Advanced Vision Correction Close to Home
If you live in Birch run, you don’t have to travel far for advanced refractive surgery options. The EVO ICL offers clear, crisp vision without removing corneal tissue — making it an excellent option if LASIK isn’t ideal for your eyes.
What is an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL)?
The ICL is placed behind the iris, where it works with your natural lens. It does not change your corneal shape, making it safe for patients with thinner corneas or dry eye.

ICL is designed for long-term vision, but it can be removed or exchanged if your needs change.
No. The lens sits behind the iris; you won’t see or feel it.
Often 10–20 minutes per eye, with the majority of time spent on measurements and preparation.
Most patients notice improved vision within a day; full settling can take several days.
The ICL can be exchanged or adjusted if needed.
We’ll discuss PRK/LASIK or lens-based options and recommend what’s safest and most effective for you.
