Jordan Chose EVO ICL Because It Was the Best Choice For His Health
Before the EVO ICL procedure, my relationship with my vision was one of constant struggle. I had been in contacts and glasses most of my life, and it was always just a hassle. My vision was just terrible.

EVO ICL: Phenomenal
I chose the EVO ICL over other options because it was the best overall choice for my eye health.
My biggest concern with considering vision correction and the EVO ICL procedure was the possibility of "what if it doesn't work?" or "what if it's really painful?" The EVO ICL allows you to retain the natural shape of your cornea. So, worst case, we just remove it. It became a no-brainer, easy solution.
If I had to choose one word to describe the EVO ICL procedure, it would be: phenomenal.
The versatility and just the incredible technology behind it and the crystal-clear vision that I've been able to experience following the procedure, it has been a world of difference in a million ways, day-to-day. It has been absolutely worth it.

Important 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.
