What led me to 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 ICL which I had no idea about.

The thing that I love about ICL is that they are putting a lens in there that can be removed [by your doctor].

Jennifer’s day-to-day & where ICL helps most.

Morning routine

Twenty years ago I got contacts, I wake up in the morning and travel from my bed all the way downstairs to the sink to get new contacts on. Now I do not even have to worry about it.

“The thing that I love about the 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 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.
