What led me to Visian ICL
I started wearing glasses when I was in fifth grade and every year it would just get worse. I thought... my mom wears glasses, my dad wears glasses, my brother wears glasses, [I thought] I’m just going to wear glasses forever.
Visian ICL is an implantable lens that goes in your eye. Nothing is taken away, it’s just something added.
“I would never be able to just wake up and go, and now I can literally just roll out of bed and go straight to the farmers market."
I make special occasion cakes and I focus on using organic and locally sourced ingredients. Having a business so reliant on fresh produce... I knew I would have to be one of the first people to get to the farmers market so I could get the best pick.
I just like how fresh everything is. It’s directly from the farmer. I get to meet who is growing what I’m using and I can learn more about their growing practices.
Questions with Sara
What do you do for a living?
I have a baking company named Matchbox Kitchen. I make special occasion cakes and I focus on using organic and locally sourced ingredients.
How long have you had problems with your vision?
I started wearing glasses when I was in 5th grade. My mom wears glasses, my dad wears glasses, my brother wears glasses, I thought I’m just going to wear glasses forever.
What’s your biggest pain point about contacts or glasses?
It became just a chore to put on my contacts and really just prepare myself for the day. I was never able to just wake up and go.
What about Visian ICL helped make your decision?
Visian ICL is an implantable lens that goes in your eye. Nothing is taken away, it’s just something added. What I really appreciate about Visian ICL is that the implantable lens is natural and biocompatible with my body. It’s something that I can trust and is safe for me.
