If you are currently dealing with moderate to severe nearsightedness or astigmatism, you may have been told that LASIK vision correction or other vision correction procedures won’t work for you. But that doesn’t mean that you have to continue dealing with the annoyances of glasses or contact lenses. The EVO ICL or Implantable Collamer Lens could be a treatment option that works for you. An ICL is a special type of lens, composed of bio-compatible, soft plastic and collagen, that is implanted into the eye to fix refractive errors. EVO ICL is another option, aside from LASIK, to help you see the life you love without compromise. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of having EVO ICL surgery with Campus Eye Group.
What is EVO ICL?
The EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is a type of vision correction solution designed for individuals who are nearsighted (myopic), farsighted (hyperopic), or have astigmatism. It is an advanced lens implant that is inserted into the eye to improve vision, offering an alternative to laser eye surgeries like LASIK or PRK.
Benefits of EVO ICL
Flexible: Were you previously told you were not a good candidate for LASIK or PRK? Does your prescription change too frequently to make these procedures cost-effective? EVO ICL is flexible to meet a wider range of vision needs than any previous procedure and the lens can be removed and upgraded as needed!
Simple: Once your EVO ICL lens is in place, it will be your little maintenance-free secret. No one else will even know it is there, and you won’t have to do anything special to care for your new EVO ICL lenses except to take regular good care of your eyes.
Safe: EVO ICL may be new to you, but it is not new to the ophthalmic field. More than 500,000 sets of eyes are seeing better today than ever before thanks to EVO ICL, including more than 100,000 clinical trial participants who routinely reported 99 percent satisfaction after their EVO ICL procedure.
Superior Vision: Rigorous EVO ICL clinical trials consistently deliver 99 percent participant satisfaction – including improved vision clarity and greatly improved night vision!
Speedy: Have 30 minutes to spare? Want immediate results? EVO ICL delivers!
Goodbye Dry Eye: EVO ICL uses only bio-compatible lenses, so it won’t cause dry eye, which is problematic in many vision improvement procedures.
EVO ICL Candidates
Campus Eye Group in New Jersey wants to make sure every single patient experiences optimal results from their EVO ICL procedure.
You may be a good candidate if you are at least 21 and not older than 45, have only minor or no astigmatism, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, have never had eye disease or prior eye surgery, are not allergic to any medications used in the EVO ICL procedure and have healthy and appropriate eye structure and tissue health.
The EVO ICL Procedure
Here at Campus Eye Group in New Jersey, our goal is your complete comfort and satisfaction! We use a topical anesthetic plus a sedative so you can comfortably relax for your 30-minute lens insertion. One or two very tiny incisions allow us to implant your lenses quickly and accurately. We will apply a soothing gel around your eyes to protect them completely while your lenses are inserted.
When the procedure is complete, you will be able to see better right away! After one or two days of light, restricted activity, you should be able to resume your regular daily schedule with no restrictions.
We will give you a prescription to fill in advance for eye drops. These drops will guard against inflammation or infection for several days after your procedure. Please plan to have a loved one accompany you to your procedure so they can drive you home. We will schedule your follow-up appointment within 24 hours of your procedure date.
Announcing EVO Toric ICL
Campus Eye Group is proud to offer our patients the newly FDA-approved EVO Toric ICL lenses as well as the standard EVO ICL lenses.
The EVO Toric ICL is designed to treat astigmatism as well as myopia (nearsightedness), a benefit the original EVO ICL lens was not designed to provide. Until EVO Toric ICL, patients with astigmatism have had few viable options for permanent, low-maintenance vision correction.
Is EVO Toric ICL As Effective as EVO ICL?
In a word – yes! More than one-quarter (120,000+) of the EVO lenses (500,000+) that have been installed in patients to date have been Toric lenses. A whopping 75 percent of Toric patients report vision improvement to match or exceed what they experienced using glasses.
Does Toric have advantages over other corrective vision procedures?
Absolutely. Each Toric lens is tailor-crafted to the individual patient’s vision needs. As such, no two Toric lenses will ever be precisely the same.
Toric ICL lenses can be easily removed at a later time if your prescription changes and you need to upgrade.
Most importantly, Toric ICL lenses can help even patients with astigmatism to see clearly and vividly – an advantage few other corrective procedures can provide.
EVO Toric ICL can also be used if you are not a good candidate for another procedure such as LASIK due to dry eye, a thinning cornea, or a high eye prescription.

Dr Singh did a great job on my cataracts and was very helpful explaining all the possibilities to me, his assistants and all the surgical staff were great especially the anesthesiologist who was second to none she took the time to explain in great detail what she would do and how I would be taken care of. I went into the surgery calm and well informed. THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF.
