EVO ICL™ In North Canton, Canfield & Alliance, OH
The EVO ICL™ family of lenses are an Intraocular Collamer Lens (in Europe, the same lens is called Intraocular Contact Lens). If you have myopia or astigmatism, the EVO ICL™ can correct your sight, giving you sharp, clear vision. STAAR introduced the first ICL for myopia in 1997, and now more than one million ICL’s have been implanted worldwide with a great safety record. US FDA approved the Visian ICL™ in 2006. Next came the introduction of the Visian Toric ICL™ in September 2018. Lately, the EVO ICL™ is the most advanced version making the ICL safer than ever, and usually results in High-Definition clarity of vision even better than what you may get with SMILE, LASIK or PRK. The night vision is excellent, and patients with the EVO ICL™ have a 99% satisfaction rate.
The EVO ICL™ is a removable, upgradable option. Your natural crystalline lens is left in the eye. The ICL procedure involves placing an intraocular collamer lens implant inside the eye. Collamer is a synthetic collagen which is extremely biocompatible with the ocular tissues. The surgery is generally done in a 15 minute procedure under topical anesthesia, one eye at a time. The EVO ICL™ implant rests between the iris and the lens. The vision result is quick, with functional, unaided vision the day after surgery. The EVO ICL™ works for your moderate to high myopia (near-sighted vision), with or without astigmatism. The EVO ICL™ has been shown to give better vision than LASIK! The ICL implant can be enhanced with LASIK or other lens implants later if needed. Rare complications such as cataract, glaucoma, or sizing requiring ICL exchange or removal are reported.
