Frequently Asked Questions

What Is EVO ICL ?

EVO is an evolution in vision correction. A clinically-proven implantable lens that corrects common vision problems such as nearsightedness, with and without astigmatism, which is the needed for distance vision correction. EVO can be the solution for people who want to get rid of their glasses or contact lenses.

EVO ICL offers many benefits for patients who are candidates for the procedure and are seeking a vision solution that allows them the freedom of less dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

The advantages of EVO ICL include:

  • Sharp , clear vision
  • Excellent night vision
  • Does not cause dry eye syndrome
  • Quick procedure and recovery
  • No removal of corneal tissue
  • Removable by your doctor
    Protection from UV rays

Blocompatibility

Colemer is a unque material that contains collagen which means the lens is made to naturally be in hamtony with your eye.

No Dry Eye Syntone

Be not removing and reshaping the comed tissue. the Vsian ICL procedure does not induce dry eye syndrone.

Removability

In the event of a major prescription change or the avalabilty of new vision correction options. EVO Visian ICL is completely removable

Night Vision

in a clinical study. the vision icl provided excellent night vision.

The most recent U.S. clinical trial of the EVO ICL reviewed by FDA is summarized in the EVO/EVO+ ICL Directions for Use (DFU) and the FDA’s Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (SSED) issued with the PMA Approval notice. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers from dozens of countries report the safety and efficacy of EVO. Select papers are listed below including a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed papers bringing together the safety and effectiveness data from 67 preclinical studies and clinical reports. In these studies, 4,196 eyes reported safety data and 1,905 eyes reported effectiveness data.

Both EVO and LASIK are effective vision correction options. EVO offers a great way to break free from glasses and contact lenses while not having to remove corneal tissue as in laser vision correction procedures. The EVO lens is additive; meaning, it is implanted in the eye and doesn’t remove corneal tissue. The EVO lens works in harmony with the natural eye while delivering sharp, clear vision, excellent night vision, UV protection, and does not cause dry eye syndrome. If desired, the EVO lens is removable by a doctor providing patients added peace of mind. Your Newsom Eye doctor will let you know if LASIK or EVO is best suited for your unique vision.

EVO ICL vision correction is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 20-30 minutes. After an initial exam with your ophthalmologist to determine that the EVO ICL is right for you, you will schedule your procedure. On the day of the procedure, your eyes will be numbed with an anesthetic eye drop and your refractive surgeon will implant the ICL between the iris (colored part of the eye) and the natural lens. Your surgeon will likely schedule a follow-up appointment the same day as the procedure, as well as a few additional follow-up visits.

No, the EVO lens is placed behind your iris where only your eye doctor san detect it.

Any medical procedure has certain risks associated with it. Poteritial complications of the EVD ICL procedure, although rare, include inflammation, an increase in eye pressure or the need for an additional procedure, like an ICL exchange. While these potential risks are mitigated as much as possibile, they can all typically be addressed aarly and without long-term side effects.

EVO is a globally trusted and tested procedure. According to a STAAR patient survey, 99.4% of patients would have the EVO procedure again. Over 3,000,000 EVO ICL lenses have been implanted around the world. EVO ICL is confirmed by the U.S. FDA to be a safe and effective treatment of moderate to high nearsightedness with or without astigmatism for U.S. patients.

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.

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. EVO lenses can free contacts and glasses wearers from the daily inconvenience and maintenance associated with contacts and glasses.

Yes, the EVO ICL is intended to provide permanent vision correction, but it can be removed or upgraded by your surgeon

No, patients should not feel the lens as it does not adhere to any structures within the eye and does riot move once in place

The EVO ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.00 up to -20.00 and treat astigmatism from 2.00 to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before. Since implantation of the EVO ICL is a surgical procedure, before considering EVO ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, lass of cells from the back surface of the cornes, increase in eye pressure, and cotaracts. You should NOT have EVO ICL surgery if your doctor determines that 1) the shape of your eye is not appropriate, 2) you do not ment the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of Implantation, 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma, 4) your vision is not stable, or 5) if you are pregnant or nursing
