It's been a while since I posted, but I did make my decision to move forward with visian implants. (My prescription is about -13 / -14 with an astigmatism...
... move ... from ... hole ... first ... Glad to here it went ok, looking forward to hearing about your surgery. I am not quite as nearsighted and have only...
Hi Lisa: I'm about the same prescription as you (worse in my right eye, geez) with slightly higher astigmatism. I'm having my irodotomy right before...
I am thinking of getting my irodotomy tail end of this year to use my flex healthcare monies, and then doing the surgery next year once the Toric version is...
... Wearing contacts makes your perscription measurements wrong, so you must NOT wear them for at least a week before you are measured for your IOLs. ...
Yeah my doctor said there should not be an issue wearing contacts, but wanted to hear whether anyone actually has worn contacts after the irodotomy for any...
... I think you're pretty much right. In any case, the hole is internal -- figurative miles away from the cornea and the contact lens. ... Well, they got my...
Ha! This would be the reason my voluminous research (obsessive googling) has revealed a number of articles and surgeons speaking about how PIOL is better for...
Don't think that the eye isn't cut into with LASIK. It is, and besides poor screening and glare, flap complications are one of the most common to deal with. ...
Thanks Ami. You make a great point (about LASIK also cutting into the eye). You're a great resource. Hope you are progressing nicely on your book research. I,...
Thanks, Jean :-) I’ve written chapters 1 and 3 and the introduction. Now I’m working on the proposal. And I hate the proposal. It is basically a 20 page...
Hi, Here is an update on my condition. I had the Visian lens replace with a Verisyse lens in my left eye 7 days ago. The experience was relatively good. Pain...
... Yeah, this had a lot to do with my decision. The Visian lens is a single 3mm slit. LASIK required a relatively huge flap, plus the removal of even more...
Hi Jean-- I was a nervous wreck about the irodotomy. I "made" my Dr. agree to give me valium. I've never had valium before, but I knew I would need something...
Hi Chris-- My Dr. said it's fine to wear contacts over the irodotomy. I felt weird about it though... so have been wearing my glasses since Tuesday. Plus,...
Hi Chris-- I have to use the drops for one week. ~~Lisa~~ ... From: "zachandtan" <chrisjo@...> To: piolusers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 9,...
Sounds good Ken, except for the left-side light effects. I hope even that settles down. My big fear is the night vision, so it's good to read of your progress...
Hi, Yes, regarding LASIK. I'll have to do some research, but I think I'll do it (probably sometime next year). I think I'll do my right eye first (my...
Dare I ask what the running total is for your procedures to date? Good to hear that things are looking up for you! -Brad _____ From: piolusers@yahoogroups.com...
Hi, I'd estimate $9,000. I paid full price for each eye, but only the cost of the lens and the cost of the anesthesiologist for the the other two procedures....
Hello: Had the YAG iridectomy done yesterday and experienced fairly significant glare around some lights and in my field of vision last night. Could not drive...
I had the iridectomy , but not with the YAG, but with the other, i forget what it's called.... in april. i had some glare and still do. it improved a tad or...
Hi Jean-- Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. I have had both iridectomies and do not experience what you describe. Sometimes, I see a "smudge", but...
Hi, I am new to the group, and will post separately my story, but I had both iridotomies Sept. 26. I also experience this glare as horizontal smudgy lines low...
I had the glare too, your brain will get use to it and it will diminish. ... From: Jean Thilmany <thilmanyj@...> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 1:31...
Hi, As I mentioned in a previous post, I had my iridotomies about 1 year ago. I can clearly see the light passing through the wholes. Initially, I could see...
... Was your iridotomy done with a laser? I understand it is possible to do it when a tool, but then the holes are larger. There's less chance of them...
