New upgrade for ICL: available for people with astigmatism

Bye bye LASIK!?

There is no doubt that ICL is a wonderful option for young patients with vision correction needs. Here’s a short list of the advantages of EVO ICL:

  • Cochrane reports better vision in all ranges
  • Wider range of treatment , even quicker recovery of vision
  • Doesn’t mess up the cornea
  • No dryness
  • No ectasia
  • And its reversible!

At VLEC, we have been using EVO ICL for over one year and the results are oustanding. Many very happy patients!

We can remove the ICL in your 50s when you need reading glasses and place a multifocal lens in the eye. It’s a game changer for sure.

Private Cataract Surgery In BC: What Patients Should Understand

Cataracts are one of the most common reasons adults notice cloudy, dim, or blurred vision as they age. In British Columbia, many patients first learn about cataract surgery through their optometrist, family doctor, or ophthalmologist. Some are referred through the public system, while others begin asking about private cataract surgery in BC because they want more choice, more scheduling flexibility, or access to advanced lens technology.
As eye care providers, we believe the best decision is an informed one. Cataract surgery is a medical procedure, not a simple retail purchase, so it is important to understand what is covered, what may cost extra, what private care means, and how to choose a surgical team you trust.
