Discover whether EVO ICL is the right solution for your vision goals.
Navigating daily life in Queens can be difficult when nearsightedness holds you back. We recognize that not everyone qualifies for or wants laser surgery at Cohen Eye Institute, so we're proud to offer ICL treatment in Queens. This advanced procedure inserts a specially designed lens inside the eye to correct high levels of nearsightedness and potentially reduce the need for ongoing lens wear. Dr. Ilan Cohen, a surgeon who dedicates his entire practice to vision correction, emphasizes safety and customized care at every stage, ensuring a supportive experience and refreshed clarity. Curious about living without the daily tedium of prescription lenses?
Implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) are soft, biocompatible lenses between the iris and the natural lens. Unlike LASIK or PRK, ICLs don't alter the cornea's shape; instead, they work closely with your natural eye structures, focusing light accurately onto the retina. Because the lens is removable and replaceable, implantable collamer lens treatment in Queens can adapt to future vision changes. Many patients with moderate to severe nearsightedness find ICLs life-changing, as they significantly reduce or eliminate reliance on glasses or contacts.
Opting for implantable collamer lenses can deliver a variety of advantages:
If you have moderate to high nearsightedness, suitable corneal thickness, and a desire for a reversible vision correction approach, ICL treatment in Queens may be ideal. People who prefer to avoid laser-based corneal reshaping or those who have been deemed ineligible for LASIK often find ICL a compelling alternative.
Dr. Cohen and our team will examine your eye health, measure your intraocular spaces, and discuss your lifestyle to confirm if this solution aligns with your goals.
At Cohen Eye Institute in Queens, you benefit from the expertise of a surgeon who has performed tens of thousands of eye procedures—a volume that speaks to surgical mastery and patient trust.

No. The lens sits behind your iris, making it invisible to others and typically unnoticeable for the patient.
ICLs do not accelerate or prevent cataracts. If they develop later, they can still be addressed with standard lens-removal procedures.
After initial healing, most patients return to normal activities. We'll provide guidance on how soon you can resume water sports or vigorous exercise.
Because ICLs are removable, a new lens or an alternative strategy can be explored if substantial changes occur later.
Age-related presbyopia can still arise, so some patients might require reading glasses for up-close work down the line.
