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 ...
... they ... Michael, this is exactly what some of us see every night. I even see halos walking down the hallway at work. I've gotten much more used to them,...
If (some cases of) the halos are a serious impediment to driving at night, then maybe the ICL doctors (and your state's department of motor vehicles) should be...
My hypotheses (about drawbacks to making the ICL lens optic larger) are: 1) might require a bigger diameter of injector tube (the 'straw' that they use to...
This is not a problem, Jean. A good ICL patient sees an ophthamologist every year, and they track the endo cell density (can O.D.'s do this?). If it red-lines,...
Hi All, I am interested in having the Visian ICL procedure done. How long do you have to have your contacts out before you can have a consultation or the...
... 1) How long w/o contacts? I was able to get decent measurements after a week without wearing contacts. It was the most miserable week in recent memory. :(...
Hey Monica. I paid $6K total for my Visian ICL and had both eyes done the same day. I also have worn contacts for a VERY long time. I had mine out for about a...
My mistake. Disregard what I said in my last post about having my measurements done after only 4 hours without contacts. I went one week without contacts for...
Monica, Not to confuse you any further, but the replies to this post sound very different from my answers: 1) I had my measurements done like 4 hours after my...
I had to wait two weeks between surgeries too. It was hard, as I couldn't wear contacts (reason I was getting this thing) but it all worked out. My doctor...
Hi Michael, Thanks for your response. I am waiting to set my consultation date but I'll let the group know how it goes. Monica ... long do you have to have...
I had the Visian ICL implanted in my left eye on Monday. My vision is 20/25 right now in that eye :) I don't know about halos as I haven't driven at night...
The younger you are, the more you should be asking the doctors about the histogram of vision change .... i.e., for various age ranges, what percent of myopses...
