An article published in clinical ophthalmology on 9 january 2024 titled, "a comprehensive retrospective analysis of evo/evo+ implantable collamer lens: evaluating refractive outcomes in the largest single center study of icl patients in the united states" considers the retrospective outcomes of 225 eyes undergoing evo/evo+ implantation from (b)(6) 2022.Out of 225 eyes, 8 eyes required enhancement by either cornea-based refractive surgery or toric icl rotation.4 eyes underwent lasik enhancement.One eye underwent prk enhancement.3 eyes underwent icl rotation.2 eyes underwent icl explant due to persistent bilateral idiopathic anterior uveitis.The authors conclude that the largest us single-center analysis of evo/evo+ icl implantation demonstrates strong early results and infrequent adverse events, supporting icl safety and effectiveness.High predictability and favorable visual outcomes, including 20/20 or better, highlight the reliability of this technology.
