EVO VISIAN ICL Toric Phakic Lens Implantation
EVO VISIAN ICL Toric Phakic Lens Implantation is an advanced vision correction procedure designed for patients seeking high-quality visual outcomes and individually tailored treatment.
The procedure enables simultaneous correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism without removing the eye’s natural crystalline lens.
This solution is particularly valued by patients with higher refractive errors, astigmatism requiring precise correction, and individuals who are not suitable candidates for laser vision correction.
The goal of treatment is not only to improve visual acuity, but also to enhance everyday comfort and provide greater freedom from the limitations associated with refractive errors.
Modern refractive ophthalmology focuses on improving visual quality, everyday comfort, and freedom in daily life through treatment precisely tailored to each patient’s needs.
About the procedure
EVO VISIAN ICL Toric Phakic Lens Implantation is a modern refractive eye surgery procedure performed to correct vision defects while preserving the patient’s natural lens.
During the procedure, the ophthalmic surgeon implants a thin, flexible EVO VISIAN ICL lens inside the eye. The lens is positioned behind the iris and in front of the patient’s natural crystalline lens.
The toric version of the lens is specifically designed to correct astigmatism, allowing for more precise visual correction and improved image stability.
The procedure:
- is minimally invasive,
- does not require removal of the natural lens,
- is performed under local anaesthesia,
- typically takes a relatively short time,
- uses advanced ophthalmic technologies.
Once implanted, the lens remains invisible and imperceptible to the patient while preserving the eye’s natural biomechanics.
An important advantage of this solution is that the lens can be removed or exchanged in the future if necessary.
Preparation
Qualification for EVO VISIAN ICL Toric implantation requires a comprehensive ophthalmic assessment and specialised diagnostic testing.
The treatment method is always selected individually, taking into account:
- type of refractive error,
- presence and degree of astigmatism,
- anatomical parameters of the eye,
- patient expectations,
- overall treatment safety,
- suitability for phakic lens implantation.
The procedure may be considered for patients with:
- myopia,
- hyperopia,
- astigmatism,
- high refractive errors,
- corneas that are too thin for laser vision correction,
- a preference for an alternative to laser-based treatments.
Every case requires detailed diagnostics to confirm whether EVO VISIAN ICL Toric implantation is safe and appropriate for the patient.
After the surgery, you will usually stay in the doctor’s office for about an hour to make sure your eye pressure doesn’t rise.
The dressing on the operated eye should remain until the first follow-up visit. After the first eye examination, eye drops will be prescribed and the date of the next follow-up visit scheduled. In the first 2-3 weeks, you should avoid physical exertion, as well as pressing and rubbing the operated eye.
After cataract surgery, you should expect your vision to begin improving within a few days. At first, your vision may be blurry as your eye heals and adjusts.
The way you see the colors may seem brighter after your surgery because you are looking through a new, clear lens. A cataract is usually yellow- or brown-tinted before surgery, muting the look of the colours.
It’s normal for the patients to feel itching and mild discomfort for a couple of days after surgery. You need to avoid rubbing or pushing on your eye.
For a few weeks after the operation, you will need to avoid any strenuous activity, or lifting up heavy items.
Your doctor may also recommend wearing the protective eye patch for a few days after your surgery and the protective shield when you sleep during the recovery period.
Your doctor may prescribe eyedrops or other medication to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and control eye pressure. Sometimes, these medications can be injected into the eye at the time of surgery.
After a couple of days, most of the discomfort should disappear. Often, complete healing occurs within eight weeks.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience vision loss, pain that persists despite the use of over-the-counter pain medications, increased eye redness, eyelid swelling, light flashes or multiple new spots in front of your eye.
Most patients need glasses, at least some of the time, after cataract surgery. Your doctor will let you know when your eyes have healed enough for you to get a final prescription for eyeglasses. This is usually between one and three months after surgery.
If you have cataracts in both eyes, your doctor usually schedules the second surgery after the first eye has healed.
After 8 weeks, your eye should be fully healed. The majority of patients see better after cataract surgery. However, you should not expect your vision to be perfect. You may still need to wear glasses or contacts. Most patients usually go back to work with light duties two or three days after surgery. However, full recovery from cataract surgery usually takes one to two months. This includes the time needed for the eye to adjust to the replacement lens and the restoration of your vision to its highest potential.
Precautions
EVO VISIAN ICL Toric implantation is not selected automatically for every patient with a vision defect.
Before treatment, detailed ophthalmic diagnostics are necessary to assess the anatomical parameters of the eye and confirm whether phakic lens implantation is suitable.
Important factors considered before the procedure include:
- refractive error type and severity,
- astigmatism correction needs,
- corneal parameters,
- eye anatomy,
- patient expectations,
- overall treatment safety.
Patients who are not suitable candidates for laser vision correction may still qualify for EVO VISIAN ICL Toric implantation, but the final decision is always made individually after specialist assessment.
