EVO ICL: the game-changer

Cameron's vision problems started in the 5th grade when glasses became a part of her daily life. Later, her reliance on visual aids expanded to contacts, introducing a new set of challenges. For approximately 12 years, Cameron navigated the world through glasses and contacts. "I've been wearing glasses or contacts since I was in the 5th grade. And started to struggle with eye dryness and irritation. As a basketball player, I was constantly losing my contacts during games and practice!" The burden of being nearsighted became an accepted norm… until Cameron learned about the EVO Implantable Collamer® Lenses (EVO ICL).
Cameron's decision to correct her nearsightedness with the EVO ICL procedure was fueled by the desire to break free from the constraints of traditional vision correction methods. With EVO ICL, Cameron's life took a remarkable positive turn. "My life has changed for the better! I don't have to fumble with contacts anymore when I wake up or during the day, and my eyes aren't irritated anymore. Plus, I don't have to worry about losing lenses on the court!" The differences post-EVO ICL are noticeable. In Cameron's words, "my eyes aren't irritated and dry like they were when I wore contacts. And I love waking up in the morning seeing clearly." Cameron emphasizes the life-changing benefits that extend beyond the basketball court. Choosing EVO ICL was not just about vision correction; it was a lifestyle choice. "The time I save each day! Living a life free of contacts was a huge selling point; as well as the fact that the EVO lens implant is reversible if I ever need it."

Informations importantes sur la sécurité

La lentille EVO ICL est conçue pour la correction de la myopie modérée à élevée (-0,5 à -20,0 dioptries) et pour la réduction de la myopie chez les patients ayant jusqu’à -20 dioptries de myopie avec 6,0 dioptries ou moins d’astigmatisme. Elle est indiquée pour les patients âgés de 21 à 60 ans. Pour vous assurer que le chirurgien utilisera une lentille EVO ICL dont la puissance convient le mieux à votre œil, votre myopie doit être stable depuis au moins un an avant que vous subissiez une chirurgie oculaire. Il a été documenté que la chirurgie EVO ICL permet de corriger de manière sûre et efficace la myopie entre -0,5 dioptrie et -20,0 dioptries et de corriger partiellement la myopie jusqu’à -20 dioptries dans les yeux ayant jusqu’à 6,0 dioptries d’astigmatisme. Si votre myopie est comprise dans ces plages, la chirurgie EVO ICL peut améliorer votre acuité visuelle de loin sans lunettes ou lentilles de contact. La chirurgie EVO ICL n’élimine pas le besoin de lunettes de lecture, même si vous n’en avez jamais porté auparavant. La lentille EVO ICL représente une solution de rechange à d’autres chirurgies réfractives dont la kératomileusie in situ au laser (LASIK), la kératectomie photoréfractive (PRK), les interventions chirurgicales incisionnelles ou d’autres moyens de corriger la myopie, comme les lentilles de contact et les lunettes. La lentille EVO ICL n’est pas destinée à corriger un astigmatisme que vous pourriez avoir. L’implantation de la lentille EVO ICL est une intervention chirurgicale et comporte par conséquent des risques qui pourraient être graves. Veuillez lire le livret d’information pour le patient et parler des risques avec votre spécialiste de la vision. Les facteurs suivants représentent des complications ou des événements indésirables potentiels signalés en conjonction avec la chirurgie réfractive en général : irritation conjonctivale, enflure cornéenne aiguë, enflure cornéenne persistante, endophtalmie (infection oculaire totale), éblouissement et/ou halos importants autour des lumières, hyphéma (sang dans l’œil), hypopyon (pus dans l’œil), infection de l’œil, déplacement de la lentille EVO ICL, œdème maculaire, pupille non réactive, glaucome par bloc pupillaire, inflammation grave de l’œil, iritis, uvéite, perte vitréenne et greffe de la cornée. Avant d’envisager une chirurgie EVO ICL, vous devez subir un examen complet des yeux et parler de la chirurgie EVO ICL avec votre professionnel de la vision, en particulier de ses avantages, de ses risques et des complications potentielles. Vous devez parler du temps nécessaire pour la cicatrisation après l’intervention chirurgicale.
