At Blue Fin Vision, our premier eye clinic on Harley Street in London, we’re thrilled to share inspiring stories of individuals who have transformed their lives through advanced vision correction procedures. Today, we highlight the journey of England Lioness and Chelsea professional footballer, Lucy Bronze, MBE, and her experience with EVO ICL.
Who is Lucy Bronze?
Lucy Bronze is a name that resonates with football fans globally. Her achievements include:
- Winner of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 with England
- Five-time UEFA Women’s Champions League winner
- UEFA Women’s Player of the Year Award 2018/19
- The Best FIFA Women’s Player 2020
With a career spanning top clubs in England and Europe, Lucy proves herself as one of the world’s best footballers. Recently, she returned to the Women’s Super League (WSL) with Chelsea FC from Barcelona.
The Vision Challenge
Despite her success on the pitch, Lucy faced vision impairment off it. As a low myope with an Rx of around -3.00 D, she relied on glasses and contact lenses since her teenage years. Although suitable for laser vision correction, Lucy sought a solution offering more flexibility and peace of mind due to the critical importance of her vision in her career.
Discovering EVO ICL
Lucy’s search led her to EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), which appealed to her for several reasons:
- Removable Lens Implant: The reversible nature gave Lucy confidence, knowing the lenses could be removed if necessary.
- Preserving Natural Eye Structure: EVO ICL doesn’t alter the eye’s structure, unlike laser procedures that remove corneal tissue.
- Excellent Night Vision: As a footballer often playing under floodlights, the superior night vision provided by EVO ICL was advantageous.
- No Dry Eye Syndrome: Unlike some other procedures, EVO ICL doesn’t induce dry eye syndrome, crucial for athletes.
Lucy's EVO ICL Journey
About 10 months ago, Lucy underwent the EVO ICL procedure in the UK. The results have been transformative. In Lucy’s own words:
“I’ve won the Euros and 5 champions leagues, but I always had that worry on the pitch that my contact lenses might fall out, and mid-game, it actually happened. Not to mention the dry eyes, uncomfortable lens fits, and daily hassles. I realised I needed to tackle my vision. EVO ICL has been a procedure that changed my life completely, and my biggest regret is literally the fact that I didn’t do it sooner.”
The EVO ICL Advantage
EVO ICL offers benefits that make it attractive:
- Quick Procedure: The surgery typically takes 20-30 minutes.
- Rapid Recovery: Most patients resume their normal routines quickly.
- UV Protection: EVO ICL lenses provide UV protection, beneficial for outdoor athletes.
- Wide Treatment Range: Treats a broad range of vision issues, including high levels of myopia and astigmatism.
Why Lucy Chose EVO ICL Over Other Options
Lucy chose EVO ICL over laser vision correction for compelling reasons:
- Reversibility: Ability to remove or replace lenses if needed provided future flexibility.
- Natural Eye Preservation: EVO ICL doesn’t remove corneal tissue, preserving the eye’s natural structure.
- Superior Night Vision: Crucial for playing under floodlights.
- No Dry Eye Syndrome: Maintains comfort during long sessions and matches.
The Impact on Lucy's Career and Life
Post-procedure, Lucy has seen significant improvements:
- Enhanced Performance: No more worries about lenses falling out during matches.
- Improved Comfort: Freedom from irritation and dryness associated with lenses.
- Simplified Daily Routine: No more hassles with glasses or contact lenses.
- Boosted Confidence: Clear vision without dependencies has given her an extra edge in her game.
