If you’re searching for a reliable way to reduce or even eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses, EVO ICL may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. This innovative vision correction procedure is designed for people who want crisp, clear vision without permanently altering the structure of their eyes. But how do you know if EVO ICL is right for you?
 

What Is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL is a thin, flexible lens that is implanted inside the eye, positioned just behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. It works with your eye’s natural structures to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK or PRK, the procedure is reversible because the lens can be removed if necessary.
 

Who Should Consider EVO ICL?

•         Adults with Stable Vision: The ideal candidate is at least 21 years old and has had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least one year. This stability ensures the results will be reliable and long-lasting.

•         People with Moderate to Severe Myopia: EVO ICL is especially effective for those who are very nearsighted, with prescriptions typically ranging from -3.00 to -20.00 diopters. If your prescription is too high for LASIK, EVO ICL may be a better solution.

•         Those with Thin or Irregular Corneas: Some people are not good candidates for LASIK or PRK because their corneas are too thin or irregular. Since EVO ICL does not require removal of corneal tissue, it is an excellent option for these patients.

•         Patients with Dry Eye Symptoms: If you experience chronic dry eye, you might not be eligible for laser eye surgery. EVO ICL is less likely to worsen dry eye symptoms because the procedure does not disrupt the corneal surface.

•         Individuals Without Significant Eye Diseases: Good candidates should be free from certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma, iritis, or diabetic eye disease. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to rule out any underlying problems.

•         Those Seeking a Reversible Procedure: EVO ICL offers peace of mind because it is removable or replaceable if your vision changes or if you have a change in lifestyle needs.

Who Might Not Be a Good Candidate?

•          People with very mild refractive errors

•          Individuals with significant cataracts

•          Patients under 21 or whose vision is still changing

•          Those with a history of eye disease or certain chronic conditions

During your consultation, your eye doctor will review your medical history, measure your eyes in detail, and discuss your vision goals. They will also check for any eye conditions or health factors that could affect your candidacy. This assessment ensures that you receive the safest and most effective treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
