Meet Photographer Andrew Oxenham
Hi, Iâm Andrew Oxenham, though most everyone calls me Ox. As a photographer, it's important to see the light around you, which requires your peripheral vision. With glasses, you sort of learn to avoid those areas, your eyes only look straight through the glasses which makes seeing the light around you really difficult. With Visian ICL I don't have to think twice about any of those things.

What led me to Visian ICL?
Growing up, I considered other eye procedures, but had a lot of scepticism, specifically from the fact that they're non-reversible. And so that was actually the biggest and the kind of main selling point for me on Visian ICL. One of the other things that made me feel pretty comfortable about getting Visian ICL is that it's a tried and true method.

Thereâs a few big roadblocks to having glasses and being a photographer.
When you canât see your entire field of vision youâve got a whole bunch of space to your left and to your right, specifically your peripheral vision, that you sort of learn to avoid those areas, your eyes only look straight through the glasses, so that kind of light part of it is really difficult.
Andrew Oxenham has ICL lenses and is sponsored by STAAR Surgical.

Questions with Andrew
What do you do for a living?
I am a photographer who creates what I like to call visual puns, where I take ordinary items and apply them in unexpected ways.
Whatâs your biggest pain point about contacts or glasses?
With glasses, you still canât access your peripheral vision clearly, which accounts for a lot of your field of vision.
What about Visian ICL helped make your decision?
One of the things that made me feel pretty comfortable about getting the Visian ICL is the fact that it's actually been around for a lot longer and that actually helped me see that itâs a tried and true method.
