What to Expect During a Consultation for EVO+ ICL

The EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) offers a solution if you are seeking vision correction but are not an ideal candidate for laser-based procedures. As part of the comprehensive refractive services at Schwartz Laser Eye Center (with locations in Scottsdale, Glendale, and Mesa, AZ), our doctor-led EVO+ ICL consultation is designed to thoroughly evaluate your eyes and determine candidacy for this advanced lens-based option.

Initial Eye Health Assessment

The consultation begins with a detailed review of your medical and ocular history. This includes an evaluation of any prior surgeries, eye conditions, or systemic health factors that could influence the choice of vision correction. The clinical team performs a comprehensive eye exam to assess current prescription stability, visual acuity, and overall eye health.

Diagnostic Testing for EVO+ ICL Suitability

During a consultation for EVO+ ICL, you will undergo several diagnostic tests to gather precise measurements of your anatomy. These assessments often include:

• Corneal topography to map the surface curvature of your cornea.
• Anterior chamber depth measurement to ensure there is adequate space to accommodate the lens.
• Endothelial cell count to evaluate the health of the corneal inner layer.
• Pupil size analysis to help plan for postoperative visual quality.

Each of these measurements allows the ophthalmologist to determine if the EVO+ ICL is appropriate for your unique ocular characteristics.

Discussion of Visual Goals

At a consultation, you have an opportunity to discuss their visual priorities and daily activities. The team at Schwartz Laser Eye Center explains how the EVO+ ICL works, including its ability to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism without removing corneal tissue. Unlike laser procedures, the EVO+ ICL is placed inside the eye behind the iris, where it remains invisible and functions alongside the natural lens.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Once diagnostic results are reviewed, our ophthalmologists outline a personalized treatment plan. This includes an overview of the procedure steps and a recommended timeline for surgery if you are found to be a suitable candidate. The approach helps you to feel informed and comfortable throughout the entire process.
