THE FIRST STEP
Before scheduling implantation of the EVO ICL toric lens, each patient undergoes a comprehensive preoperative examination. Based on this examination, the ophthalmologist will determine whether the EVO ICL lens is the most suitable option for the patient to eliminate their vision problem. The patient will also be informed about the procedure and what they can expect during and after the procedure.
GO TO STEP 2OVER 3,000,000 EVO ICL LENSES IMPLANTED
UP TO 99.4% OF PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTED EVO ICL LENSES WOULD CHOOSE THE PROCEDURE AGAIN DUE TO THEIR SATISFACTION AND STABLE RESULTS.
iClinic Eye Clinic has extensive experience in intraocular lens implantation. In 2022 and 2023, our clinic was the top performer in Slovakia for EVO ICL lens implantation. We were even ranked third in Europe for the number of EVO ICL lenses implanted.
Who are not suitable for EVO ICL IOLs:
- patients with glaucoma, cataracts or other eye diseases
- patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
For patients with presbyopia, we recommend replacing their own natural lens with a new, artificial one. Using the advanced FEMTO Z-Prelex method, we implant an artificial trifocal lens into the patient's eye, which allows the patient to see clearly at all distances without glasses.
