Re: Intro - Considering Visian

Thanks for your quick response. I don't think toric lenses were
mentioned to me (admittedly I was a little over-whelmed during the
initial consultation and after all those tests). What is the
perceived advantage?

Lens exchange was mentioned during a consultation, and that sounded
good as it would prevent future cataract surgery. However the Dr.
did not see that as a viable option right now. And I'm hoping to
have the least invasive surgery possible!

I can't believe I'm even considering this as only a month ago I never
even knew it was an option. It sounds too good to be true.
Especially since my vision is so bad. From what I've quickly read
today it doesn't sound like anybody wishes they hadn't done it.

Thanks for forming this list.... it makes it much easier to consider
this surgery knowing what others have experienced.

... I think they correct astigmatism, where the regular lenses do not. I gather they are similar to toric contact lenses, but since I don't have much...
