Patient Experience
Here’s what to expect through your journey with ICLs
- Pre-Operative Consultation
Your journey to better vision begins with a thorough consultation with your refractive surgeon. During this consultation, your surgeon will assess your eye health, discuss your vision goals, and determine if the Evo ICL is the right choice for you. - Customized Treatment Plan
If the Evo ICL is deemed suitable for your needs, your surgeon will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique eye measurements and prescription. - Procedure
Anesthesia: On the day of the procedure, you will be given a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the surgery.
Small Incision: A tiny incision, typically 3-4 mm in size, is made at the edge of the cornea. This incision is so small that it usually doesn’t require sutures.
Evo ICL Implantation: The Evo ICL, a biocompatible lens, is carefully folded and inserted through the small incision. Once inside the eye, it gently unfolds and is positioned behind the iris, in front of the natural lens.
Final Adjustment and Confirmation: Your surgeon will ensure that the Evo ICL is properly centered and aligned within your eye to provide the best visual outcome. - Recovery
The Evo ICL procedure is known for its relatively quick recovery time. Most patients experience improved vision within a day or two, with minimal discomfort. - Post-Operative Care
After the surgery, your surgeon will provide specific post-operative care instructions to follow, including the use of prescribed eye drops to aid in healing.
