EVO ICL in Vienna, VA

Residents of Vienna, VA have direct access to all the treatment options we offer at Anh Nguyen Ophthalmology. If you are seeking clearer vision or you suspect there might be a problem with one or both of your eyes, we’re more than happy to help you achieve the clear, healthy eyes you deserve.

What is EVO ICL?

An EVO ICL, or evolution implantable collamer lens, is a type of artificial lens designed to correct refractive errors over the long term. It’s similar to a contact lens, but instead of going over the eye, it is placed behind the iris to help with a variety of vision concerns. The procedure only requires a tiny incision and, in total, takes about 10-15 minutes. ICLs can be a great alternative to many laser procedures that aren’t always suitable for everyone.

Laser Surgery Options in Vienna, VA

We also offer a few different laser surgery options at Ann Nguyen Ophthalmology, including LASIK and PRK. One of our experienced ophthalmologists will help you determine which one is right for your needs.

LASIK

LASIK surgery, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is the most popular form of laser vision correction available today. It can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser, resulting in much clearer vision.

PRK

PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, was around before LASIK and also corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The difference is that PRK does not require making a corneal flap, but instead removes the first layer of the cornea. The layer grows back in about a week. It can be a great option for those who cannot undergo LASIK.

Other Eye Conditions Treated in Vienna, Virginia

Our skilled team of ophthalmologists and optometrists treat a range of different eye conditions, including everything from glaucoma to dry eye to macular degeneration. Some of the most common eye concerns we see include:

Cornea Problems

A few of the cornea conditions we treat at Ann Nguyen Ophthalmology include the following:

• Dry eye
• Keratoconus
• Pterygium: growths caused by excess sun exposure
• Keratitis: inflammation of the cornea
• Fuch’s Dystrophy: fluid buildup that can lead to corneal swelling and blindness
• Corneal scarring

Retina Problems

Some eye conditions are a result of an issue with the retina of the eye, and they include:

• Macular degeneration: damage to the center of the retina
• Diabetic retinopathy: damage to blood vessels in the retina and is due to diabetes
• Retinal detachment
• Macular pucker: scar tissue on the center of the retina
• Floaters and flashes

Ptosis

Ptosis is an eye condition where the muscle responsible for raising your upper eyelid starts to stretch and weaken over time, and it can lead to an obstruction in your vision and make you look tired even after a good night’s rest. Luckily, with surgery, we can correct this issue.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease that can cause permanent damage to the optic nerve. It occurs when the drainage system inside your eye becomes blocked, and your intraocular pressure increases with the fluid having nowhere to go. As the pressure increases, your eye can push back on the optic nerve, which can lead to permanent vision loss. With proper treatment and early detection, we can treat the condition.
