Life Changing

"EVO ICL has been a procedure that changed my life completely, my biggest regret is literally the fact that I didn’t do it sooner. EVO ICL gave me excellent vision, and changed everything, I wish I’d done it sooner!"

Off the pitch

My bad eyesight was definitely a big inconvenience for me, not just in my football but in all ways of life, I’m someone whose very active, I want to go swimming, I want to play on the beach, I want to do all of these things, and with contacts it was becoming just too difficult, I thought that’s it, I need to do something about it. My life is definitely simpler with EVO ICL now, on and off the pitch. EVO has improved my eyesight to even better than 20:20, which is amazing.

Questions With Lucy

What do you do for a living?

I am a professional footballer, playing league, European and international games.

How long have you had problems with your vision?

I first discovered that I needed glasses when I was about 9 years old. I was often losing or breaking my glasses while playing football. When I became a teenager I began wearing contact lenses for when I was playing sport.

What’s your biggest pain point about wearing contacts?

I had quite a few problems with contact lenses, as any contact lens wearer will tell you, after a few hours of wear you start to feel irritated, dry eyes, rubbing you eyes, you’re waiting to get home so can finally take your lenses out and put your glasses on for a moment. It’s like when you take you shoes off at home and get to put your feet up, that was that feeling of I get to take my lenses out finally. Not to mention the worry that a lens might fall out during a game, which actually happened during a league game.

What about EVO ICL helped make your decision?

EVO is a revolutionary procedure that doesn’t use lasers and works in harmony with my natural eye, it’s a revisable lens implant, so if ever necessary the lenses can be removed by my consultant. When I found out that the EVO lens that’s implanted can be removed, I thought if my eyesight does change with age I had the option to do things with that and being in control with those type of things when it comes to my eyes really appealed to me. EVO is designed to be a permanent vision correction solution, no daily maintenance or periodical replacement is required. But, if for any reason, there is a need or desire to have it removed, a consultant can do that. Having that flexibility for the future provided me with the peace of mind I needed to make the decision. EVO is additive, doesn’t remove any corneal tissue with lasers, so in complete harmony with my natural eye – my eye is still the same, my eye.
