Contacts sit on your eye. EVO ICL is placed inside your eye.

EVO ICL is a tiny *implantable* lens and form of modern vision correction that is placed *behind* the iris and in front of your natural lens—so you can correct vision without the daily hassle of contacts, solutions, dryness, or forgetting them at home.

For the right candidate, it can be a game-changer!

If you’ve been living in the same frames for a while, consider this your sign: red and pink styles are having a moment, and they’re surprisingly wearable!

They’re flattering, photo-friendly, and honestly… kind of a confidence boost. Stop by the optical shop and try a few on — you might find your new favorite pair.

Happy Valentine's Day from ! 🩷❤️💜

Did you know? Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) can not only improve vision, but prevent cataracts!

RLE replaces the eye’s natural lens before it becomes a cataract.

At Carrot LASIK & Eye Center in Mesa, AZ, RLE can also reduce dependence on glasses for many people, depending on your testing and lens choice.

If you’re curious whether RLE is a fit, start with an EyeAnalysis.
