Important Safety Information

The EVO Visian ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL procedure may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses.

To determine if you are an appropriate candidate for EVO Visian ICL procedure, you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about potential benefits, risks, complications, and recovery time. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts.

You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL procedure if 1) your eye shape is not appropriate; 2) you do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age; 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma; 4) your vision is not stable; or 5) you are pregnant or nursing.
