REWINDING PRESBYOPIA
What is the EVO Viva ICL?
The EVO Viva ICL (EVO Viva) is an innovative implantable lens specifically designed to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness and presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision).
This advanced lens is crafted from Collamer, a unique, soft material that includes biocompatible collagen, ensuring it works seamlessly with your natural eye.
The EVO Viva ICL is implanted within the eye, enhancing your vision clarity while keeping the eye’s natural lens in place.
ICLs are implanted in over
1 million eyes
Worldwide in over
75 Countries
How Does EVO Viva ICL Lens Work?
The EVO Viva ICL is designed to provide a wide range of clear vision through its extended depth of focus (EDOF) technology. This lens offers multiple focal points, enabling it to correct various vision issues such as nearsightedness (myopia) and age-related near vision loss (presbyopia).
The implantation of the EVO Viva Lens is a quick procedure, typically completed in under 30 minutes. During the surgery, the lens is placed behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and in front of the natural lens, providing an immediate enhancement in vision.
The procedure involves three straightforward steps:
- The surgeon makes a tiny incision at the edge of the cornea.
- The EVO Viva lens is carefully folded and inserted through this opening.
- The surgeon fine-tunes the lens position to ensure perfect placement. The incision naturally closes on its own, eliminating the need for stitches.
