Who is Dr. Ivo Ďurkovič, MPH? 

Dr. Ďurkovič, MPH, serves as the lead eye surgeon at our iClinic in Bratislava. He has performed thousands of successful procedures and has extensive professional experience. He is well known not only among patients but also within the medical community as a leader in the field of phakic lens implantation – especially EVO ICL lenses, which offer a modern alternative to laser surgery. 

The award, which he personally received from representatives of STAAR Surgical, is presented quarterly to the most successful eye surgeons worldwide – based on the number of EVO ICL implants performed and the quality of their clinical results.

“It’s a great honor for me, and also a responsibility to my patients, to continue providing the best options that modern eye surgery can offer. Every successful EVO ICL implantation means a new life without glasses for a person – and that’s the greatest reward for me,” says Dr. Ivo Ďurkovič, MPH.



Why Choose EVO ICL Lenses? 

EVO ICL lenses offer an innovative, safe, and stable solution for people with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism – up to 20 diopters. One major advantage over laser procedures is that the surgery is suitable even for patients with thin corneas, who are not candidates for traditional laser eye surgery. 

Additional benefits of EVO ICL lenses include: 
  • painless procedure 
  • short surgery time – just 2 to 4 minutes 
  • rapid visual stabilization 
  • future adjustability or lens removal, if needed 
  • no alteration of the corneal structure, meaning less interference with the eye’s natural anatomy 
  • no dry eye syndrome or need for artificial tears 


How Does the Procedure Work? 

EVO ICL implantation is an outpatient procedure that does not require hospitalization. The patient feels no pain during the process – only mild pressure. The entire procedure is very quick, and compared to laser surgery, it involves minimal disruption to the eye’s tissues. 

It’s an ideal solution for those who want sharp vision without glasses – safely, efficiently, and quickly – even with very high diopters or thin corneas.


Why Choose iClinic? 

iClinic offers state-of-the-art technology, a team of top-tier specialists, and a personalized approach to every patient. The fact that the world’s most successful EVO ICL lens implantologist practices at our clinic is clear proof that quality and results speak for themselves.
