What are EVO Visian ICL® lenses?
The EVO Visian ICL® lenses, also known as Implantable Collamer Lens, are the new generation in correction of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, with more than 20 years on the market and more than 1 million lenses implanted around the world.
It works naturally with the eye, providing excellent visual quality and great patient satisfaction, freeing them from glasses and contact lenses.
It allows expanding the surgical range of those patients who previously could not be operated on with laser surgery. It can be used alone or in combination with laser techniques. It is a painless procedure with a short recovery time with an immediate improvement in the quality of vision.
An evolution towards visual freedom
These lenses are ideal for patients with an active lifestyle who want maximum quality vision. The glasses EVO VISAN ICLs are placed directly behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of the lens, helping to create clear, high-definition vision.

Biocompatibility
Collamer is made up of collagen, which means the lenses will naturally match your eye.
Absence of Dry Eye
By not removing or remodeling the corneal tissue, the nerve endings of the cornea are not ablated, so the ICL intervention does not cause dry eye.
Removable and Reversible
Although EVO VISIAN ICL Lenses can permanently correct refractive errors, in the event of a major prescription change in the future or any new need that may arise, the EVO VISIAN ICL lens can be removed or replaced.
Protection against UV rays
Collamer provides protection against UV rays, as it has unique properties that allow natural light to pass through without altering it.
Procedure and recovery
The procedure is painless and takes 15 minutes. Most people can return to their daily activities in just a few days.
Soft and flexible
The material of the EVO VISIAN ICL Lenses allows for smooth and easy insertion, thanks to its structure that is soft and flexible, which allows a better adaptation to the ocular anatomy.
