EVO Visian ICL

The latest technology in vision correction, EVO Visian ICL is an Implantable Collamer™ Lens that corrects common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. The lens, which is slightly smaller than a typical contact lens, is implanted in the eye during a 20 to 30 minute procedure. Worldwide, more than 2 million EVO Visian ICL lenses have been implanted.
