EVO ICL, or Implantable Collamer Lens, is an FDA-approved implantable lens designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL does not remove corneal tissue. Instead, a small, biocompatible lens is placed between the iris and the natural lens of the eye, where it works with your existing anatomy to help focus light more clearly.
At Kung Eye Center, EVO ICL vision correction is performed using advanced diagnostic technology to ensure precise sizing and positioning of each lens. The procedure is typically completed in under 30 minutes per eye, and the lens is removable, offering patients an added layer of flexibility that permanent corneal procedures cannot provide.
EVO ICL may be particularly well-suited for patients whose corneas are too thin for LASIK, whose prescriptions fall outside the typical LASIK range, or who experience chronic dry eye that makes corneal-based procedures less appropriate. Dr. Kung, a recognized innovator who has played a key role in the development of laser eye correction and invented instruments now used widely in the field, evaluates each patient individually to determine whether EVO ICL is the most appropriate path forward. You can learn more about the credentials and background of Dr. Kung and his team before your visit.
EVO ICL may be a strong option for patients between the ages of 21 and 45 with stable vision prescriptions who are looking for a high-quality alternative to glasses, contacts, or corneal refractive surgery. Candidates generally have moderate to high myopia, good overall eye health, and adequate anterior chamber depth to accommodate the implanted lens.
Many patients who visit Kung Eye Center from East Brunswick, South Brunswick, North Brunswick, Piscataway, and surrounding Middlesex County communities initially come in unsure whether they qualify for any vision correction procedure. A comprehensive evaluation helps clarify candidacy quickly and clearly.
Key benefits EVO ICL may offer appropriate candidates include:
May significantly reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses (individual results may vary)
Does not require removal of corneal tissue
The lens is removable if vision needs change over time
UV-blocking Collamer material may help protect the eye from ultraviolet light
May be an option for patients who are not ideal LASIK candidates
Well-tolerated by most patients, with a recovery period that is manageable for most active lifestyles
To find out whether EVO ICL vision correction in East Brunswick, NJ is right for you, contact Kung Eye Center for a complimentary consultation.
Your experience at Kung Eye Center begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Kung and his team will review your prescription history, map the surface and curvature of your cornea, measure your anterior chamber depth, and assess the overall health of your eyes. This evaluation typically takes about an hour and helps determine whether EVO ICL vision correction is the most appropriate recommendation for your individual situation.
On the day of your procedure, most patients are in and out of the office relatively quickly. The EVO ICL is inserted through a small, self-sealing incision that typically does not require sutures. Most patients report noticing improved vision within 24 hours, though individual results may vary and final vision clarity may continue to develop over the following days.
Many patients from East Brunswick and nearby areas such as Milltown, Highland Park, and Edison ask about downtime before committing to a procedure. Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within a day or two, though Dr. Kung will provide specific post-procedure guidance tailored to your situation. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor the position of the lens and confirm your vision is tracking as expected.

Yes. One of the key characteristics of EVO ICL is that the lens is removable, meaning it can be taken out or replaced if your vision needs change significantly over time. This is a meaningful distinction from corneal-based procedures such as LASIK, which permanently alter corneal tissue. Your surgeon will discuss whether this characteristic is relevant to your individual vision goals and eye health history.
EVO ICL works by adding a lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue, making it suitable for patients who may not qualify for LASIK. Unlike refractive lens exchange, EVO ICL preserves the eye’s natural crystalline lens. Each approach has specific indications, and Dr. Kung will help you understand which option aligns best with your prescription, corneal health, and lifestyle.
