... I'm curious about your experience with the Verisyse lens. This is the lens I asked about when I went to my surgeon, but he directed me towards the Visian...
Hi, I've put a picture of my eye in the photos folder. It's less visable than a contact lens, but people can see it if they are told it is there. You can not...

Hello, I stumbled across Michael's blog while I was writing my own blog about my experience with Visian. Of course, I didn't find it until the day before my...
Welcome Matt. I too found out about these blogs after my surgery. I wore Toric contact lenses like u did (and gas perms before that). did u inquire about...
Hi, I thought I'd post what I've found out about off center pupils and PIOL/PICL's. I recently found out that my pupil is off center. This isn't an issue when...
Hi, Sorry if this is a duplicate reply. I thought I had already posted the following, but I don't see it in the message list. I ended up with two different...
I didn't ask about the Toric ICLs because the website for STAAR said it was good for up to -2.5 cylinders of astigmatism. I'm -1.25 so I didn't think much of...
I'm going to end up waiting three weeks between my two surgeries, but I can wear a contact lens in the other eye during that time. My surgeon only operates on...

OK, so I've been reading these messages, and have my own few days of experience with one new eye. Two questions: 1- Is anybody truly happy with one of these...
I am truly happy with my IOL. I *am* having problems with it -- especially at night -- but the negatives of my experience are insignificant compared to the...
Hi, I suspect lots (most) people have had a good experience with ICL/IOLs. A forum like this is going to attract people like me who are having problems. From...
Ami, who is still trying to get added to the group replied with this: "I would assume the surgeon would be centering the lens on the pupil, not the iris, so I...
Ami, who hopefully should be able to post soon, replied with this: I've actually been working on a slightly more detailed account for this group. As far as the...
Back Story: I was six years old when I got my first pair of glasses. Add a speech impediment and general clumsiness to the mix and you can probably get a good...

Hi, I asked my doctor about centering the Verisyse lens on the pupil, and he said that the lens is supposed to be centered in the eye. I've since asked another...
Hi, In preparation for the implantation of Visian lenses in my eyes, I had an iridotomy performed in on both eyes in December 2006. That evening I noticed a...
... I was looking for my iridotomy holes, and couldn't find them. I have no idea where they are, and I cannot find any visual evidence of them. I fully...
Hi, I've uploaded a picture in the "Photos" directory. It is a picture of my Verisyse eye at night. Note, the iridotomy shows up very well under infrared...

Hello all: Thank you so much for starting this group. I've been looking for something like it, and for real-life stories, since I began considering IOL Phakic,...
