I was in for my follow up appointment last Wednesday. they actually scheduled this at my one day appt. for my left eye. everything was going so well the doctor...
Congratulations! I bet you're glad to be at the other end of it. And thanks so much for updating us. I think this list is so useful, primarily for people just...
Sadly, I had my iol procedure done several years and, though I was getting horrible night driving problems, Alphagan had come to the rescue and I could use it...
Hi there, ... How many years ago did you have the procedure done ? Did they tell you at that time that you had big pupils and that there was a possibility for...
Unfortunately, I was told that pupil size had nothing to do with the glare phenomenon. I was told many things, but I'll let bygone be bygones, as all I want is...
... Yes, some even say that a large pupil does not give you glare and halos ... I know better. ... Alphagan doesn't constrict more then a certain amount so if...
Alphagan worked wonderfully, only I have developed a severe reaction to it and I can no longer use it. I am trying compounding pharmacies in Australia and New...
... Retinal detachment is a risk of myopia, not necessarily of PIOLs. That is, even if you never have the surgery, your retina is still stretched dangerously...
Hi Everyone, I first posted a few months ago and promised I would report back as my Visian ICL surgery approached. I'm booked to have my right eye done on...
I may have an alternative for you and I hope it helps. I have halos myslelf with one eye dilating more than the other. In order to combat these halos, my...
... My doc did a quick test to determine which was my dominant eye and did that one first. He didn't really give me a choice. ... This does *NOT* work. It...
... I had my right eye (dominant) done first, no choice. the doctor explained he wanted that eye perfect vision before he operated on the other eye. since I am...
Congrats on your decisions. For me I chose my non-dominate eye which is the one I was having all kinds of problems with in my contacts. I wanted to see how my...
I did the nondominant first, but wasn't given a choice. If something screwed up at least it would have been in the nondominant was the thinking. I was fine...
Hi David, It doesn't seem to matter which eye is done first. My doctor did my left, non-dominant eye first (his choice). I was also to wait one week between...
Thanks to all of you who responded to my post from yesterday. I had my doubts about getting away with one lens in my glasses for the next week and it appears...
As promised, here is my update after the implantation of my first Visian TICL in my right eye. The surgery went very smoothly. I was given conscious sedation...
Wow, that IS very exciting, Sounds like you have a similar prescription to mine. I'm curious to know if you receive any nighttime haloing. When I went for a...
So, I'm scheduled for bilateral Visian ICL on the 27th, and I'm still having second thoughts. For those of you who have had the surgery, on a scale of 1-10 how...
Hi, I was very happy with the results, but have severe halos at night and and am unable to drive after dark. I have also had some rare complications, but...
... Um... 11? I'm VERY happy with my outcome. I'm not concerned at all with my long-term effects. I am resigned to eventually getting cataracts and/or a...
I had both eyes done on 1/28/09 and I'm very happy with the results since it is getting better by the week. I'm glad i did it all at once since I was able to...
Dear Fellow Piolusers, Has anyone been diagnosed with pigment dispersion after having a Visian lens inserted? In addition, has anyone had problems with the...
... A solid 10. Was I nervous about my possible outcome ? of course I was that's just human nature to worry before a surgical procedure. In the end I felt...
I would say I'm a 10 on my right eye and a 6-7 on my left, so about an 8 on average. My only issue is halos in the left eye. But the alphagan drops are...
You know I was thinking about this the other day. I had my surgeries October 2007, and I am thankful for every single day of my new sight. I know that...
I had my surgeries in November and December of 2007. I have no side effects other than the YAG lights many on here talk about...but I still need to wear...
I am definitely satisfied with the results of the surgery (just celebrated my 2 year anniversary in February). On a scale of 1-10, I would say a solid 9+....
... Thank you all for the reassurance -- it's so helpful to have honest opinions from PATIENTS. I really appreciate it. I'm leaning towards going through with...
