Hi all- I have been participating in the blog since February (since I went to see a doc about ICL). I am now about to schedule it but I am having conflicts...

I had mine 4 weeks apart and I was fine with a contact in the other eye. You won't be able to use glasses at all during this period. Cj ... -- Chris Fawcett ...
Hi Steph, Congratulations on your decision to have the ICLs implanted. I had my ICLs implanted in March, one week apart. For me, the week between surgeries was...
I went two weeks between surgeries back in January. I wore soft contacts before so I just wore one in my left eye for the two weeks. I had some astigamtism...
I hate to repeat myself, but it must be (re-)said: Staar (Visian) isn't responsible for her/your/our refractive eye care. The doctor is. Staar merely supplies...
Still surprised that bilateral isn't more common by now. All the Southern California docs I saw in Fall 2007 were telling me I'd have to wait a week or two. By...
After much consideration, I am going forward with it and having my first eye done today. This group has been great to hear real life experiences....much...
I have left all the communications with Staar Visian with my doc. After hearing how people have not had much luck with contacting them directly I didn't I...
Good Luck... I hope all goes well. ... first eye done today. This group has been great to hear real life experiences....much better than the medical studies...
Greetings! I am new to the group and am thrilled to have found you! I'm 29, and have used vision correction for the past 22 years! I've worn contact lenses...
I don't have any issues from my iridontomies. I think it's largely dependent on how far your eyelids come down over your eyes. Some people you can see the...
MAKE SURE to NOT close your other eye while they are doing the pi holes!!!!!! I did and that causes the lid to come down a little which I think causes the doc...
You'll be fine! I just had my first eye done yesterday. They did my iridectomy (the one NOT done by a laser) the same time that they do the ICL insert....
I am one of the unlucky few that has had problems from just the iridotomy. I believe the laser nicked a nerve behind my eye. Seeing a specialist to confirm,...
... I had iridectomy performed (so without the YAG laser) during my ICL surgery. I was under anesthesia, so I don't even remember it. No problems generally...
Thank you, everyone! I survived! It wasn't as bad as I imagined, but it wasn't pleasant either. I started crying after the first eye was done; I think my...
So, I'm three months out and have my follow up next week. Still have halos at night, but they've lessened some and my brain has started to ignore them some....
Mine will be done next month, and I'd love to hear others' experiences. What was it like? Were you medicated? What about recovery time? How long before you...
To give a bit of background, I live in the UK and had my first eye done Wednesday so its all still fresh in my mind. They give you a Valium and dilation drops...
Here I am 4 months post surgery. It's still very surreal. I wake up each morning, still having the habit of putting in re-wetting drops. I had my 4 mon...
I've been reading through the posts about haloes... I asked my doctor about them as a possible side effect, and he didn't seem to be too worried. I had my...
... I don't think any of us agrees about this. I had assumed they were caused by the lens. I didn't notice anything that I could attribute to my PI holes, but...
The halos, if you get them, are related to the implanted lens, not the iridotomies. If you notice them now, it's because you had them before and just didn't...
I'm on Istalol, Xibrom, and Lotemax as a pre-surgery regimen. I started using them after my iridotomies on Thursday and will continue until my surgeries on...
I wasn't on any medicine regimen prior to my surgery. But then again I had an iridectomy (not iridotomy...i.e. not laser), and I had the iridectomy just before...
