Houston LASIK & Eye, a renowned center for laser vision correction, is excited to introduce EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) to its range of eye care treatments. This breakthrough technology provides a new solution for patients with thin corneas, severe refractive errors, and dry eyes, who were previously not eligible for LASIK surgery.
Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea to address vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, EVO ICL works by implanting a special lens between the iris and the natural lens of the eye. This minimally invasive procedure preserves corneal tissue while delivering excellent vision results.
“We are proud to offer EVO ICL to our patients in Houston and beyond,” said Dr. Amjad Khokhar, Medical Director at Houston LASIK & Eye. “This new technology combines the lasting benefits of LASIK with the removability of contact lenses, making it an ideal option for those who couldn’t undergo traditional laser eye surgery due to thin corneas or chronic dry eyes.”
The EVO ICL procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes and offers fast vision improvement. The lens treats astigmatism between 1.0 to 4.0 diopters and nearsightedness ranging from -3.00 to -20.00 diopters. It also provides UV protection and reduces glare, improving overall visual quality.
With over 2 million lenses implanted worldwide and a 99% patient satisfaction rate, EVO ICL has proven its effectiveness in treating a wide range of patients. The procedure is simple; after applying a topical anesthetic, the surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a folded lens, which naturally unfolds to fit perfectly in the eye.
Key benefits of EVO ICL include sharp, high-definition vision, excellent night vision, no worsening of dry eye symptoms, fast recovery, and built-in UV protection. Additionally, the lens can be removed if needed and does not affect corneal tissue.
Founded in 2005 by Dr. Khokhar, Houston LASIK & Eye is known for its advanced ophthalmic care. The center has attracted patients from around the world, making it a top destination for vision correction.
“At Houston LASIK & Eye, we are dedicated to providing advanced, personalized eye care,” Dr. Khokhar added. “The addition of EVO ICL allows us to help even more people achieve clearer vision and freedom from glasses or contact lenses, regardless of corneal thickness.”
EVO ICL is best suited for individuals aged 21 to 45 with no serious eye conditions or previous eye surgeries. Houston LASIK & Eye offers free consultations to determine if this procedure is right for you.
With locations in Houston, Sugar Land, and Pearland, Houston LASIK & Eye continues to expand, offering cutting-edge services while maintaining a focus on personalized care and exceptional results.
