EVO ICL Vision Correction
Freedom From
Glasses & Contacts
The EVO ICL is an implantable lens that corrects vision without permanently altering your cornea. It's an excellent option for high prescriptions, thin corneas, or dry eyes.
About the Procedure
What is the EVO ICL?
The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a revolutionary vision correction option that works with your eye's natural lens rather than replacing it. The biocompatible lens is placed behind the iris, where it remains invisible and provides exceptional visual clarity.
Unlike laser procedures that permanently reshape your cornea, the EVO ICL is additive and reversible. The lens can be removed if you ever need it for any reason.
Dr. Sales launched the EVO ICL programs at both Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Iowa, bringing extensive experience with this advanced technology to Connecticut.

Why Choose ICL
Benefits of EVO ICL
EVO ICL offers unique advantages that make it an excellent choice for many patients seeking freedom from glasses and contacts.
No Corneal Tissue Removal
Unlike laser procedures, EVO ICL doesn't permanently alter your cornea. The lens is placed behind the iris, leaving your cornea intact.
Reversible
The lens can be removed or replaced if your vision changes or if needed for any reason.
Excellent for High Prescriptions
ICL can correct myopia from -3 to -20 diopters — well beyond what laser procedures can safely address.
Superior Night Vision
Many patients report exceptional night vision quality due to the lens's optical properties.
Minimal Dry Eye Risk
Because no corneal tissue is removed, ICL has significantly lower dry eye rates than laser procedures.
Quick Recovery
Most patients notice improved vision within 24-48 hours with minimal discomfort.
