EVO ICL
At Magruder Laser Vision, we’re dedicated to providing Central Florida with the latest advancements in eye care. If you’re seeking freedom from glasses and contacts, our EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) procedure offers a precise and effective treatment for a wide range of nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism.
What is EVO ICL? A Great LASIK Alternative
EVO ICL, also known as an Implantable Collamer® Lens, is an artificial refractive micro-lens that’s crafted from biocompatible materials that work in perfect harmony with your eye’s natural structure. Unlike traditional contact lenses or laser procedures that reshape your cornea, EVO ICL enhances your vision through a gentle, additive approach that preserves your eye’s natural tissue, all while remaining removable and upgradeable. It offers an effective and long-lasting option to those who don’t qualify for LASIK due to thin corneas or high levels of myopia.
How Does EVO ICL Work?
Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit on your eye’s surface, the EVO ICL implant sits between your iris (the colored part) and your natural lens. When light enters your eye, the EVO ICL lens bends it onto your retina where your optic nerve is, allowing you to see with greater sharpness and clarity.
The EVO ICL Procedure – What To Expect
At Magruder Laser Vision, we’ve designed our EVO ICL experience with precision, comfort, and your safety as a top priority. We start by creating a small incision at the base of your cornea; here, we insert and position your EVO ICL in front of your natural lens. Since it doesn’t adhere to any structures in your eye, you won’t be able to feel it, and it doesn’t move once in place. The procedure is virtually painless, as we use anesthetic eye drops, and takes no more than 20-30 minutes.

Is EVO ICL Right for You?
Our goal at Magruder Laser Vision is to deliver the clear sight you need and want for your lifestyle.

Ideally, you are between 21 and 45 years of age, have moderate to severe nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, and have maintained a stable prescription for at least one year. You should also have good overall eye health with no history of eye conditions such as glaucoma and are seeking freedom from glasses and contacts.
