What led me to Visian ICL
I have dreamed of having eye surgery. My doctor tells me there is another option, Visian ICL and he explained to us what it was. And I’m thinking… why have I never heard of this?
I feel like a big part of health is using what your body already has. Visian ICL is completely in line with that because it’s keeping your eye completely intact.

Eve's day-to-day & where Visian ICL helps most.
Full contact mom
On the mat
"It’s been over six years since I had my Visian ICL lenses implanted and I still couldn’t be happier with my vision. Now, all I have to focus on is Jiu Jitsu, empowering women and being a mommy.”
I first discovered that I needed glasses in the fifth grade. I remember sitting in the back of my class and borrowing my friend's glasses and I put them on and said "I can see the chalkboard."
Nothing has been quite as challenging as being a mother and learning who this person is and how I can be the best mother for him. A big part of that is finding how I’m going to balance all these things in my life and still make him the priority that he is to me.
I’ve never been more grateful for not having contacts or glasses at this point of my life.
Eve Torres Gracie has EVO ICL lenses and is sponsored by STAAR Surgical.

Questions with Eve
What do you do for a living?
I am a professional athlete and more importantly, a mom.
How long have you had problems with your vision?
I discovered my need for glasses in the 5th grade while sitting in the back of the classroom. I borrowed my friend’s glasses and I could actually see without squinting.
What’s your biggest pain point about contacts or glasses?
Being an athlete and having vision issues is a huge inconvenience. It really makes things challenging especially when it’s contact sports.
What about Visian ICL helped make your decision?
I believe a big part of health is using what your body already has and just making it work for you, which is exactly what Visian ICL does. My eye is still completely intact. My eye is still my eye.
