On the Field with Will Levis

NFL Quarterback

Will Levis’ struggle with glasses and contacts

As a quarterback for the University of Kentucky Wildcats, Will Levis knew the importance of clear vision. Every move, every pass, and every decision depended on it. But being nearsighted and wearing contact lenses posed challenges that often impacted his game.

“I've had to deal with glasses and contact lenses for my whole adolescent and adult life. I've even had my contact lenses knocked out during a game, taking away my ability during a play or a drive.”

When he was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2023, the stakes became even higher. Transitioning to professional football meant he couldn't afford any distractions, especially from his vision.

“I wanted to do what was best for me and have the best edge that I could get. When looking at all the options, it became clear that EVO ICL was the best option for me.”

Why Will Levis chose EVO ICL lenses

When doing his research on EVO ICL, a couple of benefits stood out to Will:

  • Safety: Unlike other procedures, EVO ICL doesn’t involve the permanent removal of corneal tissue.
  • Comfort: The EVO ICL procedure doesn't cause dry eye syndrome.
  • Removability: EVO ICL lenses can be safely removed by a doctor if ever needed. This added flexibility gave Will peace of mind.

On the field, EVO ICL gives me more confidence in my game and my ability. EVO ICL lets me play more freely, not having to worry about the daily hassles that come with wearing contact lenses.”

My day-to-day life has changed drastically. Being able to wake up and see clearly right away is such an underrated aspect of life. The difference in my eyesight from before and after the EVO ICL procedure is night and day. I truly know that getting EVO ICL is one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life.

重要安全信息

EVO Visian ICL 镜片用于矫正中度至高度近视。 EVO Visian ICL和EVO Visian TICL手术旨在安全有效地矫正-3.0 D至-15.0 D之间的近视,减少高达-20.0 D的近视和治疗1.0 D至4.0 D的散光。如果您的近视在在这些范围内,EVO Visian ICL 手术可以改善您在不戴眼镜或隐形眼镜的情况下的远视力。因为 EVO Visian ICL 可以矫正远距离视力,它并不能消除老花镜的需要,即使您以前从未戴过老花镜,您有时也可能需要它们。EVO Visian ICL 的植入是一种外科手术,因此具有潜在的严重风险。请与您的眼保健专家讨论风险。

并发症虽然很少见,但可能包括需要额外的外科手术、炎症、角膜后表面细胞丢失、眼压升高和白内障。如果出现以下情况,您不应进行 EVO Visian ICL 手术:

• 您的医生确定您的眼睛形状不适合 EVO Visian ICL

• 您怀孕或哺乳

• 您因压力增加(青光眼)而对视神经造成中度至重度损伤

• 您不符合眼科医生确定的植入时适合您年龄的最低内皮细胞密度

• 根据眼科医生的判断,您的视力不稳定

在考虑 EVO Visian ICL 手术之前,您应该进行全面的眼科检查,并与您的眼科保健专家讨论 EVO Visian ICL 手术,尤其是潜在的益处、风险和并发症。您应该讨论手术后愈合所需的时间。有关潜在益处、风险和并发症的更多信息,请访问 DiscoverICL.com。
