Pre-Op Eye Exam
After selecting a doctor, it’s time to schedule your in-person consultation.
Before scheduling your procedure, your doctor will need to confirm that EVO ICL is a good option for you by performing a series of standard tests to measure your eye’s unique characteristics. Your doctor will also discuss cost and educate you about benefits, risks and what to expect both during and after the procedure.

Getting Your EVO ICLs is as quick or faster than watching an episode of your favorite binge-worthy series.
Preparation
When you arrive for your procedure, your doctor will administer eye drops to dilate your pupils as well as anesthetize your eyes for a painless experience. The procedure is painless because of the numbing medication.
Small Opening
To prepare for the implant your doctor will create one small opening at the base of your cornea to insert the EVO ICL lens.
Lens Insertion & Positioning
The EVO ICL lens then can be folded and inserted through the small incision that was made. Once the lens is inserted the doctor will make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper positioning in the eye.

Returning Home
Most people are back to normal activities in 1–2 days.
At this point, the procedure is over and many patients will have improved vision almost immediately. Eye drops will be prescribed to aid in the healing process following the procedure. You will need someone to drive you home and your doctor will tell you when you may resume driving.

Start Your SearchImportant Safety Information
The EVO Visian ICL Lens is intended for the correction of moderate to high nearsightedness. EVO Visian ICL and EVO Visian TICL surgery is intended to safely and effectively correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D to -15.0 D, the reduction in nearsightedness up to -20.0 D and treatment of 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.
Implantation of the EVO Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. Please discuss the risks with your eye care professional. Complications, although rare, may include 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 the shape of your eye is not an appropriate fit for the EVO Visian ICL
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You have moderate to severe damage to the optic nerve caused by increased pressure (glaucoma)
- You do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation as determined by your eye doctor
- Your vision is not stable as determined by your eye doctor
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. For additional information with potential benefits, risks and complications please visit DiscoverICL.com.
