Do you want to laissez les bons temps rouler with crystal-clear vision? Ready to ditch those glasses and contacts for good? The EVO ICL might be just what you need to see Baton Rouge in a whole new way!
What is the EVO ICL?
The EVO ICL (implantable collamer lens) is a cutting-edge vision correction procedure that offers an alternative to LASIK. This thin, biocompatible lens is placed inside your eye to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism, giving you sharper, high-definition vision—without permanently altering your cornea. And the best part? It’s reversible!
Vision correction procedures like LASIK work by permanently adjusting the shape of the cornea. The procedure is safe and effective, but it’s not right for everyone.
Individuals with thin corneal tissue, dry eye, or severe nearsightedness may not be good candidates for LASIK. In this case, your eye doctor at Williamson Eye Center may recommend the EVO ICL as an alternative option for vision correction.
Another unique benefit of the EVO ICL is that it is the only reversible vision correction procedure. It does not permanently remove or alter any part of the eye, giving you peace of mind on your vision correction journey.
Who is a Candidate for the EVO ICL?
The ideal candidate for EVO ICL:
- Is aged 21 to 45
- Has nearsightedness and/or astigmatism
- Has had a stable prescription for at least one year
- Does not have eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts
- Is not farsighted
- Is not pregnant or nursing
To find out whether the EVO ICL is right for you, you will need to schedule a free vision correction consultation with our Refractive Surgery Counselor at Williamson Eye Center. They will ask you questions about your lifestyle, vision goals, and medical history to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. It’s usually an easy decision for patients once they learn about all of the benefits.
Then you’ll secure your surgery date and come in for your workup so that the team can get precise measurements before your surgery day.
