What is EVO ICL?
EVO ICL stands for Implantable Collamer Lens. It’s a thin lens placed inside the eye to correct nearsightedness, with an option for people who also have astigmatism.
The lens sits behind the colored part of your eye, called the iris, and in front of your natural lens. Your natural lens stays in place, and no corneal tissue is removed.
EVO ICL is intended to reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts for distance vision. Results vary, and an evaluation is needed to determine whether it’s right for your eyes.
How Much Does EVO ICL Cost?
EVO ICL is $3,900 per eye at Utah Valley Eye Center. We have disounts for students, military, healthcare workers, educators, fire fighters, and police officers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is EVO ICL different from LASIK?
LASIK reshapes the cornea by removing tissue. EVO ICL places a lens inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of your natural lens, without removing corneal tissue.
Can I get EVO ICL if I’m not a LASIK candidate?
Possibly. EVO ICL may be an option for some people who aren’t suitable for LASIK. Your prescription, eye health, and eye measurements help determine whether you qualify.
Does EVO ICL correct astigmatism?
Yes. The toric EVO ICL lens can treat nearsightedness with astigmatism in eligible patients. Your evaluation will help determine If EVO ICL is right for you.
How long does recovery take?
Many patients notice improved vision soon after surgery. Recovery varies, and you’ll need prescribed eye drops and follow-up visits. Many patients return to work or school within 1-2 days after surgery.
Can the EVO ICL lens be removed?
Yes. The lens is intended to stay in place long term, but a surgeon can remove it if needed. Removal requires another procedure and means losing the vision correction provided by the lens
What are the risks of EVO ICL?
EVO ICL is surgery and carries potentially serious risk

What patiens say about EVO ICL
I had been considering eye corrective surgery for years and was so nervous about it until I met Dr. Gardiner and his team. I did the EVO ICL surgery and I could not be happier with my experience. Dr. Gardiner is awesome and helped me feel at ease through the whole process. He’d respond quickly with any questions I had and then would follow up later to make sure everything was ok. His team was so kind. They even worked with my schedule so I could get my surgery done before a trip. An amazing experience, cannot recommend them enough!
Dr.Gardiner took his time explaining how the EVO ICL procedure would be and did an amazing job answering any questions about it. I had it done a week ago and it’s life changing my miopía was too high for lasik so I chose this route instead. Now I don’t need to worry about glasses that were too thick or having to put on contacts every morning. I went from -14 and -13.5 to now 20/20 vision
