No issues with hijacking this thread, the question is valid & something I am

Thanks Mary,
Have agreed with my doctor that I will try to correct remaining prescription
with glasses & contacts for a year (if I don't have any issues with contacts).
If the eyes remain stable in that period I will then consider a laser surgery of
some type.

I am yet to find out what the right eye can read but with the pinhole test I
know I read better than I ever had!!!

Will keep you posted thanks for also sharing your experience.

Well thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences it's great to have a place
to go to hear about real experiences.

Thanks,
Giovanna

Hi Rhiannon.

Thanks for the post. Main reasons for replacement was vaulting was not in normal
range and pushing too much against the iris, which result in the degradation of
iris pigmentation if left for too long.
Also experience considerable bad headaches & eye aches when working longs days
on the computer at work.

Thanks,
Giovanna

David,

I also had PRK after Visian to correct some remaining astigmatism.  I believe
that I had a close to optimal experience with PRK, but I did experience much of
what Mary did.  Fortunately, I had absolutely no pain with it- it seems like a
shot in the dark whether you have pain or not.  On the doctor's advice I took
Percocet in advance of any pain to stay ahead of it, and I was fine.

It does take quite a long time for the eye to really clear up- probably 3 to 4
months for me.  And I had to continue the steroid drops for about 4 months,
which I think is standard with PRK.  I only had it done on my dominant eye,
which I think helped me feel better about the whole thing and helped me to be
able to see reasonably clearly while my good eye was healing.

I do still have significant problems with halos- that certainly didn't clear up
afterwards.  But I can still use the Alphagan to control them when necessary.

Obviously you can't know whether your experience will be more like Mary's or
mine, but I'm very happy that I did it.  It was frustrating to have fuzzy vision
for a few months, but I'm very happy now.

Good luck,
Matt

       Mary:



Quick question for you about PRK.  Here's the background: I had Visian ICLs
implanted for nearsightedness several months ago.  I also suffer from fairly
significant astigmatism.  (Before any surgery, it was about 3.00 in the left eye
and 2.00 in the right eye.)  My surgeon's plan was to correct the astigmatism
about 12 weeks after the ICL procedure with limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs).

want to get rid of the remaining astigmatism in the left eye, he can do it with
PRK.



What was your experience with PRK?  Was it a long recovery?  How soon after the
procedure could you see adequately?  Did it worsen your glare and haloes?  (The
ICLs have given me significant haloes at night.)

Mary:

Quick question for you about PRK.  Here's the background: I had Visian ICLs
implanted for nearsightedness several months ago.  I also suffer from fairly
significant astigmatism.  (Before any surgery, it was about 3.00 in the left eye
and 2.00 in the right eye.)  My surgeon's plan was to correct the astigmatism
about 12 weeks after the ICL procedure with limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs). 
Although he has now performed the LRIs twice, I still have significant
astigmatism in the left eye (about 2.00).  (I also still have about 1.00 in the
right eye, but I can live with that.)  The surgeon has now suggested that if I
want to get rid of the remaining astigmatism in the left eye, he can do it with
PRK.

What was your experience with PRK?  Was it a long recovery?  How soon after the
procedure could you see adequately?  Did it worsen your glare and haloes?  (The
ICLs have given me significant haloes at night.)

Dear Giovanna,
Congratulations!! I know it has been a long road for you and I am very happy you
were finally able to get the second eye done and that it is going smoothly.
I had PRK on my right eye for additional correction after I had the Visian lens,
and like you, going in I knew I would need additional correction because the the
most powerful Visian lens wasn`t strong enough. I also wear mild reading glasses
at work.
Best of luck! Keep us posted.  I hope you won`t have halos once you are healed.
Sincerely,
Mary

Subject: [piolusers] UPDATE: Finally Left Eye Done.




























       Hi,

Just a quick update, I finally had the left ICL done on Monday (only one year
after I originally had my right ICL inserted). Day 4 all going well cross
fingers will continue.



Post this surgery things seemed to be healing quicker & have had less pain than
the original & replacement ICL surgeries in my right eye.



All still going well in right eye too, post replacement surgery.

Haven't ventured out at night post Monday's surgery, so don't know how
significant the halos are but I do see faint ones around LED lights if not
enough light in the room.



Waking up in the morning is great, enough though we could not correct my full
vision I am still grateful to be able to read my alarm clock & move around with
no glasses & contacts for the most part around the house.



Hope everyone is still doing good.



Cya,

Giovanna

Giovanna,
 
I'm glad to hear that everything is going well on the left eye.   Hopefully
that one will be a smooth and complication free eye.   It sounds like the
process is almost over!

I forgot, when did you have the replacement surgery in the right eye and why did
you need to get that done?
 
best wishes,
Rhiannon
