EVO Staar Visian ICL
What is EVO Staar Visian ICL?
The EVO Staar Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a cutting-edge vision correction procedure designed to address refractive vision issues like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Unlike traditional eyeglasses or contact lenses, which sit on the surface of the eye, the ICL is a surgically implanted lens placed inside the eye, between the natural lens and the iris.
The EVO Staar Visian ICL is an advanced version of the Visian ICL, offering improved features such as a smaller incision size, making the procedure minimally invasive and reducing recovery time. This implantable lens is made of biocompatible Collamer material, which is soft and flexible, providing excellent optical quality and comfort.
The ICL procedure is a popular choice for individuals seeking a long-term vision correction solution, especially those who may not be suitable candidates for laser eye surgery like LASIK. It offers the advantage of maintaining the eye’s natural focusing ability while providing excellent vision correction, making it a viable option for many people looking to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
