A Better Alternative to LASIK at See Vision Eye Institute

While LASIK has long been a household name, it’s not the ideal solution for everyone. As patient preferences evolve, many individuals with moderate to high nearsightedness (typically -3.0 diopters or greater) are turning to EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) as a preferred vision correction option. Unlike laser-based procedures that permanently remove corneal tissue, EVO ICL is a reversible lens implant that works within the eye to improve vision while preserving the cornea’s natural structure. This approach reduces the risk of certain complications or visual aberrations, offering clarity, safety, and flexibility for qualified candidates.

Led by board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Jason Gorscak, See Vision Eye Institute offers this breakthrough lens technology in our state-of-the-art Lake Worth facility, complete with an on-site surgical suite and a fully personalized experience.

EVO ICL is not just a backup option for those who can’t have LASIK, it’s often the better option.

What is EVO ICL?

EVO ICL is an implantable contact lens made from biocompatible Collamer that is placed inside the eye to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism. Unlike LASIK or PRK, EVO ICL doesn’t involve removing corneal tissue. Instead, it works in harmony with your natural eye structure to deliver crisp, high-definition vision, while preserving future flexibility.

This alternative to LASIK is ideal for individuals with thin corneas, dry eyes, or high prescriptions who may not qualify for laser surgery. The procedure is quick, painless, and fully reversible, giving you both immediate and long-term freedom from glasses and contacts.

EVO ICL vs. LASIK: What Makes EVO ICL Different?

While LASIK is well-known, it isn’t ideal for everyone. EVO ICL provides a compelling alternative, especially for those with specific vision needs or concerns about laser-based procedures. Here’s how the two compare:

EVO ICL: A Tissue-Preserving, Reversible Option

This advanced procedure does not remove corneal tissue, making it an excellent solution for patients with thin corneas or dry eyes. The lens is inserted through a micro-incision and gently placed behind the iris, where it enhances vision naturally. EVO ICL is fully reversible and can be upgraded if your prescription changes over time.

  • No corneal reshaping or removal
  • Maintains structural integrity of the eye
  • Built-in UV protection
  • Reversible and upgradeable
  • Immediate, high-definition results
  • Both eyes treated the same day

LASIK: Effective but Not for Everyone

While LASIK is a widely recognized option, our focus at See Vision Institute is on providing safer, more flexible alternative for our nearsighted patients. (You can be a candidate for LASIK and still be a great EVO patient). LASIK works by permanently reshaping the cornea using a laser, which can be effective for many, but isn’t ideal for those with thin corneas, high prescriptions, or chronic dry eyes. Once performed, LASIK cannot be reversed. While recovery is generally fast, the procedure does alter your natural corneal anatomy.

  • Removes corneal tissue with a laser
  • May cause or worsen dry eye symptoms
  • Irreversible changes to corneal structure
  • Not ideal for all prescriptions or eye shapes
  • Doesn't cause dry eye
  • No corneal reshaping or removal
  • Maintains structural integrity of the eye
  • Built-in UV protection
  • Reversible and upgradeable
  • Immediate, high-definition results
  • Both eyes treated the same day

What to Expect During EVO ICL Surgery

Performed right here in our Lake Worth facility, EVO ICL surgery is a seamless outpatient procedure. After applying anesthetic eye drops, Dr. Gorscak creates a micro-incision to insert the lens, which gently unfolds into position behind the iris. The process takes 20 to 30 minutes, and both eyes are typically treated in the same session. Patients can expect a brief recovery period in our comfortable post-op area, before heading home. You'll receive personalized aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery and optimal results.

No corneal tissue is removed. No stitches are needed. And you’ll walk out seeing the world more clearly.
