At LA Sight, we’ve performed thousands of laser vision correction procedures, helping countless patients achieve clearer vision. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK. Some people are turned down due to thin corneas, high prescriptions, or a combination of both. If you’ve been told LASIK isn’t right for you, there’s good news— the EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) could be the perfect alternative.
EVO ICL is a revolutionary vision correction procedure designed to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness (myopia), with or without astigmatism. The procedure involves placing a biocompatible lens inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens. While laser vision correction reshapes the cornea, EVO ICL corrects vision without the removal of any corneal tissue. This makes EVO ICL an excellent option for those who want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses but are not eligible for LASIK due to thin corneas, dry eyes, or high prescriptions.

The EVO ICL procedure is a quick, outpatient surgery typically completed in under 30 minutes per eye. After administering a mild sedative and numbing eye drops, a tiny incision is made at the edge of the cornea. The foldable ICL is then inserted and positioned behind the iris. The incision is self-sealing, eliminating the need for stitches. Most patients experience immediate vision improvement, with full recovery within a few days.
