EVO ICL Surgery in Busan, Korea
The latest generation of ICL. A central port lets fluid flow naturally, so no laser iridotomy is needed, and both eyes can be treated the same day in as few as two visits over two days.
EVO ICL, explained in one minute
EVO ICL is an implantable collamer lens with a tiny central port. The port lets the eye’s natural fluid flow through the lens, so a preventive laser iridotomy is not needed before surgery.
The latest EVO+ lens has an optical zone up to 10% larger than the previous model, which helps reduce halos and glare at night. Like all ICLs, it corrects your prescription without removing any corneal tissue.
At BGSS, EVO ICL allows exam, consultation and surgery on both eyes on day one, followed by a check-up, so many international patients complete treatment in two visits over two days.
Fewer visits, simpler surgery
How the EVO+ design changes your treatment schedule.

| Visits | Minimum 2 visits over 2 days | 4 or more visits over about a week |
| Both eyes | Same day | Often separate days |
| Optical zone | Up to 10% larger than previous EVO+ | Standard |
