What Is ICL

At Lumea, we strive to provide a diverse array of vision correction options tailored to each patient’s unique needs. One such option is the EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), a lens-based procedure utilized to enhance vision for a broad range of candidates.

With extensive experience in ophthalmology and a strong record of successful EVO ICL procedures, our ophthalmology team serves patients across Toronto, Vaughan, and Barrie.

EVO ICL: A Refractive Alternative:

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a procedure known for giving a great vision outcome to those who might not be able to receive LASIK and other procedures. The process involves a small lens that has been proven to help with:

  • Patients with Nearsightedness: EVO ICL corrects moderate to severe myopia, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses for distance vision.
  • Patients with Astigmatism: EVO ICL can correct astigmatism, thereby offering a more complete and natural vision and improving clarity
  • Patients with Thin Corneas or Other Considerations: For those with thin corneas or other corneal irregularities that make laser vision correction less ideal, EVO ICL offers a viable and effective option as it does not alter the natural corneal structure.
  • Individuals Seeking Minimal Tissue Removal: Since it’s an additive procedure that doesn’t remove corneal tissue, ICL is completely different than LASIK. ICL makes it easy to remove in the future.
  • UV Protection: Built-in UV protection is available

Dr. Paul Sanghera, Providing EVO ICL Implementation Since 2016

Since 2016, Dr. Sanghera Medical Director & Co – Founder at Lumea has been an early adopter and active practitioner of EVO ICL implantation, dedicating significant resources to mastering this innovative vision correction technique. This focus has allowed him to complete hundreds of EVO ICL procedures, making him a valuable resource for patients.

The EVO ICL Procedure:

The EVO ICL procedure involves the precise implantation of a small, biocompatible lens within the eye. This lens works in conjunction with your natural lens to correct vision, without altering the structure of the cornea. The procedure is known for its:

  • Vision Correction: Achieves accurate vision correction without removing corneal tissue.
  • Corneal Preservation: Does not alter the natural corneal structure.
  • Potential Reversibility: Offers the option of removal or replacement in the future, if needed.
