ICL

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or IMPLANTABLE CONTACT LENS:

ICL, also known as the Implantable Collamer or Contact Lens, is a type of refractive procedure to help correct the most common visual problems, myopia (short sightedness), hyperopia (long sightedness) and astigmatism.

Simply put, ICL is a removable lens implant that is an attractive alternative to LASIK and other refractive procedures.

ICL is a soft, flexible lens that is positioned in your eye between the iris (coloured part of the eye) and your natural lens.

ICL can be described as additive vision correction. Unlike other procedures, ICL procedure does not remove the corneal tissue, but works in harmony with your natural eyes to provide exceptional quality of vision.

ICL is a lens implanted inside the eye without having to remove corneal tissue or the natural lens allowing natural accommodation to remain (able to focus on a near object).

Proven Performance, Outstanding Outcomes

Why People Choose Evo Visian ICL

Sharp, Clear Vision
Superb Results. 99.4% of patients would have ICL procedure again.
Excellent Night Vision. Many patients achieve excellent night vision with ICL.
Quick Results. Patients can often achieve improved vision immediately following procedure.
Great for Thin Corneas. Many patients are excluded from other forms of vision correction because of thin corneas, but not with ICL.
Great for low to High Nearsightedness. ICL is able to correct and reduce nearsightedness (myopia) of up to -20D.

When you compare ICL with other laser vision correction procedures the difference is clear.

No Dry Eye Syndrome
ICL’s proprietary lenses are made of biocompatible Collamer. That means the lens material works in harmony with the natural chemistry of your eye and body.
A Removable Option- Should your prescription update or if other vision needs arise, if you and your doctor decide, your doctor can simply remove our lens.
Quick Procedure & Recovery - Most procedures are completed within 20-30 minutes or less. With a minimally invasive procedure, many achieve improved vision nearly immediately.
ICL is a good option for patients who have refractive errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, ASTIGMATISM), who are not suitable for laser refractive surgery. It can treat a wide range of refractive errors (between +6 to -18 dioptres) and astigmatism up to 6 dioptres.

Frequently Ask Question

What Can I Expect During The Procedure?

Before you schedule your EVO appointment your doctor will perform a series of standard tests to measure your eye’s unique characteristics for the procedure. If you are farsighted, your doctor may recommend or schedule an additional pre-op procedure.

IS ICL SAFE?

The main risk is the development of cataract over 10 years after the surgery, in less than 1% of the patients, for which patients might need to have cataract surgery to improve the vision. Eye pressure may increase in 5% of the patient, however, the surgery is reversible and the lens could be removed if needed.
