the naked eye.
EVO ICL FAQs
What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is a vision correction procedure that uses a small, flexible lens called an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) to improve vision. Instead of reshaping the cornea like LASIK, the lens is placed inside the eye, where it works with your natural eye to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism.
How is EVO ICL different from LASIK?
LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, while EVO ICL corrects vision by adding a lens inside the eye. Because no corneal tissue is removed, EVO ICL can be a great option for people with thin corneas, higher prescriptions, or dry eye concerns.
Who is a good candidate for EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is often recommended for adults over 18 with stable vision who have moderate to high nearsightedness or astigmatism. It is especially helpful for patients who are not ideal LASIK candidates due to thin corneas or dry eye. A Clear Vision Consultation is the best way to determine if EVO ICL is right for you.
What happens during the EVO ICL procedure?
The EVO ICL procedure is quick and comfortable. Your eye is numbed, and the lens is gently placed inside the eye through a small opening. The procedure usually takes about 20–30 minutes, and most patients go home the same day.
How long does it take to see results with EVO ICL?
Many patients notice clearer vision almost right away, often within a day. Vision continues to improve as the eye heals, and most people return to normal activities within a few days.
Can I feel or see the EVO ICL lens?
No. Once in place, the lens is invisible and cannot be felt. You won’t see or notice it during daily activities.
Is EVO ICL safe?
Yes. EVO ICL is FDA-approved and has been safely used by hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. The lens is made of biocompatible material that works naturally with your eye and includes built-in UV protection.
Is EVO ICL permanent?
EVO ICL™ is designed to be long-lasting, but it is also removable if needed. This makes it a flexible option if your vision or eye health changes in the future.
How do I know if EVO ICL™ or LASIK is right for me?
The best way to find out is through a Clear Vision Consultation at Campbell Cunningham Laser Center. Our experienced team will evaluate your eyes, review your goals, and recommend the safest and most effective vision correction option for your needs.
