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...
Hi Kolja: Good luck. Glad you found the list. I also have to chime in about the half glasses. I may as well just have spun around on a tilt-a-whirl for five...
More questions (for future blog entries or here): 1) How long do you have to hold off exercise after either ICL surgery? 2) Did you grill the doctors about...
I had the yag iridotomy in both eyes 5 days ago. I currently see clear lines that move up and down as I look toward light and blink. I was wondering if...
... I didn't have anything like that... or if I did, it was slight enough that I didn't notice. I seem to recall not being able to focus well in the hours...
Hey Shelley! I had my YAG on March 8th of 2008. I had the same thing immediately after my surgery. It's like you are looking through hairs in your line of...
Hi Shelley: I gotta echo Jennifer's post almost exactly. I have the same wavy lines, they are the worst when I'm in a darkish room (like our front room, which...
Hello everyone, Just joined the group, so I've got some catching up to do on the messages already posted, but thought I would say a quick 'hi' and introduce...
Man, this is really putting a burr in my saddle about this technology. I get that there are risks, and I'm willing to cross my fingers on the whole retinal...
Yeah, well despite loving the IOLs I totally agree. Which makes me incredibly worried for the endo cell loss. I mean, if they've already folded up their tent...
No there is no halo producing phenomena. I decided not to get the ICL and I think everyone needs to do their own due diligence when it comes to this. For...
O also in response to Jenny, yes the measuring of your pupil is just looking in a machine in a completely dark room. Make sure your dr. does this!!!! The first...
Well said. I'm not troubled by halos, and I think this surgery was the best thing I've ever done. But halos are a serious problem for some people. If this...
... [###] hoosierjenny, what color are your eyes? I've wondered if eye color plays a role in diameter of the pupil. My eyes are really light blue/green, and...
I notice them, but for some, if you can't drive, it goes beyond noticing. It affects quality of life. I'm perhaps odd in that I had terrible halos with hard...
There is research in other ICLs, in particular a Verisyse/Artisan type that is flexible like the Visian, and a toric version of both. ICLs have been available...
I agree with you Ami. I'm incredibly happy. And when the doctor tells me I'll need to see a retinal specialist every year bc I"m severely myopic, whether or...
I asked about halos before having the surgery, and I was told that they might persist even after the surgery. I just didn't think they'd be worse afterwards....
... One of our members did have the Visian surgery revered, and Verisyse installed instead. I am not troubled by the halos, and I used to not believe they were...
... Well put. I knew that having ICL surgery would not make me just like someone who's had 20/20 vision their entire life. I told myself before going ahead ...
