I have a question for the group. I want to get PIOLs implanted this year but I'm currently pregnant, so I'm waiting until after the baby is born in April....
Another question - has anyone seen any longer-term follow-up studies about the effects on endothelial cell density / cell loss? From the FDA literature it...
... I am not a doctor, but I would assume that your first guess is correct. You'll probably be sedated and dilated during the surgery, and those drugs are...
It is really something that will delay you getting the implants. So sorry to tell you that. Been there and done that myself. The year I intended to get my...
ooooh major bummer!!! my toddler nursed for 22 months too ... guess I'll be in my horrible specs for a couple more years. Thanks so much for the information...
I had almost same situation as Ami (pregnant in 2005 and had to cancel the procedure). Didn't get them until last year as they wouldn't let me until three...
Didn't get to this one yesterday, sorry. Verisyse has been around for a little over 15 years now in Europe at least. The preliminary results are that the...
I recently got the Visian ICL in my right eye over a month ago. My Dr won't be doing the left eye until April. Although I'm overall pleased with the...
When I had my eyes first done I was very conscious that my vision was different to when it was first done. I did find that fine print was different however I...
I too have lost my ability to read small print. Frustrating for sure, but I haven't yet bought any reading glasses. Overall, still very thrilled with the...
... I mentioned it, too, back at message #72 <http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/piolusers/message/72>. I do miss the superhuman close-up vision I used to...
I visited my eye doctor yesterday to evaluate my very dry eyes (trying to get them to a point where they're not so uncomfortable---contacts out of the...
Is your eye doctor the one that would perform the surgery? I would get a second opinion by an ophthalmologist, preferably one who would feel very comfortable...
One tip for dry eyes - take fish oil capsules. This was "prescribed" to me by an opthamologist, and after a couple weeks it really did work. It helped...
I had 2 ALKs, 1 lift and suture, 2 prk's on the left and 1 iol in the right. If i had a lower prescription in the right, I would have went prk definately... ...
Marian, I had Visian implants last spring and a PRK "touch-up" on one eye in December. I have had significant halo problems resulting from the Visian, but no...
Thanks to all of you who responded to my question regarding the pros and cons of PRK vs. PIOL. Unfortunately, I'm already doing all the things suggested to...
I just joined the group. I'm interested in this procedure and would like to ask some questions to people who have undergone it. I have had a very strong...
From what I can tell, you are an excellent candidate for the Visian ICL or Verisyse PIOL. I have large pupils and see full halos at night, but they stopped...
... Your situation sounds VERY similar to mine, even down to the prescription. My suggestion would be to find a doc who does Visian, and check with them to...
I've had the surgery as well (Visian) four months ago and been very happy. Other things besides halos to consider is astigmatism. I'm bad at translating axis,...
Hi, I don't have much advice to add other that what I've already said in past posts. I suspect my sever night vision issues are somewhat unique to me, because...
Thanks All. I appreciate the replies. The only big question I have is endothelial cell loss. I've read the FDA docs and anything else I could find. Here is...
I think the next step for me is to see a surgeon for a consulation. As you can see, I will have a list of questions for him/her. Most people around me don't...
Hello everyone. I am having the VISIAN ICL impant surgery tomorrow morning. I am very nervous, but VERY excited! Everything has fairly well so far. When I had...
... This is a tough request, but can you describe your glare? Other people have reported problems with their PI surgeries. Since this part of the surgery is...
I still am having issues and it has been couple of months since I had the iridotomy. Only having issue with my left eye, which unfortunately is the first eye...
