EVO ICL™ Lens at Milwaukee Eye Care
If you’re tired of reaching for glasses or contacts every day, EVO ICL might be the solution you’ve been looking for. Dr. Jason Edmonds, our experienced cornea specialist, now offers this safe and effective procedure right here in Milwaukee.
What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is a soft lens that your doctor places inside your eye. It corrects nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism, and unlike some other vision correction options, the EVO ICL is an additive technology that corrects vision without the removal of corneal tissue and can be removed by your eye doctor if needed
How EVO ICL Works
- EVO ICL is an outpatient procedure performed at Envision Surgery Center
- Procedures on both eyes are typically done on the same day
- We use numbing eye drops IV sedation so you stay comfortable.
- Dr. Edmonds makes a tiny opening in your cornea
- Next, he inserts and positions the EVO ICL in front of your natural lens.
- This process typically takes less than 20 – 30 minutes.
