Lens implantation is a surgical method of inserting and fixing a lens to the front or back of the iris by making an incision less than 3mm in the area around the cornea after applying numbing eye drops.
Small incision less than 3mm wide, to surgically place the lens either between the cornea and the iris or just behind the iris, without removing natural lens.
As the optical zone enlarges, it reduces the light spread at night that could happen after surgery. Moreover, with the hole in the center of the lens, it is possible to achieve a natural aqueous flow without any iridectomy.
EVO+ICL, manufactured by STAAR Surgical Company in the US, is made of a biocompatible Collamer material that works in harmony with your eye for long-lasting vision correction and it has a proven history for over 20 years, more than 1 million clients have used it globally.
