EVO ICL for Patients With High Prescriptions at DLV Vision

What Is EVO ICL? The Game-Changer for High Prescriptions

If you have severe nearsightedness (myopia) or astigmatism, you might feel like your options are limited. Traditional laser surgeries like LASIK work by reshaping the cornea. However, for those with very high prescriptions or thin corneas, removing enough tissue to correct vision isn’t always safe or effective.

The EVO ICL is different. Instead of altering your eye’s natural structure, this “additive” technology involves placing a small, flexible lens inside the eye.

How It Works

• The Material: Made from Collamer, a biocompatible material that works in harmony with your eye’s natural chemistry.
• The Placement: The lens is inserted behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of your natural lens.
• The Result: Sharp, clear vision with a procedure that is removable and reversible, offering a level of flexibility that LASIK cannot match.

Why Choose EVO ICL at DLV Vision?

When it comes to your eyes, experience is everything. Dr. Paul J. Dougherty and the team at DLV Vision are pioneers in the field. In fact, DLV Vision hosted the first post-approval ICL training session for U.S. surgeons.

• Superior Visual Quality: Many patients report high-definition vision. Because the lens doesn’t reshape the cornea, it often results in better night vision and fewer halos than other procedures.
• Great for Dry Eyes: Unlike laser-based procedures, the EVO ICL does not affect corneal nerves, making it an excellent choice for patients prone to dry eye syndrome.
• UV Protection: The Collamer material has a built-in UV filter to help protect your eyes from the harsh California sun.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Are You a Candidate for EVO ICL?

While a comprehensive exam is the only way to know for sure, you may be a candidate if:

• You are between the ages of 21 and 45.
• Your prescription is between -3.0D and -20.0D (high myopia).
• You have astigmatism up to 4.0D.
• You have a stable prescription that hasn’t changed significantly in a year.
• You have been told you have thin corneas or are not a candidate for LASIK.
