Want Peace of Mind? Why You Should Consider EVO ICL

September 6, 2024

Do you wake up and need glasses or contact lenses to see? Are you tired of depending on visual aids?

If you're ready to experience the world with visual freedom without worrying about where your glasses and contacts are, it's time to learn about the EVO ICL. Although there are many options for correcting your vision, the EVO ICL is unique because it's the only one that's reversible.

Keep reading to find out why, if you want peace of mind, you should consider EVO ICL!

Why Should I Consider a Vision Correction Procedure Like EVO ICL?

If you have a refractive error like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, visual aids include glasses and contact lenses. But if you no longer want to wear these, vision correction procedures can give you much-desired freedom.

 

Whether you wish you could wake up and see clearly, are tired of getting dry eyes from wearing contact lenses all day long, or want to explore your options, vision correction procedures like the EVO ICL can open your eyes to a new world of possibilities. However, not everyone will be a good candidate for every procedure.

The most well-known vision correction procedure is LASIK, but if your corneas are too thin or you don't meet other candidacy factors, you may not be a good candidate. If you're not a good LASIK candidate but still want to improve your vision, EVO ICL is another procedure worth considering.

With EVO ICL, you can achieve the crisp, clear vision you've always wanted. The EVO ICL is FDA-approved for patients with nearsightedness and some astigmatism.

Why is the EVO ICL Worth Considering?

The EVO ICL is an additive lens placed between your eye's iris and natural lens. Because it's an additive lens, it does not remove any tissue from your cornea like LASIK or remove the natural lens, as is the case with cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange.

Instead, once the EVO ICL is in your eye, nobody will know it's there except for you. You won't be able to see or feel it after implantation.

One of the most significant advantages of the EVO ICL is that it's biocompatible with the natural harmony of your eye. It's made of a material called collamer, which is derived from collagen.

Because of this, the EVO ICL does not cause dry eyes and is often an excellent choice if you have dry eyes or have been told you shouldn't undergo a procedure like LASIK due to dry eyes. It provides crisp, clear vision in dim or bright light and works with the natural chemistry of the eye. In addition, it has a built-in UV filter to protect it from the sun's UV rays.

The EVO ICL is Reversible and Removable

Many patients get nervous about vision correction procedures that are permanent and irreversible. If the idea of a procedure you can't reverse makes you second guess improving your vision, EVO ICL is the perfect solution.

It's the only vision correction procedure that is both reversible and removable. Although most patients do not remove the EVO ICL and keep it as a permanent form of vision correction, it provides peace of mind knowing that the option is always there.

Another benefit that sets the EVO ICL apart is that you can remove it and have it taken out if you need an IOL to take its place due to cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange in the future.

Having the EVO ICL implanted is a short procedure that only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Recovery time is also fast, ensuring you can return to the things you love while enjoying them with better vision.

The EVO ICL is an outpatient procedure, meaning you'll go home after it's over.

Is Choosing the EVO ICL Better than Wearing Contact Lenses?

With the EVO ICL, most patients no longer need to depend on visual aids. If you've ever dreamed of playing sports without contact lenses getting in the way, the EVO ICL could be the solution you've been looking for.

Because EVO ICL does not cause dry eyes, you won't have to worry about dry eyes during recovery. Instead, you can enjoy your crystal-clear vision without irritation holding you back.

Wearing contacts can leave your eyes feeling itchy and irritated, especially if you spend most of your day working in front of a screen. If you like to spend time outdoors, you'll be able to appreciate the freedom that comes with correcting your vision and no longer worrying about your contacts, whether you're camping or hiking to see the stars.

Contacts can also contribute to developing dry eye syndrome, which can be painful and uncomfortable. Depending on artificial tears and eye drops can be frustrating, but with the EVO ICL, you won't have to worry about dry eyes worsening. The vision correction from the EVO ICL is permanent unless you choose to have it reversed.

Will the EVO ICL Work with My Active Lifestyle?

One of the best benefits of vision correction procedures is they free people to enjoy their active lifestyles. Stop worrying about carrying glasses, contact lenses, or other visual aids to the gym, or onto the field.

Rather than dealing with contacts, which can become dislodged while you're playing a game, or glasses that can get broken, the EVO ICL is permanent and invisible to everyone around you. All you have to do is open your eyes and go! 

The EVO ICL is also beneficial if you have a career that keeps you on the go. If you travel regularly for work, the last thing you want to worry about is whether you have enough contact lens solution or a pair of backup glasses.

It's an ideal solution for first responders, military personnel, or law enforcement. With the EVO ICL, you'll have peace of mind living the active lifestyle you love without being hindered by your visual aids.
