Fountain Valley, California – June 03, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Lucent Vision, a boutique vision correction surgery practice located in Fountain Valley, California, is offering the EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) procedure as part of its refractive surgery services for patients across Orange County. The procedure extends vision correction options to residents of Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach who have high myopia or thin corneas and may fall outside candidacy parameters for laser-based procedures such as LASIK. Full information about the EVO ICL procedure at Lucent Vision’s Fountain Valley office is available on the practice website.
The EVO ICL is an FDA-approved phakic intraocular lens that is placed behind the iris to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. At the Fountain Valley office, Lucent Vision offers the procedure to patients with myopia ranging from approximately -3.00 to -20.00 diopters, a span that extends beyond the range typically treated with LASIK. For patients in Huntington Beach and Westminster whose prescriptions or corneal thickness fall outside LASIK candidacy, EVO ICL provides an alternative route to reduced dependence on glasses and contact lenses. The procedure typically takes approximately 45 minutes to complete for both eyes and is performed using topical anesthesia combined with twilight sedation. In most cases, no surgical sutures are required, and a clear protective shield is placed over each eye following implantation.
Alongside EVO ICL, the Fountain Valley practice offers LASIK, PRK, and SMILE for patients throughout Costa Mesa, Westminster, Huntington Beach, and Fountain Valley. The EVO lens is made from a collagen-based biocompatible material and includes a built-in ultraviolet filter designed to reduce UV exposure to intraocular structures. Because the procedure does not reshape or remove corneal tissue, patients in Fountain Valley and surrounding Orange County communities who receive EVO ICL face a lower likelihood of post-procedure dry eye symptoms compared with laser-based refractive procedures. The EVO ICL is also removable if future vision changes warrant surgical adjustment, which differentiates it from corneal reshaping procedures offered at the practice. The ideal candidate age range for EVO ICL is 21 to 45, and most patients are able to return to activities such as driving, reading, and computer work within a couple of days following the procedure.
“Offering EVO ICL alongside LASIK, PRK, SMILE, and refractive lens exchange allows the practice to match patients with the procedure most appropriate for their anatomy and prescription,” said Dr. Nimesh Pathak, MD, FAAO, board-certified ophthalmologist, Castle Connolly Top Doctor, and founder of Lucent Vision. “My fellowship training in cornea and refractive surgery at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary informs how we evaluate candidates for each of the multiple forms of vision correction offered at our Fountain Valley and Long Beach locations, including patients in Huntington Beach whose prescriptions or corneal thickness place them outside LASIK candidacy.” Dr. Pathak is a recipient of the 2024 American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award, a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in both 2023 and 2025. He has been in private practice in the Greater Long Beach area since 2010, with surgical experience dating to 2006 and thousands of LASIK, PRK, and premium cataract procedures performed. He founded Lucent Vision in 2016.
The Fountain Valley office is located at 18785 Brookhurst Street, Suite 105, Fountain Valley, California 92708, and serves patients throughout Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Westminster, and Costa Mesa. Driving directions to the Fountain Valley office from surrounding Orange County communities, including Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa, are available through Google Maps. Comprehensive consultations for EVO ICL, LASIK, PRK, and SMILE are offered at the Fountain Valley location, and each consultation includes an evaluation of candidacy across the range of refractive procedures available at the practice. The office phone line can be reached at 562-431-2748 during standard business hours.
Additional details about EVO ICL candidacy, procedure expectations, and recovery at Lucent Vision in Fountain Valley, California, are available on the practice website, and the practice’s Google Business Profile provides verification of address, hours, and patient reviews. Lucent Vision continues to provide EVO ICL, LASIK, PRK, SMILE, and refractive lens exchange to patients throughout Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, and the broader Orange County region under the direction of Dr. Nimesh Pathak. The Fountain Valley practice plans to continue expanding patient education and consultation resources for each form of vision correction offered.
