👀 Thinking about EVO ICL? We’re answering the TOP 5 questions we hear most often here at Loden Vision Centers!

1️⃣ What is EVO ICL? A revolutionary implantable lens used for modern vision correction. It’s unique because it’s a solution for those who may not be a candidate for LASIK or simply want a procedure that’s reversible.

2️⃣ Does it hurt? Nope! The procedure is designed to be comfortable. You may feel a little pressure but no pain.

3️⃣ Is EVO ICL permanent? Yes, but it’s also removable if ever needed, making it a flexible vision correction option.

4️⃣ How long is surgery? The procedure itself typically takes about 20 minutes for both eyes.

5️⃣ Who is a good candidate? EVO ICL may be a great option for people who aren’t candidates for LASIK or who have higher prescriptions. Others choose EVO ICL simply because they prefer the procedure and outcomes over other corrective surgeries.

💚 Our team is here to walk you through every vision correction option. Schedule your complimentary consultation today and see if EVO ICL is right for you!
