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...
I just had my consultation for Visian ICL. Because I am -17 right eye and -19 left, they would need to do PRK after the implant to achieve 20/20. The other...
Hi Marty, Rather than doing that, look into the Artisan/Verisyse lens. It does go up to the powers that you need, (They can correct vision up to -20) and while...
I have a correction similar to Marty's--but with high astigmatism--and was told at that correction nothing is really going to be perfect. Like they can't fine...
Marty, I have had Visian with a PRK touch-up in one eye. I needed the touch- up because of a slight residual astigmatism in my dominant eye that was keeping...
Well, I had the surgery on Thursday. I am seeing 20/20! It went great! It was SO easy! I am so happy!!!! My vision is just a bit unfocused at times which is...
Congratulations on your surgery! About the glare; I have it too, but mostly in bright light. It is just as you describe, low in the field of vision. When I...
[Moderator: I misplaced this message! I am soooo sorry! I'm usually a whole lot quicker!] Hello All, My name is Rini, 29 years old I am from LA. I got my...
[Moderator: I'm a little nervous about external links -- I generally frown on them. Normally, I'd ask that people just post their information directly....
There is one thing I would recommend adding to your question list. "What back up do you have if there is an emergency or complication after the operation?" ...
Hi all! I've been a lurker on this list for a while now. Last week I finally pulled the trigger: I'm about to get my ICLs inserted starting next week. Left eye...
Kolja, I took a look at your blog, and I just have one comment. The plan to wear glasses between surgeries may not work. I tried it, and it was impossible;...
Yeah, I had actually been wondering about that. I assumed it would just be weird but not impossible. I guess I'll find out if my relatively low prescription...
... Arrrrr, matey! Also ask your doc if you can wear a contact lens in your uncorrected eye. I'm pretty sure someone else on the list did that, and it worked...
A contact lens worked great for me for the week in between. Good luck! -Brad _____ From: piolusers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:piolusers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
That makes sense of course but I was explicitly told not to wear contacts for 1 week before the procedure in each each eye respectively. I forgot to ask why...
... I was told to not wear my contacts for a week before they /measured/ for my lenses, but I didn't think to ask if I could wear one between surgeries. In my...
Nice work, Kolja! For now -- before your ICLs go in -- the $64,000 question is: are you experiencing any visual distortions/artifacts from the YAG Laser...
