Having limited eyesight is a struggle for everyone who suffers with it, and Peyton List was no exception. The Cobra Kai star has struggled with near sighted-ness for her whole life, but that recently came to an end. In December, List became the latest celebrity in the U.S. to get EVO – a life-changing new FDA approved implantable lens designed to fix distance vision problems or nearsightedness. List had EVO lenses implanted by her doctor to finally put an end to her many years of personal vision frustrations such as torn contact lenses on set, irritating makeup-smudged contacts during her beauty routine, and forgotten glasses when she was on the road.

The EVO lens procedure involved List’s doctor adding a small, flexible lens in both eyes to help improve her distance vision. Now, she no longer has to deal with the daily hassles of contact lenses and eyeglasses. The EVO lens works in harmony with the natural eye while delivering sharp, clear vision, excellent night vision, built- in UV protection, and does not cause dry eye syndrome. If desired, the EVO lenses are removable by a doctor for added peace of mind.
The surgery was especially helpful ti List an an entrepreneur. In 2022, she also added beauty brand Founder and Entrepreneur to her growing resume, with the launch of her clean beauty brand Pley Beauty.Unlike other beauty brands that sacrifice purpose for performance, Pley Beauty features high-performance, cutting-edge formulas, with vibrant colors, sensorial textures, and versatile formats. Pley Beauty is a clean beauty brand, and all products are non-toxic, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. Pley beauty was awarded with an “Allure best of beauty” honor in 2022, for the highest honor a beauty brand can receive.
STAAR Surgical Company is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of implantable lenses and companion delivery systems for the eye. STAAR has partnered with Peyton List on EVO – an FDA-approved vision correction procedure designed for the correction/reduction of myopia and myopia with astigmatism. Peyton had myopia since childhood, which is also known as nearsightedness or the need for distance vision correction. Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide and its prevalence is increasing rapidly. An estimated 30% of the world’s population, or 2.6 billion people, have myopia and this number is projected to rise to 50% of the global population by the year 2050.
