We can guide you through the process and help you achieve clear vision.

What causes myopia?

Ever wondered what causes myopia? This common vision issue happens when the shape of your eye causes light to concentrate in front of the retina, making faraway objects seem blurry. Myopia can be hereditary or caused by environmental factors, such as too much screen time.

Many people develop myopia during childhood and experience worsening vision until their mid twenties when their eyes have fully developed. However, myopia can also occur later in life due to changes in the shape of the eye. While glasses and contact lenses are popular ways to correct myopia, they are considered a temporary solution. EVO ICL may be able to help.

What is EVO ICL?

So, what is EVO ICL? This implantable collamer lens is a biocompatible product made with a small amount of purified collagen, which is the same material used in soft contact lenses. The implantable lens is placed carefully behind the iris and in front of the natural lens of the eye for comfortable, effective results. And unlike other vision correction procedures, there's no need to remove corneal tissue or reshape the cornea.

How the EVO ICL corrects nearsighted vision

As mentioned, myopia occurs when light focuses in front of the retina. The EVO ICL works by correcting this issue. Once the lens is gently placed in your eye, it provides a clear path for light to focus on the retina. The result is sharper vision and, in many cases, freedom from glasses and contacts. You can say goodbye to blurry vision in Auburn Hills, MI, and hello to a clearer, brighter world.

Who is a candidate for EVO ICL?

Ideal candidates for the EVO ICL are between the ages of 21 – 45 and have maintained a stable prescription for at least a year. During a consultation, patients in Croy, Rochester, Clarkston, Howell, Brighton, Fenton, Grand Link, and Bartonville can discuss their vision goals with Dr. Emmert-Buck and determine if EVO ICL is the right option moving forward. Once we assess your vision and overall eye health, we can create a surgical plan.

When to expect results after surgery

Healing from EVO ICL surgery should take 1 – 2 months, but most people resume normal activities in just a few short days. After your procedure, Dr. Emmert-Buck will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. The implantable lenses can be removed under our care, but this isn't necessary unless you experience a rare complication.
