See Vision Eye Institute Brings Advanced EVO ICL Myopia Correction to Palm Beach County Advanced lens-based procedure now performed in the practice’s accredited office-based surgery suite in Lake Worth
See Vision Eye Institute announced that it now offers EVO ICL, one of the most advanced surgical procedures for moderate to high nearsightedness, also known as myopia, at its Lake Worth surgical facility. For many patients, EVO ICL has become the preferred alternative to LASIK because it corrects vision without permanently reshaping the eye’s surface and offers the added reassurance of a removable lens. The practice is among a select few in Palm Beach County performing the procedure and is conveniently located near the Florida Turnpike, making concierge-level refractive care accessible to patients throughout the county.
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a soft, biocompatible lens placed behind the iris to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL does not remove tissue from the front surface of the eye, which can make it especially appealing for patients who have been told they are not ideal LASIK candidates because of thin corneas, dry eye, or a high prescription. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes, both eyes are typically treated in the same visit, and most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. The lens is removable, making the procedure reversible, giving patients an option no laser vision correction procedure can offer.
“For nearsighted patients, this procedure can be life changing,” said Jason Gorscak, MD, medical director and founder of See Vision Eye Institute. “For decades, LASIK was the procedure most people associated with surgical vision correction. EVO ICL changes the conversation. For many patients with moderate to high myopia, especially those who want the freedom of clear vision without permanently reshaping the eye’s surface, ICL is the more advanced choice.”
Michelle, one of the practice’s first EVO ICL patients, described the change as immediate and obvious to the people around her.
“I don’t live in a blur anymore,” Michelle said. “It feels like I’m seeing in high definition. My coworkers noticed right away, and I can finally see at night. It has been transformational.”
See Vision performs EVO ICL in its AAAHC accredited, office procedure suite. Patients are cared for by the same surgeon and clinical team from consultation through surgery and follow-up, in a private setting designed for individual attention, clear communication, and a more personal surgical experience. “EVO ICL fits the standard of care we deliver at See Vision,” said Myra Cherchio, COMT, COE, chief executive officer. “We combine advanced vision correction with the education, access, and concierge-level care patients expect when they are making an important decision about their eyesight. From the first consultation through recovery, our patients feel like our guests as they are guided by an expert team that knows them and is invested in their outcome.”
Sahlberg said that level of attention shaped her experience as much as the result. “The care was top notch from start to finish,” she said.
EVO ICL consultations are available now. Candidates are typically between 21 and 45 years old with moderate to high nearsightedness, with prescriptions generally starting at -3.0 diopters. Candidacy is determined through a comprehensive evaluation at the practice’s Lake Worth office.
