Discover EVO ICL at Petelin Vision

What is EVO ICL?
At Petelin Vision, we are proud to offer the EVO Implantable Collamer™ Lens (ICL), a cutting-edge solution for vision correction that addresses common issues such as nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. The EVO ICL is crafted from Collamer, a biocompatible material that works in harmony with your eye, ensuring clear, sharp vision without altering the natural structure of your cornea. Unlike laser surgeries like LASIK that permanently reshape the cornea, the EVO ICL procedure is additive, meaning no corneal tissue is removed.

Why Choose EVO ICL?
The EVO ICL is an ideal choice for individuals seeking a long-lasting vision correction solution that also offers flexibility. Whether you have been told you are not a candidate for LASIK due to thin corneas or other reasons, or you simply want a reversible option, EVO ICL could be the perfect fit for you. Worldwide, more than 2 million EVO ICL lenses have been implanted, helping patients enjoy the freedom from glasses and contact lenses.

Key Benefits of EVO ICL:

• Sharp, Clear Vision: Provides excellent visual acuity, even in low-light conditions.
• No Dry Eye: Unlike many laser surgeries, EVO ICL does not cause dry eye syndrome.
• Quick Procedure and Recovery: Typically completed in 20 to 30 minutes with minimal downtime; many patients return to work the next day.
• No Removal of Corneal Tissue: The procedure is additive, preserving your natural cornea.
• Removable and Reversible: The lens can be removed or upgraded by your doctor if needed.
• UV Protection: The lens provides protection against harmful UV rays.

Who is a Good Candidate for EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is suitable for individuals between the ages of 21 and 45 who have moderate to severe nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism. Ideal candidates are those with a stable prescription, good ocular health, and no history of glaucoma, iritis, or diabetic eye disease. It’s also a great option for those who have thin corneas or experience dry eye, making them less suitable for other types of vision correction surgeries.

How is the EVO ICL Procedure Performed?
The EVO ICL procedure is an outpatient surgery that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. After numbing your eyes with anesthetic drops, your surgeon will implant the lens behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. The procedure is quick, and you’ll have a follow-up appointment scheduled to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.

FAQs About EVO ICL:

Can the EVO ICL Lens be Removed?
Yes, while the EVO ICL is designed to be a permanent solution, it can be removed or upgraded if necessary without affecting your natural vision.

Will I be able to feel the EVO ICL Lens?
No, the lens is designed to be imperceptible once in place; it does not adhere to any structures in the eye.

Will other people be able to see the EVO ICL Lens?
No, the lens is placed behind your iris, making it invisible to both you and others.

Are there any risks with the EVO ICL Procedure?
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including inflammation, increased eye pressure, or the need for additional procedures. These risks are rare and can usually be managed effectively.

Important Safety Information
The EVO ICL lens is intended to correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D and -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. While it can improve your distance vision, you may still need reading glasses as you age. It’s essential to have a complete eye examination and discuss potential risks, benefits, and recovery time with your eye care professional before deciding on the procedure.
