EVO ICL Surgery
EVO ICL Surgery in the Quad Cities
An Alternative to LASIK for Nearsightedness
If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses but are not an ideal candidate for LASIK, EVO ICL may provide another option. EVO ICL surgery corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism by placing a thin, biocompatible lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue.
Eye Surgeons Associates offers EVO ICL as part of our comprehensive vision correction options for patients throughout the Quad Cities.
Who Is a Candidate for EVO ICL?
EVO ICL may be considered for patients with high levels of nearsightedness, thin or irregular corneas, or prescriptions outside the ideal range for LASIK. A comprehensive evaluation allows your eye surgeon to determine whether EVO ICL, LASIK, PRK, or another procedure best fits your eyes.
How Does EVO ICL Work?
During surgery, a customized lens is positioned behind the iris and in front of the eye’s natural lens. Unlike LASIK, the procedure does not reshape the cornea or remove corneal tissue.
What Are the Benefits of EVO ICL?
EVO ICL can provide sharp vision while correcting prescriptions beyond the range LASIK may treat. The lens is removable and includes UV protection.
What Is Recovery Like After EVO ICL?
Many patients notice improved vision soon after surgery, with vision continuing to sharpen over the following days. Patients should follow their surgeon’s recovery instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments.
