Is the EVO ICL™ Permanent?
For those considering effective yet minimally-invasive vision correction, the EVO ICL™ (Implantable Collamer Lens) can be an excellent option. The EVO ICL™ (or Implantable Collamer® Lens) is placed between the iris and the natural lens to significantly improve mild to severe myopia (nearsightedness) and other refractive errors. What’s more, the EVO ICL™ procedure is typically very quick – usually around 20 minutes in duration – and virtually painless.
As this solution continues to grow in popularity, patients at New Eyes Las Vegas frequently wonder whether the EVO ICL™ is permanent. According to our experienced eye surgeon, Emily Schorr, MD, one of the key attractions of EVO ICL™ is its flexibility; in other words, it was designed to provide a permanent correction, but it also has the advantage of being removable. Patients often appreciate this feature, which preserves the possibility of choosing a different option in the event of future visual changes (i.e. as a patient ages).*
