How EVO+ ICL Offers UV Protection and Promotes Eye Health

EVO+ Visian ICL (implantable collamer lens) is more than just a vision correction marvel: it also protects against harmful UV rays. At Schwartz Laser Eye Center, we are committed to not only enhancing your vision but also improving your overall eye health. This innovative lens technology offers benefits that extend beyond clear sight, providing essential UV protection that contributes to the long-term health of your eyes.

Understanding UV Radiation and Eye Health

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can be harmful to various parts of the eye and surrounding tissue. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium, which can impair your vision dramatically over time. Protecting your eyes from UV rays is crucial, especially if you spend significant time outdoors.

The Protective Power of EVO+ ICL

EVO+ ICL stands out in the realm of vision correction for its built-in UV protection. This lens is made from collamer, a unique material that naturally filters UV rays, shielding your eyes from the harmful effects of sun exposure. By blocking UV light, EVO+ ICL helps prevent the accumulation of UV-induced damage, promoting healthier eyes and clearer vision throughout your life.

Benefits of EVO+ ICL Beyond UV Protection

While the primary advantage of EVO+ ICL is its vision correction capability, the benefits extend beyond just UV protection:

1. Permanent, Yet Reversible: Unlike other vision correction procedures, EVO+ ICL offers a solution that is both permanent and reversible. This means that while you can enjoy the long-term benefits of corrected vision, any future changes in vision or eye health can be addressed by simply removing or replacing the lens.
2. Quality of Vision: EVO+ ICL is designed to provide sharp, clear vision with reduced occurrences of common visual disturbances such as halos and glare. This is particularly beneficial during nighttime driving or working in brightly lit environments.
3. Suitability for Thin Corneas: Patients with thin corneas may not be ideal candidates for LASIK but can often safely receive EVO+ ICL. This makes it a versatile option for a wide range of vision impairments, including severe myopia.
4. Biocompatibility: Made from collamer, EVO+ ICL is highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and making it a safe choice for long-term implantation.
