Meet Photographer & ICL Ambassador Andrew Oxenham
Meet our ICL Ambassador Andrew “Oxen” Oxenham, and discover how the ICL lens became his premium choice for his vision correction in this ICL patient review article.
Glasses couldn’t cover his whole field of vision, and as a photographer it was important to Andrew to always get the full view of everything he saw.
Andrew saw that the ICL’s lenses were removable, making it the biggest selling point as to why he got the eye procedure. The “tried and true method” gave him more security in choosing this eye procedure over other traditional, nonreversible methods.
“There’s a few big roadblocks to having glasses and being a photographer. Now I’ve got ICL and I can run out and live my life unhindered.”
- Andrew Oxenham, Photographer and Social Media Campaign Creator

Important Safety Information
The EVO Visian ICL Lens is intended for the correction of moderate to high nearsightedness. EVO Visian ICL and EVO Visian TICL surgery is intended to safely and effectively correct nearsightedness between -3.0 D to -15.0 D, the reduction in nearsightedness up to -20.0 D and treatment of astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before.
Implantation of the EVO Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. Please discuss the risks with your eye care professional. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts.
You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL surgery if:
- Your doctor determines that the shape of your eye is not an appropriate fit for the EVO Visian ICL
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You have moderate to severe damage to the optic nerve caused by increased pressure (glaucoma)
- You do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation as determined by your eye doctor
- Your vision is not stable as determined by your eye doctor
Before considering EVO Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO Visian ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. For additional information with potential benefits, risks and complications please visit DiscoverICL.com.
