Alternative to LASIK: EVO ICL™
At Idaho Eye and Laser Center, we are proud to be the only center in Eastern Idaho to offer the revolutionary EVO ICL™: a great alternative to LASIK that can provide amazing vision results without the removal of corneal tissue.
EVO is a biocompatible implantable Collamer® lens that is implanted into your eye between your iris and natural lens. Only a tiny incision is needed to insert the small, flexible lens. The lens allows light entering the eye to focus on the retina for clear vision. Even though the lens will be invisible to others, it can make your vision sharper and more vivid. Some patients will see more clearly immediately after the procedure is performed.
The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and is performed right on our office. Most patients experience very little discomfort or pain because the eyes are numbed with a topical or local anesthetic prior to the procedure.
Joe Jonas Chose EVO
Joe Jonas (global superstar, musician and actor) chose EVO to correct his vision. Being nearsighted since he was a kid, Jonas always dreamed of having clear vision. His doctor told him about the EVO procedure and now he is telling the world about his experience. You can see his journey by watching the video clip above.
