I had my surgery done about a year ago now, shortly after Thanksgiving, and was made to wait one week after the YAG for the first eye, then two weeks between...
... ### Good luck, Josh. I had both of my YAG procedures done on the same day. Ask your doctor about using artificial tears following your YAG. If they agree,...
I should clarify I had my YAG done on the same day. I think that's standard. Nancy, you describe my almost exact same reaction to the YAG. Also stock up on...
An update on my personal situation : I didn't need the extra surgery as the two eyes started to work together again the day before the surgery ! I had a...
Well, I had my iridotomy done yesterday, on both eyes. It was certainly a strange experience. My appointment was at 9 am. When I got there, I first had some...
Another update. The visual abnormality isn't going to be much of a problem. I now really only notice it when I think about it. I also experienced night...

Very helpful site. As I have learned that I am not ideal candidate for Lasik due to high nearsightedness (-13 and -11) so I am now looking at impants. I also...
I can answer the first few ones 1 I was 40 (I'm female). I'm about -11 and -18 (left eye) with high astigmatism) 2. I don't think you can count on any...
... My astigmatism changed after my surgery, but only by about one diopter, and it wasn't bad to begin with. Similar to Jean, though, I think that wearing...
Hi there, ... I was 45 with -13 in both eyes and some astigmatism. ... It is already available here in Europe, Belgium in this case. ... After the surgery the...
As scheduled, I had my procedure done Friday. I'll be honest, I was quite nervous this week leading up to Friday. It took me forever to fall asleep the night...
... A year ago when I was doing initial research on ICLs, all the surgeons were saying they do both eyes seperately, spaced by 1 week. Now, as I'm about to...
... Mine did my eyes spaced by one day, and I think that was just perfect. If they're doing it in one day, that's probably even better. I imagine you've still...
... I think you were special because you were among the very first to have it done in Colorado, and it being your doctors' first USA ICL (aside from his...
My answers: 1. 38 (mine were done 7 months ago) I was -11 and -12. I'm seeing 20/20 nowadays. 3. I have minimal astigmatism, so I can't speak to that. I did...

I went and bought an eye patch yesterday. It helps when I'm not wearing my contact, but I very much dislike the loss of depth perception. We have a Halloween...
Yeah, I should have specified I have no depth perception to begin with (monovision after wearing an eye patch as a child, due to "lazy eye" (I can't think of...
Hello, I got the Visian ICL procedure done in my left eye over a week ago and the right eye 4 days ago. I've had mixed results so far. The anaesthesiologist...
... How did they apply your anesthetic? Did they do a local to the eye itself? My doc used an IV in my hand and possibly some drops, so they didn't have a...
I had drastically different experiences in my eyes also. Everything they did was more painful in my right eye. It's been a year and my right eye is always...
-Oh, and one more thing about pupil size. This one drove me crazy. In fact, I had a total meltdown more than once about it. Bottom line is, some people's...
Well, after posting here a time or two and and doing my homework I am scheduled for my right eye surgery on January 14 and the left on January 28th. I...
I agree 100 percent with what Cathy said. My eyes took longer to heal than has been the experience with other posters. Two weeks before my vision stabilized. I...

Thanks for all your responses. I am going to see my doc at the end of the day. He's going to dilate my eye (which is oh-so-fun). I'm fairly certain that I'm...
My contact lens RX is -14.50 left and -14.00 right. I had a consultation for IOLs, and was seen by a doctor's "surgery technician" (at a well-known center in...
