What led me to Visian ICL
Usually by the end of the night my eyes are super dry. If I can just get rid of that part of my life, then that little bit of annoyance of everyday will just be gone. I was already on the path of never fixing or correcting my vision and wearing contacts for the rest of my life.
I met this one chick and we were talking about the zombie apocalypse. My vision is so bad, I cannot tell the difference between zombie and regular person. She knew a lot about Visian ICL which I had no idea about.
The thing that I love about Visian ICL is that they are putting a lens in there that can be removed [by your doctor].

“The thing that I love about the Visian ICL is that they are putting a lens in there that can be removed.”
I did a free consultation, that is when they explained everything. What the procedure was like, if I was a good candidate, why I specifically was a good candidate. It is an implantable lens that goes into your eye.
The thing that I love about Visian ICL is that they are putting a lens in there that can be removed [by your doctor]. It is as if my eyesight was never an issue and it is just simply better.
Jennifer Puno has EVO ICL lenses and is sponsored by STAAR Surgical.

Important Safety Information for EVO/EVO+ ICL
The EVO/EVO+ ICL is designed for the correction/reduction of up to -20 diopters (D) of nearsightedness with up to 6 D of astigmatism for patients who are 21 to 60 years of age and for patients 21 years of age or older who have been treated with an intraocular lens. Implantation of the EVO/EVO+ ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. The following represent potential complications/adverse events: additional surgeries, cataract formation, transient or persistent loss of best corrected vision, raised pressure inside the eye, loss of cells on the innermost surface of the cornea, conjunctival irritation, corneal swelling, conjunctival irritation, endophthalmitis (total eye infection), significant glare and/or halos around lights, hyphema (blood in the eye), hypopyon (pus in the eye), eye infection, EVO/EVO+ ICL dislocation, macular edema, non-reactive pupil, pupillary block glaucoma, severe inflammation of the eye, iritis, uveitis, vitreous loss and corneal transplant. Before considering EVO/EVO+ ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about the EVO/EVO+ ICL procedure, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery.
