Q: What Are The Side Effects of ICL Surgery?

After ICL eye surgery, most patients do not experience side effects. There may be some temporary blurry vision or light sensitivity, but that is expected and will subside with time. Your doctor at Specialty Eye Institute will review the healing process with you when you come in for a consult, and after the surgery is completed.

Q: How Long Does ICL Surgery Take?

The actual surgery only takes about half an hour or less, but the patient will need to stay for a few hours for pre-op and post-op recovery. You will not be able to drive after the procedure, so transportation will need to be arranged beforehand.

Q: Can I Get ICLs In Both Eyes During the Same Procedure?

You can get implants at the same time - your doctor will review your options with you during your consultation. If you need to space out the Visian ICL eye surgeries, most patients will request two appointments, one each a few weeks away.

EVO ICL Cost & Financing

The cost of an EVO ICL procedure may differ based on your personalized treatment plan. Numerous EVO ICL recipients anticipate enjoying long-term savings compared to the ongoing expenses associated with contacts and glasses. Contact Specialty Eye Institute about potential financing alternatives and payment arrangements that could be accessible for your EVO ICL procedure.

Can Anyone Get ICL Eye Surgery?

Typically, the procedure is used with patients who are between 21 and their mid-50s. If you’re older than 50, you may consider another vision correction procedure, but it will be left to the discretion of the doctor. The EVO ICL and Toric ICL eye surgeries or treatments are usually used with patients who have large degrees of nearsightedness. Our staff of ophthalmologists offers eye surgery and treatment procedures to clients in areas such as Toledo, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, and Ann Arbor. Although it is not uncommon for patients to opt to use LASIK instead, a EVO ICL eye surgery is ideal for patients who have thin corneas and are not eligible for LASIK surgery.

Is ICL Surgery Risky?

No surgery is without risk. Your doctor can review the risks and complications of ICL eye implant surgeries with you, and you and your doctor can decide if a EVO ICL or Toric ICL is right for your vision correction needs. The risks generally associated with ICLs are the same with any surgery, like infection, but can also cause retinal detachment, problems with intraocular pressure, cataracts, loss of corneal endothelial cells, and inflammation of the eye.
