At Georgia Eye Clinic, our highest priority is making sure our patients have healthy eyes and clear vision. We offer a full range of vision correction options, including EVO ICL TM lens (EVO) for our patients who want to break free from the hassles of glasses and contacts.
What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL, also called an Implantable Collamer® Lens, is a refractive implant to correct common vision issues like myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Unlike some other vision correction options, the EVO ICL is an additive technology that corrects vision without the removal of any corneal tissue.
The EVO ICL is meant to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses and unlike most permanent refractive surgery solutions, EVO ICL is removable by your doctor, for added peace of mind.

Who Makes an Ideal Candidate for the EVO ICL?
If you are between the ages of 21 and 45, nearsighted, and have maintained stable vision for at least a year, you are likely an excellent candidate for the EVO ICL. This innovative lens is specifically designed to correct vision in individuals who are nearsighted or have nearsightedness accompanied by astigmatism.
However, if you are farsighted or have other types of refractive errors, the EVO ICL may not be the right solution for you. While the EVO ICL is particularly effective for those with high myopia. Since individuals with severe dry eyes or thin corneas are often not suitable candidates for laser refractive surgeries like LASIK, the EVO ICL offers a promising alternative. Before you can proceed with scheduling the EVO ICL procedure, it’s essential to confirm your candidacy.
What is Recovery Like after EVO ICL?
Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in their vision nearly immediately after their EVO ICL vision correction
surgery. Recovery is brief and comfortable for most, with many patients returning to work the very next day

Important Safety Information for EVO ICL
The EVO Visian ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before. Since the implantation of the EVO Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, before considering EVO Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO Visian ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. Complications, although rare, may include the need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts. You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL surgery if your doctor determines that 1) the shape of your eye is not appropriate, 2) you do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation, 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma, 4) your vision is not stable; or 5) if you are pregnant or nursing.
