Discuss this Procedure with a Qualified Eye Surgeon
Intraocular eye surgery is a serious process and involves significant training and surgical skill. Not all ophthalmologists are trained nor qualified to perform this type of refractive surgery. The risks of this surgery can be more significant than that of LASIK eye surgery, so it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of this surgery with a qualified and trained Implantable Collamer Lens surgeon. Choosing an eye center with a quality reputation like the Shepherd Eye Center is appropriate when considering this type of surgery.

Q: What if my prescription changes?
A: Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL® can be removed and replaced with an updated lens if needed.
