EVO 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.

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.

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.

Depending on your insurance plan, a EVO ICL implant surgery may be considered an elective surgery - but they may be able to reduce the cost for you. We can help you check the costs of EVO ICL eye surgery with your insurance, and may be able to help you finance the cost. Talk to our team during your consultation about financing options and costs.

While classic ICLs cannot correct astigmatism, the EVO Toric ICL is designed to help those with astigmatism. The process of surgery may reduce it.

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.

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 EVO ICL eye surgeries, most patients will request two appointments, one each a few weeks away.

Post-op care changes from patient to patient, but it’s generally the same process for most. Talk with your doctor about your specific needs after an ICL eye surgery. Our team of doctors provides innovative EVO ICL eye Treatments in locations such as Lansing, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Toledo, and Kalamazoo.
