I am A. J. Cook and I am on the CBS show Criminal Minds. So, I am an actress. I started wearing contacts in the sixth grade, like contacts, started wearing glasses in the second grade. There is a lot of, you know, scars that have come along throughout my life with having to wear glasses and especially with having to wear glasses at such a young age and I was a dancer too. So, it was always problematic having to wear glasses and trying to dance on stage. Every time I put my glasses on, I automatically revert back to that little girl who got made fun of. I was at rock bottom as far as my eyesight went. I would get really kind of distorted vision at night. I did get the halos around the lights and it would be difficult driving at night and I would try to avoid it as much as possible, but when I am working late, there’s no way to kind of get around it. What, what, there is always the “what if”, what if something, what if it doesn’t work. I had heard of that procedure previously just, I think I caught a new story about this. It’s where LASIK was, you know, 10 years ago, not everyone had heard of it. To think you can put something in your eye that would fix it and if for some reason your vision drastically changed you can go in there, take it out and put a new one in. I hope and I think the future for ICL will be the new LASIK. The surgery experience was the easiest surgery experience I have ever had; it was a piece of cake! My eye doctor telling me that I had a bionic right eye because I was already seeing better than 20/20 in my right eye the day after the procedure. It exceeded my expectations because I do have perfect vision now. Visian ICL has completely changed everything, in a way you are seeing, you are seeing life in it through different eyes literally. Now that I do have the Visian ICL implant, there is a lot of things that I can do. I wake up in the morning and I can see. I can see properly at night now, and I never knew what that was like. My advice to people struggling with bad eyesight is get it done because it will change your life. I’ve taken it upon myself to feel like I must tell the world about this procedure because it has changed my like so much.
