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."

A família de lentes EVO Visian ICL inclui a EVO Visian ICL, a EVO Visian ICL tórica, a EVO+ Visian ICL e a EVO+ Visian ICL tórica e é destinada à correção/redução de miopia de baixa a alta potência (-0,5 a -20,0 de dioptria [D]) e à correção/redução de miopia em pacientes com até -20 D de miopia e astigmatismo menor ou igual a 6,0 D. A família de EVO Visian ICL é indicada para uso em tratamento fácico e para: Correção/redução de miopia em adultos de 21 a 60 anos de idade com potência variando de -0,5 D a -20,0 D no plano focal da lente. Com uma profundidade de câmara anterior (ACD) igual ou maior que 3,0 mm, conforme medido do endotélio corneano até a cápsula da lente anterior. Esse intervalo amplo de idade, de 45 a 60 anos, somente é aplicável à família de miopia EVO Visian ICL e apenas em países dentro da jurisdição dos Órgãos Certificadores da UE, em que a Marca CE é reconhecida (isto é, UE, EEA e EFTA).

A cirurgia de EVO Visian ICL não elimina a necessidade de óculos de leitura, mesmo que você nunca os tenha usado antes. A EVO Visian ICL representa uma alternativa a outras cirurgias refrativas, incluindo ceratomileusis in situ assistida a laser (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, LASIK), a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa (photorefractive keratectomy, PRK), cirurgias incisionais ou outros meios de correção da miopia, como lentes de contato e óculos. A EVO Visian ICL tórica é destinada a corrigir ou reduzir o astigmatismo (de até 6,0 D) que você possa ter (a EVO Visian ICL não é projetada para tratar seu astigmatismo). O implante da EVO Visian ICL é um procedimento cirúrgico e, por isso, envolve riscos potencialmente graves. Possíveis eventos adversos/complicações relatados em conjunto com a cirurgia refrativa em geral: cirurgias adicionais, formação de catarata, perda da melhor visão corrigida, aumento da pressão intraocular, perda de células na superfície mais interna da córnea, irritação da conjuntiva, edema de córnea agudo, edema de córnea persistente, endoftalmite (infecção ocular total), clarões e/ou halos significativos ao redor das luzes, hifema (sangue no olho), hipópio (pus no olho), infecção ocular, deslocamento da Visian ICL, edema macular, pupila não reativa, glaucoma por bloqueio pupilar, inflamação grave do olho, irite, uveíte, perda vítrea e transplante de córnea. Antes de considerar a cirurgia com EVO Visian ICL, você deve realizar um exame ocular completo e conversar com o seu oftalmologista sobre a cirurgia com EVO Visian ICL, especialmente sobre os possíveis benefícios, riscos e complicações. Você deve se informar sobre o tempo necessário para cicatrização após a cirurgia.
