If you’ve been told your prescription is too high for LASIK, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. For patients with severe nearsightedness (and even astigmatism), EVO ICL has quickly become a breakthrough solution that’s changing lives and transforming vision correction.

At Tylock-George Eye Care, we’ve helped countless patients with high prescriptions finally experience the clarity and confidence they’ve been waiting for. Here’s why EVO ICL is a game-changer, especially for those who thought vision correction wasn’t possible.

What Is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL stands for Implantable Collamer® Lens. It’s a thin, flexible lens that’s implanted inside the eye—between the iris and your natural lens—to correct your vision from the inside out.

Think of it like a permanent lens that:

  • You don’t have to clean or remove
  • You don’t feel or notice
  • Can be reversed if needed

It’s designed to correct moderate to severe myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, especially in patients who don’t qualify for LASIK due to thin corneas, dry eyes, or extreme prescriptions.

Why High Prescription Patients Love EVO ICL

✅ Works When LASIK Can’t

LASIK reshapes the cornea—but high prescriptions require more tissue removal, which isn’t safe for everyone. EVO ICL avoids the cornea altogether, making it a safer option for extreme nearsightedness.

✅ Sharp, High-Definition Vision

Many patients report clearer, sharper vision than they ever had with glasses or contacts—especially at higher prescriptions.

✅ No Tissue Removal

Unlike LASIK or PRK, EVO ICL doesn’t remove any corneal tissue. This preserves the natural structure of your eye and minimizes dry eye risk.

✅ Reversible and Removable

Need to update your lens in the future? EVO ICL can be safely removed or replaced—something LASIK can’t offer.

✅ UV Protection Built In

The EVO lens naturally blocks harmful UV rays, giving your eyes built-in protection from long-term sun damage.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

You might be a great fit for EVO ICL if you:

  • Are between 18 and 45 years old
  • Have a stable prescription
  • Are highly nearsighted (often -3.00 to -20.00 diopters)
  • Have thin or irregular corneas
  • Are not a candidate for LASIK or PRK

During your consultation at Tylock-George Eye Care, we’ll perform advanced testing to ensure EVO ICL is safe and effective for your eyes.

What to Expect from the Procedure

EVO ICL surgery is:

  • Outpatient (you go home the same day)
  • Quick (about 15–20 minutes per eye)
  • Comfortable (numbing drops are used)
  • Fast-recovery (most patients see better in just 24–48 hours)

Why Patients Call EVO ICL “Life-Changing”

High prescription glasses can be thick, heavy, and limiting. Contacts can dry out, tear, or cause discomfort. EVO ICL offers freedom—freedom to wake up and see, exercise without glasses, and live life without visual restrictions.

At Tylock-George Eye Care, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful this transformation can be.
