Quality of Vision
The EVO ICL improves both visual acuity and visual quality. Many patients notice an immediate "wow" improvement in the clarity of their vision.

See life in full detail and color. The EVO Implantable Collamer Lens is a long-lasting, high-quality vision correction option for nearsighted patients — including many who are not candidates for LASIK.
What Is the EVO ICL?
The EVO ICL — also called the Implantable Collamer Lens — is a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) created by STAAR Surgical Company to treat myopia and other refractive errors. Rather than reshaping the cornea, a small corrective lens is placed permanently inside the eye.
Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction is one of a select few eye care practices in the Beverly Hills region that can insert the EVO ICL. If you are highly myopic and have struggled with thick glasses and poor distance vision — and discovered that LASIK may not be your best option — the EVO ICL offers a long-lasting solution with excellent quality of vision.

The Advantages of the EVO ICL
A proven lens designed for outstanding visual quality, biocompatibility, and a maintenance-free lifestyle.
Biocompatibility
Made of Collamer, a 100% pure collagen copolymer, the lens is not viewed as a foreign object by the body's immune system.
Versatility
The EVO ICL offers a broader treatment range for myopia than LASIK and PRK procedures.
Simplicity
Unlike traditional contact lenses, once the EVO ICL is implanted no additional maintenance is needed.
Discreet Placement
The lens sits behind the iris, making it invisible to the patient and to any observer.
Removable
The EVO ICL is designed to stay permanently, yet it can be removed or replaced if your vision changes.
Are You a Candidate for the EVO ICL?
Individuals with extreme nearsightedness — including many who have been told they are not candidates for LASIK — now have a proven option. You are likely a good candidate for the EVO ICL if you have:
01
Moderate to Severe Nearsightedness
The EVO ICL treats myopia, including higher prescriptions that fall outside the range LASIK can safely correct.
02
Thin Corneas / Not a LASIK Candidate
Thin corneas or other factors that rule out LASIK or PRK often still allow for the EVO ICL, since no corneal tissue is removed.
03
A History of Dry Eye
Because the EVO ICL does not reshape the cornea, it does not affect the corneal nerves the way laser procedures can.
04
Large Pupils
Patients with large pupils, who may be more prone to glare or halos after laser surgery, are often well suited to the EVO ICL.

What Happens During the EVO ICL Procedure?
Before the procedure, your eyes are numbed with a light topical or local anesthetic. Your surgeon then creates two small side-port incisions and one main temporal incision. The EVO ICL is inserted through the main incision and positioned behind the iris, in front of your natural crystalline lens.
Both eyes are typically treated the same day, similar to LASIK. There is very little discomfort and normally no pain associated with the procedure. Drops or oral medication may be prescribed, and a follow-up visit is usually scheduled the day after surgery. Because your vision will be adjusting, plan to have someone drive you to and from surgery.

EVO ICL vs. LASIK
Both are excellent procedures. The right choice depends on your prescription, corneal thickness, and eye health — which a comprehensive consultation makes clear.
EVO ICL may be the better fit if:
- You have moderate to severe myopia beyond LASIK's safe range
- Your corneas are too thin for LASIK or PRK
- You have a history of dry eye
- You have large pupils prone to glare or halos
- You want a correction that can be removed if needed
LASIK may be the better fit if:
- Your prescription is within LASIK's treatable range
- Your corneas are of adequate thickness
- You prefer an all-laser procedure with no implant
- You have healthy eyes without significant dry eye
- You want the fastest visual recovery

EVO ICL Frequently Asked Questions
The EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens — a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) created by STAAR Surgical Company to treat myopia and other refractive errors. The small corrective lens is placed inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural crystalline lens, without removing any corneal tissue.
You are likely a good candidate if you have moderate to severe nearsightedness, thin corneas that make you ineligible for LASIK, a history of dry eye, or large pupils. Many patients who have been told they are not candidates for LASIK or PRK are eligible for the EVO ICL. A consultation confirms whether it is right for you.
The EVO ICL is designed to be placed permanently in the eye. However, the lens can be removed or replaced if your vision changes or if it otherwise needs to be removed.
There is very little discomfort and normally no pain associated with the procedure. Your eyes are numbed beforehand with a light topical or local anesthetic. Drops or oral medication may be prescribed afterward, and a follow-up visit is usually scheduled the day after surgery.
Yes. The insertion procedure is typically performed on both eyes the same day, similar to LASIK. Because your vision will be adjusting, plan to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery.
No. Unlike traditional contact lenses, once the EVO ICL is implanted no additional maintenance is needed. The lens also sits behind the iris, making it invisible to the patient and to any observer.
Collamer is the 100% pure collagen copolymer material the EVO ICL is made from. Because it is highly biocompatible, the lens is not viewed as a foreign object by the body's immune system.
LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser, while the EVO ICL adds a corrective lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue. The EVO ICL offers a broader treatment range for myopia than LASIK and PRK, is well suited to thin corneas and dry-eye patients, and can be removed if needed.
