Hey guys, Well, I had the YAG iridotomy in both eyes today. Overall I'm happy with it...no double vision or horizontal line. I have noticed some faint glare ...
Good luck Brad! I also experienced the iridotomy as more painful than anticipated. I described it as feeling exactly what it is: holes lasered in the eyes. It...
Yes, you definately need to take some tylenol before the irodotomy! My Dr gives it in the office while you're getting your drops. I can't imagine having both...
I went in, today, for my 12 month checkup on my Visian ICLs. I had my surgery done in August, so I'm ... um... a little bit late. Still, my checkup went very...
Michael, Glad all is well and thanks again for leading us all to this group. I am finally scheduled to go through the procedure. Plan is as follows - pre-op...
Michael, Thanks for sharing this update. Very interesting information. And I'm glad you're eyes are performing so well. You mentioned the "glaucoma horror...
Sounds like you had a great check up, Michael. The glaucoma horror story was Dr. George, who had an acute IOP spike and ended up needing to go to the ER. It...
This is in response to Chris' post about the astigmatism and the toric lens. I've been meaning to post a follow-up to my own surgeries in late November and mid...
For those of you considering LASIK after a Visian implant, make sure to ask about all the possible repercussions of the procedure. My surgeon would not do...
Matt, Thanks for the heads-up on that. My doctor said he would not recommend the limbal relaxing incisions for correcting anything over 1.5 of astigmtism. I...
Thanks for this Matt. It's good to know why your doctor recommended PRK. Can you let us know when you get to 20/20? Sounds good. ... For those of you...
Well, the right eye was done on Wednesday. The surgery is great for those of us who are impatient; within an hour of the surgery, it was seeing better than my...
Contacts, -6.50 left and -7.50 right. .5 astig left, 1 astig right. Woke up this morning and immediately saw a nice pronounced partial halo effect around an...
This is interesting. I'm guessing your doctor is concerned that the increased pressure of the aqueous humor (fluid) between your cornea and the STAAR lens...
My right eye has had the implant for a week, and the left eye will be implanted first thing tomorrow. So far, I'm very happy with the implant, but the halos...
Hello: Is an 8mm night time pupil dilation abnormal? Did your doctor say you had large pupils? I asked mine about halos and he said that I had a "moderate"...
Had my iridotomies done in both eyes today. No issues other than a headache from the drops they give you to constrict your pupils. They say this allows them...
It's on the large size; most people top out around 6.5mm. I just got back from my 1-day/1-week post-op for both eyes. Right eye is still at 20/30 or 20/25,...
Brad: You are not making me miss the recovery period. No exercise and mild pain and anxiety. But it's over soon enough (about a week I would guess). And my...
That is so cool that your eyesight is better than it ever has been. I'm not sure I could say 'better than ever', but the same as the best I've had. I've always...
Well, better than it's ever been...but I'm still wearing glasses (I still have astigmatism). But I was very high myope and was never corrected to 20/20....So...
... I'm very concerned for you. My Visian implant was pretty much painless. The worst pain was from the eyedrops. Are they monitoring your pressure? What do...
I can't say what the pain in my eye was from, except that they cut into it and crammed an extra lens behind the iris. :-) The pain 36 hours out is very mild,...
Hello I just met with a surgeon to get the full work-up for the Visian ICl which I hope to get implanted in March. However, there is one concern, my...
In my research several months ago, may need to update and refresh it, I found that the Visian actually has more endothelial cell loss than the Verisyse. Which...
Just a quick update now that my eyes are mostly back to normal. I'm seeing significant, large halos in both eyes. Driving around town is fine so long as the...
Brad, Thank you for your update. I'm glad you are seeing well, and that the Alphagan is so helpful for eliminating the halos. Question: what are the risks of...
