Who Is a Good Candidate for ICL Surgery?

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK or you’re seeking a reversible vision correction option, Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery may be the solution. At iSight Care, our experienced ophthalmologist in Los Altos, Dr. Mona Sane, specializes in EVO ICL in Los Altos, offering patients a safe and effective way to achieve clear vision with no or minimal dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

 

What Is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL is an advanced vision correction procedure that places a biocompatible lens between your iris and your natural lens. Unlike LASIK, it doesn’t involve reshaping or permanently thinning the cornea. The result is sharp, high-definition vision that feels natural. The lens can also be removed if needed for medical reasons.

 

Ideal Candidates for EVO ICL Surgery

EVO ICL is designed for individuals seeking permanent yet reversible vision correction without removing corneal tissue. You may be a good candidate if you meet the following criteria:

•          Age 21 to 45: The best candidates have stable vision prescriptions for at least one year.

•          Moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness): EVO ICL is a great option for patients who may or may not be good candidates for LASIK.

•          Thin or irregular corneas: If your corneal thickness makes you unsuitable candidate for LASIK, ICL may be a better and safer alternative.

•          No significant eye disease: Candidates should not have conditions like uncontrolled glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal disorders.

•          Desire for reversibility: EVO ICL lenses can be removed, offering flexibility if future eye treatments become necessary.

 

Benefits of EVO ICL

Patients who choose EVO ICL surgery enjoy several advantages, including:

•          Clear, sharp vision with minimal dryness

•          No removal of corneal tissue

•          UV protection built into the lens

•          A quick recovery time, often returning to normal activities within days
