20-minute procedure. 24-hour recovery.
Clear vision begins at SightTrust Eye Institute.
You've lived long enough with blurry mornings, dry contacts, foggy glasses, and the hassle of not seeing clearly. At Gulfcoast Eye Care, EVO ICL makes clear vision simple, fast, and life-changing.
If your contacts dry out by lunchtime, your glasses limit your lifestyle, or if you're not interested in LASIK... EVO ICL solves the problems most vision correction procedures can't.
Instead of reshaping your cornea like LASIK or SMILE, EVO ICL (implantable contact lens) adds a soft, flexible lens inside the eye. EVO ICL gives sharp, stable vision, without causing dry eye or permanently altering your eye.
EVO ICL is meant to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses. EVO ICL is intended to be permanent, but can be removed by Dr. Shatz, if desired.
EVO isn't just another procedure. It's a smarter, safer, more precise way to see the world.

Clear vision, with zero maintenance! EVO ICL (implantable contact lens) is a modern vision correcting lens placed inside the eye to give you sharp, stable, high-definition vision, without reshaping your cornea, dry eye, or daily maintenance.
Think of it as the next step forward in vision correction - safe, precise, and built for modern life.

Your Vision. Reset.
The next generation vision correction procedure for clearer, more confident living.

I had ICL surgery done last week with Dr Manning. I am so happy with the results. Dr. Manning and staff were excellent. They walked me through the whole process and made a scary but exciting day successful. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced and skilled eye surgeon.
Dr. Manning was thorough in explanation of my problem and recommended remedy. I can finally see!
I never thought I’d be able to go glasses free since I cannot wear contacts & my prescription was so high. I was not a candidate for LASIK surgery so ICL was recommended for me. I am beyond thrilled!!! Thank you so much Dr. Manning 😊
