You are right. You naturally lose about 5% of your endothelial cells a year as part of the natural aging process. My doctor explained that as part of the FDA...
Hi all. I'm brand new here and I need the advice of people that have had ICL Surgery already. I've been wearing glasses for about 18 years now. I tried...
I had a similar prescription to yours. You don't list your age, but I had my procedure done when I was 30. 1) Are you 100% happy with the outcome of your ICL...
Thanks for the reply Brad. I am 32 years old. A couple more questions for you if you don't mind. So you still think the surgery was worth it to you even...
Hi Jason, Yes, I absolutely feel the surgery was worth it. My overcorrection has changed me from nearsighted to farsighted, so that's what my glasses correct ...
... And when you knock these glasses off the nightstand, you can see well enough to look for them. :) ... Keep in mind that your Glasses, Contact, and ICL...
Hi! To answer your questions... 1.) I had my surgeries done on June 8 and June 22. I'm still healing, but even at that, I'd say I'm 100% satisfied. 2.) My...
Overcorrection? Not bad, at least now you can do that cool business thing where you take of your glasses when your getting serious. I always wanted to do...
1) 99.5%... because my doctor created the little holes in my iris in an unusual way by not puncturing them with lasers but by clipping tiny triangles near the...
... I had exactly the same experience with glasses. In fact, I just couldn't bear to buy another pair and go through it all again. I am very happy with the...
I am very concerned with all of the accounts of people that have halos. It seems like it is the norm and not the exception to have them after ICL surgery. I...
... 1) Keep in mind that, at age 32, you are approximately 10 +/-___ years away from needing reading glasses. 2) Even if you didn't get dead-to-nuts perfect...
... I have slight lens flares if I watch TV in a dark(ish) room, but I knew of their possibility from Mike D.'s experience, and they are incredibly minor....
The reason ICLs aren't "indicated for those over 45" is really just FDA-mandated verbiage that is due to the fact that the FDA studies were all done on people...
I'm really concerned about the halos, glares and double vision problems some people have mentioned. Can you please tell me your experience and is it something...
The reason they don't have endo count guidelines for cataract surgery is because the alternative (to NOT doing the cataract surgery) is blindness, whereas the...
I think most of the people on this list see halos to some degree; whether or not we are a representative sample of all people who have undergone the surgery is...
Well, I'd say 90% reversible. The PI holes will always be with you . . . . and if they are a key source of annoying artifacts, then they're with you for life...
Hi Jason, I am one of the few who have a horrible time with halos in dim lighting and at night. It has been almost one year since my surgery. Sometimes I see...
My doctor provided one year of follow-up care without charge. Six months seems minimal to me. I am glad my doctor provides it because I have needed it and...
PS--I would second the opinion that the folks you are hearing from here are probably not an accurate statistical average. If I had not been seeking help for...
I think Mary Wilson makes a good point! There is a bit of selection bias here in the group for the reason mentioned. The only thing is, I simply don't trust...
Hi- I've only had one eye done so far. I am on my 5th week after surgery (I have 6 weeks between my surgeries - that is abnormal, it just turned out given my...
... I think Mary is correct, people who have had halo problems are more apt to post here than others who have no problems. I am one who does not have any halo...
Do they move locations in your eye as the pupil dialtes and constricts? Are they less likely to be covered by your eyelids when your pupils are very...
And ask the doctor about the REAL limitations of post-ICL Lasik/PRK. Most doctors I interviewed liked to confidently claim that ". . . . and if the ICL...
That was my experience. I asked about the LASIK touch-up that my doctor offered as part of the package deal, but he spoke as if I was being greedy. "You're...
There's no way the lens optic (of today's ICL) is 6.2mm wide. The lens edge maybe. This is why my question #2 goes to such lengths trying to educate the...
It's been about 6 weeks since my right eye surgery and 4 weeks since my left eye surgery. I haven't seen the doctor since the day after my left eye surgery,...
