What Is EVO ICL Eye Surgery?

EVO ICL stands for Implantable Collamer Lens, sometimes called an implantable contact lens. It is a thin, flexible lens made from a biocompatible material called Collamer, designed to work with your eye’s natural structures.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit on the eye’s surface, the EVO ICL is surgically placed inside the eye, behind the iris (the colored part) and in front of the natural lens. The EVO ICL helps incoming light focus properly on the retina, correcting nearsightedness (myopia) and, in qualifying cases, astigmatism.

EVO ICL requires no daily cleaning or removal and is designed to be invisible to others.

The Benefits of EVO ICL Eye Surgery

1

Crisp & Clear Vision

Corrects moderate to severe nearsightedness and qualifying astigmatism.

2

UV protection

The Collamer lens material includes a UV filter that helps protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

3

Clear Nighttime Vision

Reduces blurry distance vision, which makes activities like nighttime driving more comfortable.

4

Reduce Myopia

Corrects nearsighted vision, reducing your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

5

Quick Procedure

The procedure typically takes approximately 20–30 minutes per eye.

6

In Harmony With Your Eye

The biocompatible Collamer lens sits behind the iris, preserving your natural lens and corneal tissue.

7

Preserves Corneal Tissue

Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL does not involve reshaping the cornea.

FAQs: EVO ICL

Numbing eye drops help minimize discomfort. Some people experience mild pressure, irritation, or light sensitivity during the initial recovery period.

Many individuals notice significant visual improvement within one to two days. However, complete healing and vision stabilization vary, and your surgeon will advise when to resume normal activities.

The cost of EVO ICL surgery varies based on your prescription, whether astigmatism correction is needed, and the services included in your treatment plan.

National estimates commonly range from $4,000 to $6,000 per eye, but your personalized price will be confirmed at your consultation with Wellish Abrams Vision Institute.

The EVO ICL lens is made from Collamer, a collagen co-polymer that is proprietary to STAAR Surgical. Collamer is biocompatible, stable, and flexible, thus making it an ideal lens material for the eye. It has a long history of successful in-eye use.

Most likely not, as the safety and effectiveness of EVO for the correction of moderate to high myopia with and without astigmatism has not been established in patients with a previous history of ocular surgery.

Many individuals experience a significant reduction in their dependence on glasses or contacts. However, some may still need corrective eyewear, particularly for reading as they age.

Both are FDA-approved as safe and effective. EVO can be a better option for patients than contacts for a variety of reasons including efficiency, cost, and convenience. In terms of costs, on average, contact lenses cost $12,000 over a lifetime. (Your personal cost will vary). Because EVO is a long-term solution, your procedure costs are generally fixed to a one-time fee. When you compare with the long-term costs of contact lenses, EVO typically pays for itself. Finally, EVO lenses can free contacts and glasses wearers from the daily inconvenience and maintenance associated with contacts and glasses.
