Take the LASIK Self-Test!
LASIK is a seamless, virtually painless, blade-free procedure designed to reduce the need for prescription glasses and contact lenses by correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is the most well-known refractive surgery for vision correction.

A majority of people who meet the age and general health requirements are good candidates for LASIK, but only a thorough exam can tell if LASIK is right for you. Here are some general guidelines that can help you determine if you are a candidate for laser vision correction:
EVO ICL is an advanced vision correction procedure that frees patients from the inconvenience and expense of contact lenses and glasses. The implantable lens, positioned behind the iris, corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism. Designed for patient comfort and surgical efficiency, EVO ICL allows people to enjoy more active lifestyles and improved quality of life.
Schedule a Free ConsultationWhile both EVO ICL and LASIK are vision correction procedures, they differ in their approach. LASIK involves reshaping the cornea using a laser, whereas EVO ICL is an implantable lens that sits behind the iris without altering the corneal shape. EVO ICL is often suitable for patients with thin corneas or high prescriptions who may not qualify for LASIK.
Additionally, EVO ICL is reversible, as the lens can be removed if needed, while LASIK permanently changes the cornea. The EVO ICL procedure is typically quicker and more comfortable for patients compared to LASIK. Ultimately, the choice between EVO ICL and LASIK depends on the characteristics of each patient’s eye and the recommendation of your ophthalmologist.
