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...
... same ... The script for my glasses, my contacts, and my PIOL are all very different, and this is normal. I asked the 'experts' (heh) at Wikipedia about...
Yes. I have similar correction. I'm -18 or something for glasses. I had hte surgery one year ago. I also had high astigmatism and had that somewhat, but not...
I just remembered something else. I'd see another surgeon. My eyeglasses prescription is, as I said, -18 . And I received a -15 Visian implant. It is lower bc...
... I have not had my surgery yet, I am scheduled for January. my doctor told me he had a patient who was -28.00 he did Visian at 20.00 the highest they go and...
... explained that was where he made the incision between the iris and the white of the eye. It had nothing to do with anesthesia. Mine healed up within a...
Hey everyone, I would like to get everyones thoughts on endothelial cell loss. As i am thinking of having the surgery at age 20/21, should i be concerned about...
... I've had mine for a little over two years, which comes as a bit of a surprise to me! However, I have no idea what my cell loss numbers are. If I find out,...
I think it's something to be aware of and concerned about. I've had mine for only one year and will be getting my cell loss numbers in May. I'm going to stay...
Thanks for your responces, yeah i have found getting a straight answer from doctors is quite a challenge. Research on the net brings mixed results to.:(, it's...
Let's not jump to conclusions: blindness is not the inevitable result. Beyond a certain point, too much endo loss would result in the need for a cornea...
Hi All, It's the night before I have my first Visian lens put in. I ran across this user group a few weeks ago, and am very thankful for the tidbits, other...
My wife recently received the recommendation to seriously look into implantable contact lenses. She is extremely near-sighted, is not a candidate for lasik,...
I believe you have to be certified to perform the Visian surgery. That being said, I don't think you actually have to be a surgeon to perform the surgery. In...
As an update, the first eye went well. After the 1 day checkup I'm seeing a "cloudy 20/25" as I'm still quite dilated. Close-up vision is improving on day 2,...
... Cloudy as in seeing clouds? Or can you just not focus effectively. I didn't see any clouds, but I couldn't read a book my first day, because I couldn't...
Hello, I just had my procedure done 6 weeks ago and I was NOT knocked out. They gave me a sedative initially so that I wouldn't be awake as they injected the...
Cloudy probably isn't the right word, but as in not focusing. I was told that this would improve. Something that I have been seeing is this, when I walk for...
... Yes, in my case it did. My doc called it 'corneal swelling', which is something I note they asked about in my Visian surveys. ... I recall that! If I...
It's funny because I wasn't given the option to be put under. They wanted me to be awake so that if they needed me to, I would move my eyes. They did ask me at...
I definitely had the ray of light Jim. In my case, and likely yours, it was due to the dilation. When my eyes "went down" so did the rays of light. The light...
My wife had her preliminary screening yesterday. We found it very informative and helpful. I decided i should pass on some of the things we learned as they may...
