That would be an interesting experiment ... (personally the only reason I'm really thinking about this surgery is because I can't wear contacts any more,...
Hello Everyone: I'm a 23 year old male living in Philadelphia and considering the procedure. My contacts are -12 and -11.5. I wanted to know if anyone has had...
Rhianon, my surgeon only does one per eye, at 12 o' clock position at the periphery of the iris, hoping the eyelids would cover it. For most people it would,...
... From what I read, only one iridotomy is needed, but they usually drill two in case one heals or clogs closed. If you have only one, you might need to be a...
The Dr. said not only did he hit the bulls-eye, but he hit the very center of the bulls-eye! I tested 20/20(my lens implant is - 14.5!). I could use some...
Are you having any haloes at night? I am still bothered by that in my right eye and am wondering if perhaps it is a problem with the positioning of that lens....
Congratulations Lisa! That sounds really good. I had a -15 implant. My update is that my vision is still not so good. Not bad, not bad. I would guess if I have...
Lisa, forgot to add I also have that same foreign-body sensation off and on (having it today). As though your contact dried out or you can feel your hard...
I have not been bothered by halos at night at this point. Admittedly, I never liked driving at night and tend not to do it. I did notice the other evening...
Jean-- It sounds like things have improved somewhat from your last post. That is good! It is a HUGE adjustment, isn't it?! My Dr. told me up front that my...
Thank you so much Lisa. I keep freaking out, then calming myself down. I can't wait until Tuesday and the doctor's appointment. I'm okay with wearing a THIN...
Hi, I've been using Alphagan to mitigate my halo/flare problems. It helps by preventing my pupil from dilating completely. Unfortunately, my pupil still...
Hi Ken, I have been using Alphagan P (0.1%) in my right eye for these symptoms at night. I am wondering about the long term safety of these drops. Also, I...
Hello: I was just curious, when you say your implant was -15 is that what your glasses prescription was before you got the procedure? Also how much of...
Hi Troy: I can answer that one. I am (was, but still am I guess) -17 with my right eye in glasses. I don't know for contacts, since I cannot wear them (that...
Jean, I am interested in your research on the limbal relaxing cuts versus the toric ICL. Could you send a few links? I put some money in my Flex Spending...
I had a question for those that have had the surgery. I have read in several threads that your close-up vision is not as good after the surgery. I do a lot...
Hi Chris, It depends how old you are : if you are past 40 and you have perfect distance vision after the surgery it is most likely you will need glasses for...
I had my second eye done yesterday and I can see the computer fine right now. I'm 41 years old and my implants were -14.5 in both eyes. I also had about 1.5...
When talking to my doctor about using Allergan and whether there are other options to control the halos (like Ken, it hasn't been doing as good a job as I...
Does anyone know what the pressure "should" be? Just wondering. Thanks. ~~Lisa~~ ... From: "mwoliveri" <matthewoliveri@...> To: piolusers@yahoogroups.com...
Thanks. I haven't really discussed it with my doctor yet. I go back on the 20th and hope to talk to him about it then. It sounds like a common use for these...
Lisa: I was at the eye doctor the other day and he said my eye pressure was at 26 which was high, but it wasn't high enough to cause alarm. (i went back 2...
... Heh. I'm glad it isn't just me! I picked up one of those magnifier visor things. I have one hell of a time using it, though, because my instinct is to...
... For me, it means that I can no longer focus any closer than 7" to my eye. I have no problems reading books or computer monitors. Things like threading a...
... Go back TODAY and CAREFULLY read the rules for your Flexible Spending Account!! For me, there was a hard limit of $2000, which wouldn't have covered the ...
For those that were confused, though nobody seemed to be, when I wrote about Alphagan yesterday I mistakenly typed Allergan. My apologies... Also, I had a PRK...
I will double check that, but did not see any procedure limits in my plan. I'll also be putting some of my FSA towards my son's braces so should work out. ...
Hi Zach: Heh, my research was just googling that limbal relaxing and then reading every link. But I found several for eye doctors speaking to eye doctors about...
