Can You Get an Implantable Contact Lens with Astigmatism?

If you've struggled with vision problems and are exploring long-term solutions, you may have heard about implantable contact lens surgery as an alternative to LASIK. But if you have astigmatism, you might wonder whether this option is right for you. The good news is that modern advancements, including the EVO implantable contact lens, are designed to correct astigmatism and provide sharp, clear vision.

At Erdey Searcy Eye Group, ICL surgery is a trusted solution for individuals with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism who want to reduce their reliance on glasses or contacts. This procedure is gaining popularity due to its precision and ability to address multiple refractive errors in one step.

What is an EVO ICL, and how does it work?

The EVO ICL is an advanced lens made of a biocompatible material that integrates seamlessly with the eye. During surgery, the lens is placed between the iris and natural lens through a small incision. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and recovery is fast. This state-of-the-art lens corrects vision by focusing light onto the retina and can address astigmatism effectively.

Unlike traditional corrective lenses, the EVO implantable contact lens is virtually invisible and provides a natural look and feel. The EVO ICL also offers UV protection, further supporting overall eye health and enhancing the quality of vision. Many patients appreciate the convenience of this solution as it can remove the need for daily handling of glasses or contacts.

Why choose ICL implants for astigmatism?

Patients with astigmatism often face challenges with traditional corrective options, but ICL implants provide a reliable and precise alternative. Unlike LASIK, implantable contact lens surgery does not involve removing corneal tissue, making it a great choice for individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes. The EVO implantable contact lens delivers sharper vision, enhances contrast sensitivity, and reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses, offering a long-term yet reversible solution tailored to specific needs. The biocompatible nature of the lens ensures long-term compatibility with the eye, minimizing the risk of complications. As technology advances, ICL surgery continues to provide a safe, effective, and versatile option for vision correction.

Who is a candidate for ICL surgery?

Determining whether you are a good candidate for ICL surgery involves a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health and vision correction needs. The EVO ICL may be a suitable option for individuals with moderate to severe nearsightedness, astigmatism, or those who are not ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK due to thin corneas or other factors. At Erdey Searcy Eye Group, a thorough consultation will assess your suitability for this advanced procedure. This evaluation includes detailed diagnostics to ensure implantable contact lens surgery aligns with your unique vision goals while minimizing risks. With this thorough approach, individuals have the information needed to make an informed decision about ICL surgery or alternative vision correction options.
