Intro

Easy 20–30 Minute Procedure

A quick, typically painless same-day surgery to help you achieve better vision.

Pre-Op Eye Exam

Before you schedule your EVO ICL procedure your doctor will perform a series of standard tests to measure your eye’s unique characteristics for the procedure. Once your doctor determines that the EVO ICL is a good option for you, they will educate you about the procedure and what to expect both during and after the procedure.

Getting Your EVO ICLs

When you arrive for your procedure your doctor will administer eye drops to dilate your pupils as well as anaesthetise your eyes.

Returning Home

At this point, the procedure is over and many patients will have improved vision nearly immediately. Your doctor will prescribe more eye drops intended to aid in the healing process following the procedure. You will need someone to drive you home. Your doctor will tell you when your vision allows driving.

Real Life Stories From Real Life Patients

I’ve struggled with the hassles of playing football and living my life with glasses from a young age, and from my teenage years with the hassles of contact lenses. I have now achieved visual freedom with the EVO ICL.

Lucy Bronze | Professional International Footballer

My vision is not only the sharpest it has ever been in my life... it's the fact that everywhere I look, my vision is just super crisp... I just see so much better than I've ever seen before.

Dr. Joseph J. Allen | Optometrist

The thing that I love about ICLs is that they are putting a lens in there that can be removed.

Jennifer Puno | Web Designer

I feel like a big part of health is using what your body already has. ICLs is in line with that because it’s keeping your eye completely intact. My eye is still my eye.

Eve Torres Gracie | Jiu Jitsu Instructor

I would never be able to just wake up and go, and now I can literally just roll out of bed and go straight to the farmers market.

Sara Tso | Chef

There’s a few big road blocks to having glasses and being a photographer. Now I’ve got ICLs and I can run out and live my life unhindered.

Andrew Oxenham | Photographer

I had my first opportunity to put my ICLs eyes to the test recently in the Amazon rainforest, and it couldn't have been more exciting to be able to spot rare species better than ever.
