At Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center, we take pride in offering a variety of alternative vision correction procedures to LASIK so we can find the best vision solution for you. Dr. Sandy T. Feldman is proud to offer the EVO Visian Implantable Collamer Lens ICL in San Diego. The Staar Surgical EVO/ EVO+ ICLs provides an innovative step towards providing visual freedom for a wide range of both nearsightedness (prescriptions from -3 diopters all the way up to -20 diopters) and astigmatism (up to 4.0 diopters).It has a high success rate in treating these conditions. Results of the Toric EVO/ EVO+ ICL showed 90.3% of patients achieved 20/20 or better vision whereas 75.5% achieved 20/15 or better vision. 100% of patients achieved driving vision, 20/40 or better.

The procedure involves implanting a thin, flexible, collamer lens into the eye in front of the natural lens, which helps to correct the way light is focused on the retina. Dr. Sandy T. Feldman is among the most experienced ICL surgeons in the country and has vast experience in selection of ideal patient criteria for this procedure. Dr. Sandy T. Feldman is the number one ICL surgeon in San Diego. (2)
Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, the EVO ICL is an additive procedure that places a biocompatible lens behind the iris. This maintains the integrity of the cornea and is reversible if necessary. The EVO ICL is often preferable for patients with high prescriptions, thin corneas, or concerns about dry eyes and nighttime vision. Watch this video about EVO ICL
