Experience the Freedom and Flexibility of the EVO ICL Lens

Life is all about the details, and we want you to enjoy every single one. EVO ICL is made for people who want to experience life without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.

 

What is EVO ICL?

what is EVO ICL?The EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens designed to correct common visual impairments, notably nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. Made from a material called Collamer, this lens is crafted to function seamlessly with the eye’s natural structure. Comparable in size to a standard contact lens, the EVO ICL is positioned inside the eye in a procedure lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Contrary to laser vision correction surgeries that permanently alter the corneal shape, the EVO ICL method is additive, which means there’s no removal of corneal tissue. Globally, the EVO ICL lens has been the choice for over 1 million eye enhancements.


EVO ICL Procedure Overview – What to Expect

EVO ICL is made of biocompatible Collamer material that works in harmony with your eye. Your eye doctor will create a small opening in your cornea that will be used to insert and position the EVO ICL. For most patients, the procedure is virtually painless with numbing drops and it typically takes less than 20 – 30 minutes. Patients typically experience improved vision right away and a quick recovery time.


What are the Benefits of Collamer?

Collamer is a unique material that stands out in the world of eye care, and it’s at the heart of the EVO ICL lens. Here’s why Collamer is so special:

  • Biocompatibility: In simple terms, Collamer is very friendly to the eye. Being biocompatible means that the material is designed to work harmoniously with your body. The risk of your eye reacting negatively to it is minimal.
  • Ultra Clear: One of the primary reasons Collamer is chosen for ICLs is its clarity. It ensures that light is focused accurately, giving you crisp and clear vision. It’s like upgrading to high-definition in the world of visuals!
  • UV Protection: Collamer has a natural filter against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. While it’s no substitute for sunglasses, it offers an added layer of protection against the sun’s harmful effects.
  • Hydrophilic Nature: This might sound technical, but all it means is that Collamer loves water. This characteristic ensures that the lens remains comfortable in the eye, as it retains a small amount of water, making it soft and flexible.
  • Non-Decomposable: Collamer doesn’t break down over time inside the eye. This means that once your ICL is in place, it’s there to stay, continuing to provide you with clear vision without degradation.

In essence, Collamer combines the best of both worlds: it’s gentle on the eye while offering crystal-clear vision and additional benefits. It’s a material truly designed with the patient’s well-being in mind.

While these potential challenges are minimized to the greatest extent, they’re usually identified and managed promptly, generally without enduring repercussions.
