Upgrade your vision and change your life with EVO ICL
Joe and Kevin Jonas chose the EVO ICL lens (EVO) procedure to help them get rid of the hassles of their contacts and glasses.
What Is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is an implantable lens that corrects nearsightedness, with and without astigmatism, through a minimally invasive procedure. The EVO ICL lens is implanted between your iris (the colored part of the eye) and your natural crystalline lens in a quick and safe 20–30 minute procedure. It’s biocompatible and does not remove corneal tissue, so it works with your natural eye and the lens implant is reversible.
EVO ICL does not cause dry eye syndrome and achieves clear vision both day and night.²⁻⁶ EVO ICL is FDA approved.

Important Safety Information
The EVO Visian ICL Lens is intended for the correction of moderate to high nearsightedness. EVO Visian ICL and EVO Visian TICL surgery is intended to safely and effectively correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D to -15.0 D, the reduction in nearsightedness up to -20.0 D and treatment of astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before.
Implantation of the EVO Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. Please discuss the risks with your eye care professional. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts.
You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL surgery if:
- Your doctor determines that the shape of your eye is not an appropriate fit for the EVO Visian ICL
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You have moderate to severe damage to the optic nerve caused by increased pressure (glaucoma)
- You do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation as determined by your eye doctor
- Your vision is not stable as determined by your eye doctor
Before considering EVO Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO Visian ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. For additional information with potential benefits, risks and complications please visit DiscoverICL.com.
