Loden Vision Centers offers EVO ICL in Nashville for eligible patients seeking to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses. This implantable collamer lens sits behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, correcting nearsightedness with or without astigmatism without removing corneal tissue. A comprehensive examination determines whether EVO ICL, LASIK, PRK, or SMILE suits your eyes.
The EVO ICL is an implantable collamer lens that’s placed in your eye behind the iris. Collamer is a biocompatible material that works in harmony with your eye’s natural chemistry.
If you suffer from dry eyes, you won’t have to worry about the EVO ICL worsening those symptoms. Collamer does not cause or contribute to dry eyes.
Because the EVO ICL is placed behind the iris, you won’t have to worry about reshaping your cornea or removing your natural lens. Instead, the EVO ICL is an additive lens.
It’s used to correct your vision in addition to what’s already in your eye. Think of it like a permanent contact lens that, rather than sitting on the surface of your eye, instead sits behind your iris and provides you with crystal clear vision.
Is this the vision correction you have been waiting for?
Your consultation includes an assessment of your prescription, eye health, and whether there is enough room inside the eye for the lens. Ask which surgeon would perform your procedure and review their experience with EVO ICL. You can explore our ophthalmologists’ biographies and credentials before your visit.
EVO ICL can reduce dependence on distance glasses and contacts, but individual results vary and reading glasses may still be needed. Implantation is surgery and carries risks, including inflammation, increased eye pressure, cataracts, and the need for additional procedures. Removing a lens also requires surgery. Ask your surgeon about expected vision, follow-up care, and risks specific to your eyes.
Request a written EVO ICL quote following your examination. Loden Vision Centers offers financing for vision correction procedures, including options through CareCredit and Alphaeon. Availability and terms depend on approval and the selected plan. LASIK monthly-payment examples do not establish the price or financing terms for EVO ICL. Schedule a vision correction consultation to discuss your options.
The EVO ICL is an excellent vision correction alternative if you’ve been told you don’t qualify for LASIK. You may be a good fit for the EVO ICL if:
Although the EVO ICL is a fantastic way to correct your vision, it’s slightly different from other vision correction procedures like LASIK. One of the most significant differences is that with the EVO ICL, you don’t have to worry about permanently altering your eyes.
During LASIK, a small but precise amount of tissue is removed from the cornea to correct refractive errors. But with the EVO ICL, there’s no tissue removed or reshaping that occurs.
Instead, our eye doctors place the EVO ICL in your eye behind your iris. If for any reason, you want to remove it, you can.
Another difference is that the EVO ICL can only correct for nearsightedness and astigmatism. If you’re farsighted, you may want to talk to your eye doctor about another vision correction procedure.
Finally, the EVO ICL is the only reversible vision correction procedure. Because the procedure does not reshape your eye, you can have it taken out.
This is especially helpful if you need cataract surgery to have an IOL put in your eye when you’re older. With the EVO ICL, you can look forward to seeing the world in crisp, robust color.
If everything feels like it’s in high definition, that’s because you’re seeing the world with vision that’s better than anything you had with visual aids.
