The EVO ICL Procedure

Have you worn contact lenses? Imagine one that goes in your eye and doesn’t need frequent changing. That’s what you can expect from EVO ICL surgery.

Many patients who have been told that they are not candidates for LASIK, due to a high prescription or other reasons, may be surprised to find out that they can still have their vision improved with the EVO ICL!

Like all procedures performed by our doctors, the first step is confirming that you’re a candidate by undergoing a thorough examination.

Before the procedure, your surgeon will use numbing eye drops to ensure your comfort throughout.

During the procedure, your surgeon will create a small opening in the cornea to position the implant. The procedure itself takes about 20-30 min.

Patients with a family history of corneal disease
Patients with active lifestyles
Patients with a higher amount of dry eye

Post Op Recovery

Patients will typically use prescription eye drops after EVO ICL surgery. Your doctor likely requests checkups one day, one week, one month, and three months after surgery.
