Find Out if EVO ICL is Right for You

Considering vision correction with EVO ICL? Understanding whether you’re a good candidate is the first step toward achieving the freedom of clear, natural vision. Here’s what you need to know about eligibility and how to prepare for your ICL journey.

Ideal Candidates for EVO ICL

You may be a strong candidate for EVO ICL if you meet the following criteria:

• Age Range: Between 21 and 45 years old
• Stable Vision: Prescription has been stable for at least one year
• Degree of Vision Correction:
• Moderate to severe nearsightedness (typically between -3.00 and -20.00 diopters)
• Mild astigmatism (up to 4.00 diopters) can also be treated
• Good Eye Health: No history of eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, or severe dry eye
• Adequate Eye Anatomy: Sufficient anterior chamber depth and healthy corneal endothelial cell count (measured during your consultation)
• Not Ideal for LASIK: Patients with thin corneas or dry eyes often find EVO ICL a better alternative

Who Might Not Be Eligible?

While EVO ICL is an excellent option for many, it may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or nursing (vision can fluctuate)
• Have certain eye conditions such as keratoconus or uncontrolled glaucoma
• Have had previous severe eye trauma or surgery affecting internal eye structures
• Have unstable or rapidly changing vision prescriptions

A detailed evaluation by an experienced ophthalmologist will determine if EVO ICL is the best and safest option for you.

What Happens During a Candidacy Evaluation?

• Comprehensive Eye Exam: Checking vision prescription, corneal thickness, eye pressure, and eye anatomy
• Measurements for Lens Fit: Precise measurements of the anterior chamber and corneal endothelial cells
• Medical History Review: Discussing general health conditions and medications
• Customized Recommendation: Your doctor will suggest whether EVO ICL is the most suitable solution or recommend alternative treatments if necessary

This thorough evaluation ensures that EVO ICL is not only effective but also safe for your long-term eye health.

Benefits of Choosing EVO ICL

• Provides sharp, high-definition vision
• Preserves corneal tissue (no reshaping needed, unlike LASIK)
• Reversible procedure — the lens can be removed if needed
• Fast recovery with minimal downtime
• UV protection built into the lens

Many patients who are not candidates for LASIK find EVO ICL to be a life-changing alternative.
