The EVO Visian ICL is an additive lens implanted in your eye behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. The ICL is made of a biocompatible material called collamer that works in natural harmony with the chemistry of your eye.
Because it's biocompatible, the EVO Visian ICL is an excellent choice for patients with dry eyes who may not qualify for other vision correction procedures like LASIK. EVO does not cause dry eyes, making it far more comfortable as you start your visual freedom journey.
The EVO Visian ICL can correct nearsightedness from -3.00 diopters to -20.0 diopters, along with 1.0 to 4.0 diopters of astigmatism.

The only way to find out if you're a good candidate for the EVO Visian ICL is to schedule a consultation at Fifth Avenue EyeCare & Rosenthal Eye Surgery!
Request a ConsultationBefore the EVO Visian ICL procedure, you'll receive numbing eye drops to dilate your eyes and ensure you won't feel any pain. After the numbing drops spread over the surface of your eye, Dr. Rosenthal will begin by creating a small incision at the base of your cornea.
He will then fold and insert the EVO Visian ICL through this incision. After inserting the ICL, it can be unfolded and inserted into place.
Dr. Rosenthal will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the EVO Visian ICL is in the proper position in your eye. Once the EVO Visian ICL is in the right place, the procedure is over!
Many patients start experiencing improved vision almost instantly, experiencing a brand new way of seeing the world. Undergoing the EVO Visian ICL procedure only takes about twenty to thirty minutes!
Request a ConsultationThe EVO Visian ICL provides patients with crisp, clear vision in sharp, vibrant depth and dimension. You'll see far better than you ever could with glasses or contact lenses, but the EVO Visian ICL also provides patients with some of the best vision compared to other vision procedures.
The EVO Visian ICL uses an additive lens to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Unlike other vision correction procedures like LASIK, the EVO Visian ICL does not involve reshaping or removing any tissue from the cornea to correct your vision.
Instead, the collamer ICL is implanted into your eye, which sits in front of your natural lens. You will not have your natural lens removed, as in cataract surgery. Many patients report almost immediate improvement in their vision after having the EVO Visian ICL implanted in their eye.
