EVO ICL implantation is one of the mainstream procedures for myopia correction and has been applied in more than one million cases worldwide. It embraces the advantages of high-definition visual quality, good safety, reversibility and a wide range of indications.

ICL refers to a surgical procedure that corrects visual acuity by placing lens with the appropriate power into the eye. Under anesthesia, an incision of about 3 mm is made in the cornea, from which the lens is implanted. This procedure offers a greater range of correction than contact lenses and therefore is suitable for myopia from 50 to 1,800 diopters and astigmatism up to 600 diopters.The incision will heal naturally after the procedure with regular reexamination in a while.
ICL covers high myopia and astigmatism that are difficult to treat with laser surgery and can be removed when there is any discomfort. While laser surgery is a subtractive procedure that cuts away part of the cornea. In contrast, ICL is an additive procedure with lenses implanted. In addition, the lenses can be removed if it doesn't work well, and you can return to glasses and contact lenses.

How it looks mainly depends on how the individual feels, and everyone has their own ideal. This is why there is a great sense of security in the reversible process. Additionally, in the cases of laser surgery, it has been documented that more than one in ten patients experience refractive regression as the procedure progresses. But ICL can offer long-lasting vision correction.
Only ophthalmologists who are academically trained and surgically certified can perform ICL surgery, which can be considered highly reliable and safe.
