At Pacific Vision Institute, we believe that life is best lived in full clarity. For those struggling with myopia and astigmatism, achieving crystal-clear vision can be life-changing. That’s why we offer advanced solutions like EVO Implantable Collamer® Lenses (EVO ICL), a state-of-the-art treatment that delivers high-definition sight with comfort, safety, and precision. Led by world-renowned LASIK specialist Dr. Ella Faktorovich, Pacific Vision Institute in San Francisco stands at the forefront of vision correction with an uncompromising commitment to innovation and excellence.
Let’s explore how EVO ICL is transforming the lives of patients with nearsightedness and astigmatism.
What Is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is a breakthrough in vision correction technology. These biocompatible lenses are implanted into the eye, working in harmony with its natural structure. Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL doesn’t require the removal of corneal tissue. Instead, the lens is placed behind the iris and in front of your natural lens, where it remains invisible and undetectable to both you and others.
With protection against UV rays, a lifetime of performance, and the option for removal if necessary, EVO ICL offers flexibility and long-term clarity few procedures can match.
The Benefits of EVO ICL
An ideal choice for patients who want to achieve exceptional vision without compromising safety or comfort, some of EVO ICL’s most notable advantages include:
- Visual clarity: Offers sharp, high-definition vision at all distances.
- Day and night performance: Delivers glare-free sight under all lighting conditions.
- Seamless experience: The lenses are undetectable and do not cause dry eye syndrome.
- Rapid recovery: The virtually painless procedure allows for a fast return to daily life.
- Long-term investment: Permanent, but removable if needed.
- High satisfaction: 99% of patients report satisfaction with their results.
- Expanded eligibility: Suitable for those who are not ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK.
Is EVO ICL Right for You?
EVO ICL is particularly well-suited for adults aged 21 to 45 with stable vision who suffer from moderate to severe myopia or astigmatism. It’s a top alternative for patients with thin or irregular corneas who may not qualify for laser-based surgeries.
However, this procedure isn’t for everyone. It’s not recommended during pregnancy or nursing, for individuals with unstable vision, or those with certain ocular or systemic conditions. A comprehensive consultation at Pacific Vision Institute will determine your suitability.
What to Expect During Your EVO ICL Procedure
The EVO ICL procedure is efficient, comfortable, and precise. Lasting just 20 to 30 minutes, it begins with numbing drops to ensure comfort.
During the procedure, you can expect:
- A tiny incision to be made in the outer part of the eye
- The lens to be rolled, inserted, and gently positioned behind the iris
- Immediate vision correction once the lens is in place
- A fast recovery with minimal downtime
Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision immediately after the procedure.
