Hey Jean, I've been thinking about you and your frustrating past with finding a prescription. I think it is important when you talk to your doctor that you...
... I'll have to admit that I'm not a big believer in any medicine or treatment that works through the balancing of energies or yin/yang. There just hasn't...
I also found this about glaucoma symptoms on http://www.emedicinehealth.com/glaucoma_overview/page3_em.htm "Other symptoms usually are related to sudden...
Hi, Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope it clears up. If it were me, I'd get a second opinion. If nothing else, a second opinion will give you piece of...
Hi, I figured out how to take very close up pictures with my camera. I've added a new close up photo of my Verisyse eye when it is dilated in the Photo's...
Hi Ami: Thanks for the encouragement. I've definitely decided to bring in a list of questions and concerns when I meet with the surgeon in May. I'm curious as...
Where did you take the picture and what was the lighting like? And how did you take it so close up? Mine is off center a bit too, though I was told before hand...
Hi: Also sorry to hear about this complication. Please let us know what happens at your Wednesday appointment. It is concerning. Do other aspects of the PIOL...
When I shot pictures of my eyes, I used the 'flower' mode built into my camera. Sadly, there's nothing to see of the Visian lens. I'm wondering how Ken did...
... You know, it was actually quite the opposite for me. The surgery seemed so /simple/ that it didn't scare me. It made perfect sense to me. It was just...
Hi Ami, I sat in the dark for a while to get my pupil do dilate. My camera is a relatively inexpensive model (Canon a520), but I read the directions and it...
Hi, I just thought of an idea to minimize glare/halo/edge/flare problems with these lenses. Why not make the non-optical portion of the lens opaque? The...
... I think you've probably got a very strong case for this. I know when you and I talked about it before, I described my glare issues as something similar to...
good idea actually my glares have been reduced. i still see a little double vision but not as bad as earlier. i also bought a pair of night drivig glasses ...
I had two more sutures removed yesterday morning. This gave me the most pronounced improvement of vision since the surgery itself. I can actually see 20/40 now...
How did I choose? I had simply been waiting for a technology that was proven enough and safe enough. I always knew I wanted to fix my eyesight. Oh, and to be...
Hi Everyone.. I am new too this-recent ICL visian implants March 13- 07/and April 3-07. I've been considered legally blind since the age of 5 yrs. now 34. My...
... I've never heard any numbers used to describe the pressure in my eye, but the surgeon was never concerned about it. The under-correction is interesting to...
Hi Libertycatz: So glad to hear about your surgery. I have an appointment in May in Minnesota to hopefully become a candidate. I'm a female, 40, -13 in the ...
Hi, Does anyone know what the actual optical sizes are for the Visian ICL? The documentation just says, "4.9 to 5.8 mm". Even the labeling on the packaging...
Last night, I had a totally bizarre experience. When I stood up after working on the computer, I felt really dizzy. So much so, that I decided to go to bed...
Mike: My sister and brother-in-law recently both experienced this (and they obviously both don't have PIOLs). So your doctor is likely right. Thanks for...
Hi, I just thought I'd mention the drug I use to help me with my night time problems. A drop of Alphagan will cause your pupil to not dilate quite as much. A...
It was one of the five drops I used after surgery, and is one of the last two I'm still on. I was instructed to use that one late afternoon. I suppose that is...
20/30 all by itself! Those are the straight up numbers, but I was already very happy with what I had been seeing. Night vision is somewhat worse, but not...
Hi, I was out walking the dog last night, and did a bit of experimentation with my two eyes (i.e. one has a Visian lens and one has a Verisyse lens). In this...
my glare and halos have been greatly reduced...i guess it takes time. i still see double street lines however. i find that a drop called Blur relief helps a...
I'm suprised you guys have so many problems with halos and night driving. I thought that piols had a low incidence of glare, halos, night driving problems,...
Hi Rob, Most of the time I think you are correct. Most people can see well (day and night) with PIOLs/PICLs. Unfortunately, some of us have problems that can...
