A Modern Alternative for Clear, High-Quality Vision

At New York Laser Vision and Aesthetics, we offer EVO ICL treatment for patients seeking a precise, customizable solution beyond traditional laser procedures. With over 20 years of experience, our team uses detailed diagnostics to determine whether this approach is the best fit—ensuring your results align with your vision needs, lifestyle, and long-term eye health. Schedule your consultation today to find out if EVO ICL treatment is right for you.

What Is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a type of vision correction procedure that involves placing a thin, flexible lens inside the eye, between the iris and natural lens. Unlike LASIK or PRK, EVO ICL does not reshape the cornea. This makes it an excellent option for patients who may not be ideal candidates for laser vision correction.

The lens works with your eye’s natural structure to improve how light focuses on the retina, resulting in clearer, sharper vision. One of the unique advantages of EVO ICL is that it is removable if needed, offering an added level of flexibility compared to other procedures.

Who Is a Candidate for EVO ICL?

EVO ICL treatment is often recommended for patients who are not ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK, particularly those with certain eye characteristics.

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You have moderate to high nearsightedness
  • You have thin or irregular corneas
  • You experience dry eye or are at higher risk for it
  • You are looking for a long-term vision correction solution without corneal reshaping

At our practice, candidacy is determined through a comprehensive evaluation. We take the time to assess your eye health in detail and recommend the procedure that will provide the best outcome.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your consultation is a critical part of the process and is designed to ensure that EVO ICL is the right choice for you. We perform advanced imaging and measurements to evaluate your eye anatomy, including the size and shape of your eye and the space available for the lens. 

This level of detail allows us to plan your procedure with precision.After your evaluation, your doctor will explain your options clearly and discuss whether EVO ICL treatment is the best approach or if another type of vision correction may be more appropriate.

The EVO ICL Procedure

The EVO ICL procedure is a minimally invasive form of eye surgery that is typically completed in a short, outpatient visit. During the procedure:

  • A small incision is made in the eye
  • The EVO ICL lens is gently inserted and positioned behind the iris
  • The lens unfolds and integrates naturally within the eye

The procedure is designed to be comfortable, with numbing drops used to ensure a smooth experience. Because the cornea is not altered, the structure of the eye remains intact.

The staff was courteous and efficient, the office is clean, including the bathroom, and the doctor who treated me was very friendly and polite. Thank you for making my visit a success. My eyes are healing very quickly.

Recovery and Results After EVO ICL Treatment

While LASIK and PRK reshape the cornea, EVO ICL works by adding a lens to the eye. This difference makes it a valuable option for patients who are not candidates for laser-based procedures. EVO ICL may offer advantages such as:

  • Preservation of corneal structure
  • Suitability for higher prescriptions
  • Reduced risk of dry eye symptoms

Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or temporary visual adjustments during the initial healing phase. These symptoms typically resolve as the eye adapts to the lens. At New York Laser Vision and Aesthetics, we carefully compare all options to ensure you receive the treatment that best fits your needs—not just the most common procedure.
