EVO ICL, or Implantable Collamer Lens, is a modern vision correction surgery option designed for people who want clear, sharp eyesight without relying on glasses or contact lenses. Unlike traditional procedures, EVO ICL is a minimally invasive lens implant— called by some a “contact lens implant”—that sits inside your eye, working in harmony with your natural vision.
What makes EVO ICL unique? Instead of removing or reshaping any part of your cornea, this procedure simply adds a soft, biocompatible Collamer lens just behind your iris. The Collamer material is specially designed to be friendly to your eyes and provide excellent clarity. Because the EVO ICL is additive—not subtractive—your natural cornea remains untouched, preserving the integrity of your eye.
EVO ICL surgery is reversible, meaning the lens can be removed in the future if medically necessary. It’s an excellent solution for correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism, and considering the UV protection it provides, it makes sense for adults in Denver, Colorado Springs, and the surrounding areas who may not be candidates for LASIK.
At 20/20 Institute, we use the latest EVO ICL technology to help you achieve crisp, high-definition vision—safely, comfortably, and with a truly personalized approach.

EVO ICL is changing lives for adults across Colorado who want clear, confident vision—without compromise. Here’s why so many people trust this next-generation solution:
EVO ICL can deliver sharp, vibrant vision—even for those with strong prescriptions that may be beyond the range of LASIK or contacts. Many patients are amazed by the clarity they experience, often saying it’s the best their world has ever looked.
Unlike LASIK or PRK, EVO ICL doesn’t remove or reshape any part of your cornea. The lens is gently placed inside your eye, leaving your natural tissue untouched. This makes it an excellent choice for those who value preserving the integrity of their eyes.
One of the most reassuring features of EVO ICL is its flexibility. The lens can be removed or if new technology becomes available in the future. You have options—now and down the road.
Dry eyes are a common concern with many vision correction procedures. EVO ICL is different. Because the cornea remains untouched, the risk of developing dry eye syndrome is significantly reduced—making it a great solution for those who already struggle with dryness.
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK due to thin or irregular corneas, or if you suffer from dry eyes, EVO ICL may be the answer you’ve been searching for. It opens the door to clear vision for people who thought they were out of options.
With millions of EVO ICL lenses implanted worldwide and a 99% patient satisfaction rate, this technology is backed by decades of research and real-world success. At 20/20 Institute, our own patients consistently share their gratitude for the freedom and confidence EVO ICL has brought to their lives.
Choosing the right vision correction procedure is a personal decision, and it’s important to understand your options. At 20/20 Institute, we believe in providing clear, honest guidance—never sales pressure—so you can make the choice that’s best for your eyes and your life.

We know you have questions about EVO ICL. Here are answers to the most common ones we hear from patients in Denver, Colorado Springs, and across Colorado.
EVO ICL is ideal for adults (typically ages 21–45) with moderate to severe nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism—especially if you have thin or irregular corneas, dry eyes, or have been told you’re not a candidate for LASIK. A thorough evaluation at 20/20 Institute will help determine if it’s right for you.
The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed as an outpatient surgery. After numbing your eyes with drops, your surgeon will gently place the collamer lens implant behind your iris. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes, and you’ll go home the same day.
Most patients notice clearer vision within a day and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and support you every step of the way.
EVO ICL is considered very safe, but like any surgery, there are some risks—such as infection, increased eye pressure, or glare/halos at night. These are rare, and your surgeon will discuss all potential risks and how we minimize them at 20/20 Institute.
Costs can vary depending on your prescription and individual needs. At 20/20 Institute, we provide transparent pricing and will review all costs with you upfront—no surprises. We’re happy to discuss your personalized investment during your consultation.
Most insurance plans consider EVO ICL elective, but we offer flexible financing options and accept HSA/FSA funds to make your investment manageable. Our team will walk you through all payment options.
EVO ICL can provide long-term, stable vision correction. The lens is designed to last long term. If your eye changes, the lens can be replaced.
Yes! One of the unique benefits of EVO ICL is that it’s reversible. The lens can be removed or replaced if needed, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
EVO ICL is additive (not subtractive), meaning it doesn’t remove or reshape your cornea like LASIK or PRK. It’s especially suitable for people with thin corneas, high prescriptions, or dry eyes. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is typically reserved for older adults with presbyopia or early lens changes.
Most patients return to their normal routines within a couple of days. We’ll give you specific aftercare instructions, but you can look forward to enjoying Colorado’s active lifestyle—hiking, skiing, and more—without the hassle of glasses or contacts.
