What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL, also called an Implantable Collamer® Lens, is a refractive implant to correct common vision issues like myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Unlike some other vision correction options, the EVO ICL is an additive technology that corrects vision without the removal of any corneal tissue. The EVO ICL is meant to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contacts and unlike most permanent refractive solutions, EVO ICL is removable by your doctor, for added peace of mind.
What to Expect
EVO ICL is made of biocompatible Collamer material that works in harmony with your eye. Your eye doctor will create a small opening in your cornea that will be used to insert and position the EVO ICL. For most patients, the procedure is virtually painless with numbing drops and it typically takes less than 20 - 30 minutes. Patients typically experience improved vision right away and a quick recovery time.

EVO ICL Reviews
WOW! Super grateful for Dr. Solomon and his staff! ! I recently had the ICL procedure and wish I knew about it sooner. I went from being legally blind to 20/20 in a matter of minutes. Very little to almost no down time. Best decision I have ever made . I was legally blind with an astigmatism and thin corneas and was always told I had no options until I found Solomon Eye. Couldn’t be happier! Totally recommend !
ICL surgery with Dr. Solomon was a life-changing experience, liberation from decades of functional blindness.I’ve had severe myopia since the age of 4 and can’t remember ever waking up and being able to see. Thick glasses, dry eyes from contacts, poor hand-eye coordination, and no peripheral vision shaped how I moved through the world. I’ve never played sports, was always called clumsy, and could never qualify for LASIK due to the strength of my prescription and the shape of my eyes.From my very first consultation, I knew refractive surgery with Dr. Solomon was the right path. He was the first doctor who genuinely understood what it meant to live nearly blind for 35 years, and put into words the frustration I’ve carried for so long. When he called me a hero for avoiding contacts in the weeks before surgery, it felt unexpectedly validating. Based on his guidance, I chose to pursue ICL (implantable collamer lens) surgery, and the results exceeded all expectations.From pre-op through recovery, the process was seamless and reassuring. Dr. Solomon and his team explained everything clearly, answered every question, and helped me feel confident in the decision. My vision is now better than I ever imagined.I highly recommend Dr. Solomon and his team to anyone considering ICL or any kind of vision correction surgery.
