Hello, I am getting the ICL surgery in 2 weeks on my left eye. My right eye will be done in January. Both eyes are not done at the same time with this surgery. I will report my progress to anyone interested?
I am -15 in both eyes. I have been having major problems with contact lenses irritating my corneas over the past year. Doctors in my area have trouble finding a high oxygen lens in my prescription. Add to this the fact that I am so tired of sore, dry, red eyes, messing with all the solutions and cases, and being sooo blind without my lenses or glasses on. I have been wearing contact lenses for 30 years. I am 41 yrs old and healthy. My surgery is scheduled Dec 13th. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in my progress. By the way, I will also need some laser to correct mild astigmatism and I will get that in February.

I have 20/20 with contact lenses and 20/30 with glasses. I ran into a man yesterday who, as luck would have it, had Verisyse on his right eye in Sept with the same surgeon I am going to. Kinda weird. However, he had a detached retina 2 weeks after the surgery. He had a detached retina in his other eye 9 yrs ago so they knew he was at increased risk for uit to happen again. His retinal specialist reattached it and he is fine now. His vision is 20/200 in the eye now and he is getting a litte laser to fix it (astigmatism). I will be doing that also. He said "Would I do it again? In a second." I will see his retinal specialist to be evaluated before my surgery for some peace of mind. I think that is a smart idea. Anyway, I will keep you posted.
