I went back on t=4hours, t=1day, t=1week, and t=1month. The doctor also scheduled a 6-month appointment as a mid-year checkup, though he said that was...
Hi, The TICL has been approved in Canada since June of 2005. Any Canadian Opthamologist who implants the TICL has to go through the same rigorous training that...
I recommend asking your doctor this question. My doctor said he likes to follow patients for one year. But if for work reasons, it is not possible to see...
Hi, With regards to the vaulting the main issue with me is that is it touching the iris, so getting it exhanged is a prevention act. At my last check up in Jan...
Hi, Is it touching the iris all of the time? Or just part of the time (like when you run)? Do you have to pay the original cost of the initial surgery again...
I would prefer to have it done in the US, since I'd have some peace of mind and it would be alot less of a hassle not having to locate a surgeon in Canada....
Having a lesser prescription doesn't rule you out for ICLs, it's just that the surgery has more significant risks than refractive procedures. For most patients...
Hi, Yes it is touching the iris all the time, hence left over a long period of time it will most likely cause damage to the iris pigmentation. I will not need...
... I like you have some minor halos in low light conditions like you describe. they are not bad and don't bother my driving at night or anything else. at my...
Hi Giovanna, Thanks for the update. I have pigment dispersion in both eye, but particularly in one eye more than the other. The doctors think it is from the...
Went in for my appt...everything is settling in nicely. I think I have a 300 micron (?) vault in the left eye or something but nothing of concern. Pressure was...
Hi. I had the visian implanted april 2007. I had been tested immediately after the operation at 20/15. I saw a decrease in vision in 1 year to about 20/30....
... Yes, you're probably old enough to be not be getting any more myopic. However, now you're probably getting into presbyopia[1]. However, that should only...
well i did go see my normal eye doctor and he told me that i might be getting some myopia because of my job. i am a computer support engineer and am glued to...
I'm having the same issue. There is a noticeable difference between my left eye which has become worse than my right eye, although I believe both have...
When does this feeling go away? I'm 11 days post-op, and my eyes feel strained/tired. I've got the sensation of something alternately pulling and pushing on my...
... I'm not sure when this feeling goes away. Sometime in the last two years, I stopped feeling the 'foreign object' feeling. But I recall it being very...
... It's mainly around colored lights (red, green, etc.) and not so much around white lights. There's a full circle and then a separate slightly curved line...
I found my eyes felt much better once I was off the steroid eye drops. Definitely keep using the artificial tears on a regular basis. It sounds like you are...
I had the foreign object feeling in my right eye for what I think was weeks. I kept pushing the doctor about it, and he finally said I had blepharitis, which...
Thanks, everyone. I'm 2 weeks post-op now. My eyes felt a lot better yesterday and didn't bother me at all, so that's good. Hopefully. that continues. I just...
Has anyone tried using pilocarpine to reduce halo and glare at night? Alphagan no longer works for me and I read some literature saying that pilocarpine can...
Mary, I discussed exactly what you described with my doctors when I was having severe trouble with the halos due to overuse of Alphagan. We ended up deciding...
Hello, I've been using Pilocarpine as needed for the 2 years since my surgery. It works very well for about 4 hours at a time. The dosage is at such a low...
I have been using both Pilocarpine & now Combigan. I was using Pilocarpine for a while and it worked great, which was a God send as my halos at the time were...
Hi Rody, I get extremely blurry vision from the pilocarpine. I can`t read anything, including street signs after using it. The blurriness gets better after...
I saw the doctor again today and was 20/20 in both eyes!! At that distance, I can make out the "N" on the eye chart, but it sometimes looks like an H....
I followed up with Visian and this is what they said about repositioning. By the way, the search feature on the discussion group doesn't seem to be working,...
Hi, I have one more question related to replacing the Visian lens with a different size. I am still considering this option. I am frustrating because I have...
