How long can EVO ICL stay in the eye?
The EVO ICL is designed to stay in your eye permanently but can be removed to keep pace with advancing technology and your future needs.
Does the procedure remove tissue from my eye?
No, the EVO ICL is inserted gently in the eye with no removal of corneal tissue.
Can the EVO ICL dry out or get dirty like a contact lens?
The EVO ICL avoids such problems experienced with traditional contact lenses. It is designed to remain in place inside the eye, without maintenance. A routine, annual visit with an eye doctor is recommended to make sure everything remains safe and effective.
How the EVO ICL Corrects Nearsightedness and Astigmatism
EVO ICL functions to focus light properly back onto the retina in a similar way glasses and contact lenses do. The EVO ICL is placed into a space of the eye directly behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and in front of the natural lens. In this position, the EVO ICL functions to focus light properly onto the retina helping create clear distance vision.
*ICL lenses intended to treat farsightedness are not EVO and require two additional tiny opening in the coloured portion of your eyes to ensure there is proper fluid flow after the ICL is implanted. #
