>>I don't have halos!

[###] hoosierjenny, what color are your eyes? I've wondered if eye color
plays a role in diameter of the pupil. My eyes are really light blue/green,
and the right eye, which has worse halos, has a slightly larger pupil than
the left. It's always been that way.

Not only do I see halos, but I can also see the little tabs on either side
of the center circle.

No there is no halo producing phenomena. I decided not to get the ICL and I think everyone needs to do their own due diligence when it comes to this. For...

There is research in other ICLs, in particular a Verisyse/Artisan type that is flexible like the Visian, and a toric version of both. ICLs have been available...

O also in response to Jenny, yes the measuring of your pupil is just looking in a machine in a completely dark room. Make sure your dr. does this!!!! The first...

Well said. I'm not troubled by halos, and I think this surgery was the best thing I've ever done. But halos are a serious problem for some people. If this...

Yeah, well despite loving the IOLs I totally agree. Which makes me incredibly worried for the endo cell loss. I mean, if they've already folded up their tent...

This is not a problem, Jean. A good ICL patient sees an ophthamologist every year, and they track the endo cell density (can O.D.'s do this?). If it red-lines,...

I notice them, but for some, if you can't drive, it goes beyond noticing. It affects quality of life. I'm perhaps odd in that I had terrible halos with hard...

I asked about halos before having the surgery, and I was told that they might persist even after the surgery. I just didn't think they'd be worse afterwards....
