What is EVO ICL?

The EVO ICL (implantable Collamer lens) is an advanced soft-material lens composed of 100% biocompatible collagen copolymer. It provides UV protection and permanent vision correction while giving patients a quality of vision that is sharper, clearer, and more vivid than that what one can achieve with glasses or contacts. Additionally, unlike LASIK, the EVO ICL is removable (if necessary), and the procedure does not permanently alter the shape of your cornea.

What are the Advantages of EVO ICL?

If you are between the ages of 21-45 and suffer from a moderate-to-severe degree of nearsightedness (with or without astigmatism), you may be a candidate for this remarkable procedure and the advantages it provides. These advantages include:

Immediate vision improvement at all distances.

The EVO ICL reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contacts.

High-definition vision.

You can enjoy a new level of vision correction that’s sharper, clearer, more vivid, and has greater depth and dimension. Night driving is also improved, with no induction of halos or glare.

Designed to be permanent, yet removable.

One of the important advantages of ICL in NYC is that while it can permanently correct your vision, the lens can be removed and/or replaced if necessary.

Short recovery time.

The recovery for the EVO ICL is quick, pain-free, and maybe as little as one day. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, and many go back to work the very next day.

UV protection.

Long-term exposure to UV radiation can damage your eyes. As an added feature, the EVO ICL advanced lens material contains a UV blocker that actually prevents harmful UVA and UVB rays from entering the eye, possibly preventing the development of UV-related eye disorders.
