Hi, I still consider my eyes a work in progress. I saw the optometrist the other day, and he was able to correct my eyes (with glasses) to 20/25 in my left...
... Are you able to attribute the overcorrection to something? Was there a mistake in their measurements? When they were measuring my eye, it took them a LONG...

For the Visian lens, I would expect to take a number of trips, including 2-3 days overnight for the lenses themselves. All of this depends on the doctor, of...
... After the Visian process, I went back to work the very next day -- a Friday. However, I didn't have close-in vision, so I was pretty useless the first...
First, I think it's great that you are making sure you have a well experienced doctor. I second Michael's advice that you'll probably want to stay overnight ...

Hi, Possibly. My (our) eyes are atypical. The issues I'm having could certainly be related to my high myopia. I don't think there is any diagnostic tool/test...

Hey guys, I'm seriously considering the Visian ICL. I've been to five different surgeons, all agree I'm an excellent candidate. So, here's the thing. I think...
... Well, I personally would NOT do it. However, that said, I am at least somewhat indebted to the people who DID get their eyes done in Mexico: My eye was...
