Health Canada Approves STAAR Surgical’s EVO Visian ICL

May 13, 2016

Monrovia, Calif.-based STAAR Surgical has secured Health Canada approval for its EVO Visian implantable Collamer lens, the company announced Friday.

Unlike traditional contact lenses, the EVO ICL is implanted inside the eye between the iris and the natural lens — where it stays permanently — to correct vision.

Data show patients achieved 20/20 or better visual acuity through five years of follow up, according to the company. — Anisa Jibrell
