Understanding the Procedures
LASIK
LASIK is a well-established laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is quick, typically taking about 15 minutes per eye, and most patients experience significant improvement in vision within 24 hours.
Mayo Clinic
EVO Visian ICL
EVO Visian ICL is a newer, reversible vision correction option that involves implanting a biocompatible lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue. This procedure is ideal for individuals with high prescriptions or thin corneas who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK.
Key Differences
| Feature | LASIK | EVO Visian ICL |
| Ideal Candidates | Mild to moderate refractive errors | High prescriptions, thin corneas |
| Procedure Type | Corneal reshaping | Implantation of lens |
| Reversibility | Permanent | Removable |
| Dry Eye Risk | Potential | Minimal |
| UV Protection | No | Yes |
| Recovery Time | Quick (24–48 hours) | Moderate (1–2 weeks) |
