I can feel how happy you are ☺️ I also had my ICL surgery last Jan 30 2022 and it was the best investment I ever had in my life 🤣 from 1125/750 and 350/300 astigmatism I now have 20/20 vision 🥰
Finally found someone who actually has the same thing as me 😭 i had my ICL surgery month ago but i feel like my brain isn’t believing that i can see well now after 11 years of wearing glasses i feel happy for you!
As a person with perfect eye sight I feel blessed tbh. Idk what it is since I literally am on my laptop or phone for almost 10-14 hours a day for work but somehow I still have perfect 20/20 vision. I feel like I could never live with glasses and if I had nearsightedness I would rather have a surgery.
Being on a laptop or phone doesn't really have much to do with whether or not you develop myopia. Myopia usually develops at a young age due to the eye growing more than was necessary. So, the eye is shaped more like a football than a baseball and it refracts the light to the wrong point in the eye. If you didn't develop nearsightedness as a child, you probably never will. What causes the eyeball to grow too much is genetics and exposure to sunlight. Children who are exposed to an inadequate amount of sunlight are at a much higher risk for myopia. This is why myopia is becoming more and more common as children stay inside for school and for fun. Anyway, almost everyone will develop some degree of presbyopia sometime after age 40. This can be fixed with a surgery or you can just wear reading glasses.
I am so happy for you. I was born with extreme myopia also. I crawled into furniture and walls. I cannot afford the surgery but I am much older so if I develop cataracts insurance will cover most of the cost. No cataracts yet though
Please ask your doctor if you can fix or reduce the halos lights at night you see, if you don't like it you can always remove ICL because it's reversible. I hope you the best and good luck for speedy recovering. Plus to see the near things to see you can get reading glasses.
I don't know you, but I am *so* happy for you! Being able to wake up and see the alarm clock would be amazing! Hopefully your dryness will go away soon though. Eye dryness is such a pain 😬
I am pretty scared for this😵but after you explained everything i think now i can have my icl this month thank you very much for sharing your experience🤗
I have the halos too but mine are only 1-2 directly in the center and it kind of grows or gets larger and comes at me.. if I were to explain it. I don’t see the multiple halos around each light source like you explained here. Just thought I’d share my point of view for others who are reading the comments. It’s not too bad, I’m getting used to it and it’s only when the light hits the eye a certain way and if I decide to focus on it. Other than that it’s amazing that I can see now!
I would never have this done. I like wearing glasses. Helps protect from the elements and splashes etc. I love the protection since I have terrible luck. This seems very extreme surgery.
Depends on the type of safety you are looking for. Wearing contact lenses = the unsafest option of them all. Also guaranteed damage over time. Laser surgery = less precise, will damage the integrity of the cornea, damages nerves in cornea (dry eye risk etc), can’t be repeat as easily or has accumulation of damage if repeated, will mess with HOAs of the cornea and can be problematic if you want to use multifocal lenses later in life after lens exchange. It is however much safer than contact lenses and it is minimally invasive. ICL = it is invasive and you better get it done in a very good clinic where any form of the risk from the surgery itself isn’t relevant. They need to choose the perfect size of the lens. Other than that and the halos of the Aquaport - it has only positives compared to the topics above.
If it wasn't for the halo rings I would consider to try ICL. If I'm gonna pay 6000 bucks=usd then I want to have perfect healthy vision just like I had before with glasses or lenses; glasses doesn't give you dry eyes, glare, or halo problems. Unfortunately the technology is not available yet to get perfect eyesight (20/20 vision) with no side effects. I rather wait to see what the technology in the future has to offer.
Thanks for this video. This is really helpful as someone considering ICL, also in Malaysia. It would also be very helpful to know where you got your procedure done from, if you can tell? So many thanks!
These are the worst kind of comments that you can imagine. No value at all - no context and totally deceiving. The satisfaction rate of ICL is the highest of ALL existing methods. Depending on parameters 97-99% have full satisfaction without any further treatment.
Just got mine on the 16th of June. I'm -11 left and -17 right. My right eye's cornea got swollen so I just saw blurry/nothing for the first week. Today it's a bit better, however, I still can't see that welll (I used to see better with my glasses) but glad the swelling has gone down.
Hello Kev. Its amazing to hear about your success with ICL. I got my ICL done on 29/11/22. A few days back and i have double vision in both eyes. In Low and Bright lights, so I wanted to ask whether your spectacles prescription matched with what was written on the Evo ICL box? My cylindrical power matches, but the spherical and axis values are different. Please reply ASAP. I do have my docs appointment for the same in a few days. I really need some logical consolation. Thanks a lot for your highly infprmative video
It is absolutely normal that the power for ICL is different. It is placed extremely close to the lens - so the correction will be different to that you are used with glasses or normal lenses.
I am getting my ICL done tomorrow. Been wearing glasses for the last 19 years. I am so excited, and nervous. Any tips from your side? Also what was your vision acuity (corrected) before and after the procedure?
@@Unknow5529 the surgery itself was fine. I only got Icl done on my right eye because my left eye’s vision could be corrected by LASIK only, getting it done tomorrow. Though the night of the surgery, I experienced alot of pain (behind my eye to the whole head). The doctor told me it was because of increased eye pressure, and is quite rare.
great that your surgery went fine! for me, I had a throbbing pain in my head/behind my eyes on the first night of the surgery. I slept it off and the next day it was gone. It may take a few days for you to recover, so do rest for a while.
Brother doctor didn't implant the modern lense to your eyes, which is why your near sight is blurry and you see halo effect with ring circle around the eyes. If it's possible to change those lense, I recommend you do this
@@diogoxp It went really well. I can read 6/6 individually and 6/5 without a effort with both eyes. Just make sure your surgeon is best and you trust him.
Thanks so much! Yes I still have floaters...and it still occurs at anytime, especially when I'm looking at a plain background...even the wall or paper. It doesn't seem to go away, but luckily it didn't get worse! I've been having it for a very long time also!
There may be a difference in Quality. Don't go to poor countries. Europe or richer asian countries like Japan are better. Also you need to go again and again for check ups.
Hello! Firstly, congrats on your new vision!! I just did my ICL 3 days back. And my near vision like reading a book of using phone is still blur. May I ask yours took how long to recover for this near vision issue?
Hey there! Congrats on your operation also! For me it took around 3 days to a week for me to adjust reading near things, after that things felt more natural
Hi dear, it's been 12 days since my surgery, but my vision is still not clear and sharp. I consulted the hospital, and they said it will take nearly 15 days to 1 month for improvement. Is this normal? My eye power is SPH -15 with CYL -0.25 in the left eye and SPH -14 with CYL -1.5 in the right eye.
Hey there! Sorry to hear of your issues....I think 1-2 weeks is normal...but then again it depends on the success of the operation procedure and your eye's acceptance of the implanted lens. For me it was ok within a few days and I could see clearly. Do check with your doctor periodically and see what can be done 🙏
I got mine a day before yesterday but my left eye is blurry and my right eye is clear. I'm scared rn and I hope it's normal and my left eye will be clear soon 🤧
Hey there! At night sometimes the vision gets a bit hazy, maybe because of the light refractions. I have to really open my eyes and focus hard so that it's clear... But day time is all good and clear. No issues in daylight!
@@KevsWorld thanks for reply! Overall would you recomend this operation for those who's plan to do it? Im still thinking to do this operation. But ask for you experience.
@@KevsWorld one question, I heard some people complain about the toric ICL shift/rotate a bit in the eye, did this happen to you? Is the chance high? Thanks!
Hey there, I think it would be best to do an ICL compatibility test at the optical clinic with the specialist to determine your eligibility...I had to do one also before I could proceed!
Which eye specialist did you went to? I did my prelims and they said it will costs me ~20k to do the surgery. Fyi, my eye prescriptions are 1025/925 Astigmatism 300/385.
Also they said my anterior chamber (the area they implant the lens) is not big enough to fit in. So my options now is to wear back my bulky glasses and wait for cataracts (maybe in 15 years) to form and do ICL and cataract removal together.
I can relate so much to you as I have been wearing glasses all my life since childhood. I blame it on genetics, I don't even recall doing anything harmful to my eyes like watching tv at a close distance or reading in a dim room.
Hey there! yes, I still have frequent eye dryness when I wake up, and i will reach to use eye drops to moisturise my eyes. Once I have used eye drops, then it is totally fine for the whole day without dryness.
What about your near vision reading capability? Still now you need to keep ur text books at a distance from your eye ? Means very short distance reading is problematic after icl ?
Hey there! I used to put text very near my eyes before ICL.... Now I can't read if it's too near, like it has to be at least 15cm away from eyes. In a way, it becomes very blur if it's too close now....
It gets better Kev. I had problems with adjusting my new eyes from near to far away after the surgery. Was unhappy. But its fine now. I did alot of eye exercises with looking near and far away. There are exercises on youtube. It gets better. I can look cloose at maybe 10 cm from my eyes. Im 28 so my natural lens is still flexible. You will loose close up vision when you are above 40 years old due to natural ageing of the natural lens. You can use reading glasses for close up vision.
Hey there! Congrats on your ICL surgery! I think my recovery was really fast, around 2-3 days and everything was fine and clear. I only had a strong headache directly after the operation, but it subsided after I woke up the next day. Perhaps do rest for a bit and consult your doctor for any concerns!
hey there! my vision was about -11 for both eyes, with high astigmatism also. THEORETICALLY, ICL should be able to correct until 0, or perfect vision. I still have some residual astigmatism leftover which nothing can be done about it...so do consult with the eye doctor before anything else!
My current both eye power 1.5k and I desperately worries about it.. As you know ICL so costly in malaysia. Like me less budget and need to do saving first so are choosing Rgp is right choice?
Hey..i am thinking of getting ICL but i am really worried about night halos and glares...how bad they are in your case and did they get worse or improved with time??
Hey there, it's a big step to do ICL so do consult a doctor first. The night halos are not really that bad....only at night or looking at bright lights. I would say it's like minor 10% distraction. Hmm, I don't think it went away, maybe I just gotten used to it and don't notice it at all. It doesn't affect my night vision at all!
@@KevsWorld does it affect you when using phone or using computer? I am a software engineer and plan to do it, does it become a problem if you work for hours on computer?
@@josephwright4096 You probably have the same advice being advised of the 20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It not only helps prevent the headaches but helps take prevent myopia and astigmatism progression which they are finding is more common after the 20 something cut off age that most studies previously suggested. Excess dryness after ICL is not uncommon and the halo effect diminishes so long as the eyes are kept moist. Long stints at the computer usually cause lower blink rates thanks to how the computer screens/work flow happens. This causes dryness and an increase in halos and contact lens discomfort. ( Hence, why I wear glasses. I don't like them but they are low maintenance compared to contacts and I don't have to apply wetting drops when using them.) Not trying to be accusative here. I work on or near computer screens enough that I am in the same boat, wondering about whether to get ICL or stick with glasses and other contact lens modalities. This new finding of worsening myopia in previously stable age groups is down to a few factors (like genetics which of course we can't change) environment, and lifestyle habits. The last two are the only ones we can control and health gurus prey on that. Hopefully, this reply doesn't get a bunch of "End Myopia" woo that a lot of other eye health channels seem to get. There is a very small basis of truth for a small section of their claims but the underlying methodology of the studies they reference and the care models they reference are not current with our understanding of how eyesight tends to worsen AND how eyes tend to change through the stages of child to middling and later adulthood. To refute briefly some of the claims made by the "End Myopia" accounts, the studies they reference are theoretical models. I.e studies questioning whether different supplements actually present a health benefit to human patients, as many of these research trials are sponsored by multi-vitamin companies without meaningful control groups (meaning there is no way to tell if the treatment or some other outside factors would have caused the same perceived levels of improvement.) The best trials would be a randomized, double-blind study ( so neither the optometrist or patient was sure which treatment or what level of change they should expect.) People's perception of how bad or good their vision is is subjective, even when empirically we can measure that their eye shape has changed, and that therefore their prescription has changed, they will insist that their vision is clear. Supplement and vision therapy gurus of the "End Myopia" group have no control groups given placebos or no therapy and a further reassessment down the line. One of the ironies is that both groups can show progression in their vision improvement or deterioration in essence despite of the fact that they were given something to treat the condition, meaning then, that their was no meaningful (called a significant difference, there are mathematical thresholds in the terminology but I am going to keep it simple.) differences between the treatment and control group. Therefore, we can conclude that taking a supplement had no measurable impact on the outcome of the study, in this case, a patients stabilization or improvement of their vision. Studies looking at supplements are simply meant to be "What if's" for researchers. If something looks promising enough researchers will design double blinded research trials in human patients to see what happens. That last bit, the use of in-vivo, in humans, versus in-vitro, in cell culture, mediums is the critical difference between applicability in study results. Cells in a dish or an animal are rarely comparable to how drugs and other medications react within the bodies own systems. Whenever you see the study results applied to cells in a dish, always ask, "Is this how the product or medication will be used in real life?" and "What other biological systems would either help or hinder the anatomy or physiology of the human body from being impacted by these drugs, items, or products?" The answer is usually both highly technical and complex. Something the "End Myopia" group rarely acknowledges, when it comes to interpreting studies with any nuance. Okay, rant over. Hope you have a lovely day and an easier decision making process when it comes to getting ICL done or not. (And sorry for the spiel, I have a family member in Eye Health and they tell me about the latest and greatest in science and dodgy health practitioners as a way to let off steam. Let's just say having the "All natural" crowd deny their very myopic kids correct vision prescriptions and treatment plans is a HUGE pet peeve.)
Hey there, I definitely could not drive home straight away after the surgery as my eyes were extremely blurry because of the numbing eye drops as well as the sudden addition of contacts into my eyes. Would need to have a designated driver to bring you around for a few days.
if i convert 15000RM to where i am, its on cheaper side. so much cheaper. doctors said mine would be around 26000RM. should i go Malaysia to get procedure done? 🤣😅
@@KevsWorld do you see still see halos, double ring at light when you’re outside, driving Because I drive the car at night a lot , and going for ICL next month. So worried
Bro can a person with myopia more than -9 devolp glucoma cause I have seen that in net it was written that high myopic people devolp glucoma but after seeing you and some other high myopic people I cam to know that only a few people devolp glucoma even when they are 65+ years of age . So can we say that if glucoma happens then it will happen to very old people and all high myopic will not get it
You're glaucoma risk is increased but other lifestyle factors and plain old genetic disposition has more to do with whether or not you develop glaucoma or not. You can still have bad luck and develop it but it's not something you can absolutely avoid the risk for.
Sometime this lens can cause glaucoma due to fluid interference between crystalline lens and anterior part of the eye. Although new models don't need iridotomy to be made in the iris (it was a hole made by a loser yag to improve humourous circulation) the hole may not be enough and glaucoma can occur. Also cataract formation is a concern and can lead to early opacities in the crystalline lens because of the ICL...then you may need cataract surgery sooner than you're supposed to and retinal detachment risk is higher in high young myopic patients (so this consideration has to be taken into account).
@@jorge6856 so do most of high myopic devolp glucoma or very less develop it as I want to avoid it . Also what are the chances to develop glucoma before 65 age
@@katydid5088 my family does not have any diseases like sugar and diabetes. They are healthy. Also if a person has like -7 power and his retina is healthy and he has no problem like blood pressure and diabetes then can that person live his life without having glucoma
Can I ask you if you noticed any more floaters after ICL? I see my floaters in some light conditions. Like when im in a darker room and look out the window and its daylight outside. I see a bunch of floaters. Its better now though after 2 years but some new floaters are permanent. I had ICL in jan 2020
Hey there, I still have floaters even after the surgery. I had it for a long time, but it's only obvious when I look at something bright or a white background
This surgery sometimes causes vitreous detachment which is a liquid into our eye that is close to the retina. When you get this surgery you eye pressure changes dramatically in a short time and then it comes back to normal. This change makes your eye to make king of a move and can make this vitreous gel to move and get separated from the retina and more and more floaters will be visible to you all. That's why I'm asking whether you had floaters before surgery. Thanks!
Hi kev, few months have passed since your surgery, how are you feeling now? I'm also considering this surgery so I'm asking you.Is there any discomfort that still occurs in your eyes
Anyone in Michigan that can help me or give me a boost to get the eye surgery? I haven't got it because when I go to eye exam I get glasses and I don't see well , and if I get the icl I'm afraid I won't see very well .

Hello , could you please tell up where did you have your surgery done ? How much it cost ? Is it a lifetime surgery ? How long it takes
I’m thinking of getting it done in turkey,i live in the uk but it’s £2000 cheaper in turkey, thanks
Congrats! Does your eye floaters bother you when you are outside or when looking at a blank white paper or computer screen?
Thanks so much! Yes I still have floaters...and it still occurs at anytime, especially when I'm looking at a plain background...even the wall or paper. It doesn't seem to go away, but luckily it didn't get worse! I've been having it for a very long time also!
@@KevsWorld so you did have them before surgery, right?
No way for floaters it will be for some times ....
O_O It would be cheaper for me to fly to Malaysia to get it done than get it done here in the US :(
Time is a factor aswell, I went to get assessed today, and since the lenses are custom made there is wait time.
There may be a difference in Quality. Don't go to poor countries. Europe or richer asian countries like Japan are better. Also you need to go again and again for check ups.
Hello! Firstly, congrats on your new vision!! I just did my ICL 3 days back. And my near vision like reading a book of using phone is still blur. May I ask yours took how long to recover for this near vision issue?
Hey there! Congrats on your operation also! For me it took around 3 days to a week for me to adjust reading near things, after that things felt more natural
@@KevsWorld Thanks for sharing your experience:) In the end I needed a re-surgery>< But currently my vision gotten better after the re-surgery!
Great video😊
Hi dear, it's been 12 days since my surgery, but my vision is still not clear and sharp. I consulted the hospital, and they said it will take nearly 15 days to 1 month for improvement. Is this normal? My eye power is SPH -15 with CYL -0.25 in the left eye and SPH -14 with CYL -1.5 in the right eye.
Hey there! Sorry to hear of your issues....I think 1-2 weeks is normal...but then again it depends on the success of the operation procedure and your eye's acceptance of the implanted lens. For me it was ok within a few days and I could see clearly. Do check with your doctor periodically and see what can be done 🙏
I’m in the Midwest and I’m not a candidate for LASIK but could this be a alternative?
I got mine a day before yesterday but my left eye is blurry and my right eye is clear. I'm scared rn and I hope it's normal and my left eye will be clear soon 🤧
Hope all the best for your recovery! 🙏
Hi bro, how is your driving at night after ICL? Everything okay?
Hey there! At night sometimes the vision gets a bit hazy, maybe because of the light refractions. I have to really open my eyes and focus hard so that it's clear...
But day time is all good and clear. No issues in daylight!
@@KevsWorld thanks for reply! Overall would you recomend this operation for those who's plan to do it? Im still thinking to do this operation. But ask for you experience.
Did you get the regular ICL? or toric ICL for astigmatism? Great video, thanks for sharing!
Hey there! I got the toric lenses which have astigmatism, hence it costs more!
@@KevsWorld one question, I heard some people complain about the toric ICL shift/rotate a bit in the eye, did this happen to you? Is the chance high? Thanks!
My glass power is -18 and -20 can i go for icl surgery 😢
Hey there, I think it would be best to do an ICL compatibility test at the optical clinic with the specialist to determine your eligibility...I had to do one also before I could proceed!
Question sir, did you used to drive before the ICP surgery? Did the surgery improved your vision afterwards?
Hey there, yes I have driven for a long time before the surgery, when I was wearing glasses. And now I am still driving after the ICL surgery ☺️
Why don't they do Lasik to remove the residual power
Hey there, sorry for the late reply...my eyes are not eligible for LASIK, hence I could not do LASIK in the first place😅
congrats！
Which eye specialist did you went to? I did my prelims and they said it will costs me ~20k to do the surgery. Fyi, my eye prescriptions are 1025/925 Astigmatism 300/385.
Also they said my anterior chamber (the area they implant the lens) is not big enough to fit in. So my options now is to wear back my bulky glasses and wait for cataracts (maybe in 15 years) to form and do ICL and cataract removal together.
I can relate so much to you as I have been wearing glasses all my life since childhood. I blame it on genetics, I don't even recall doing anything harmful to my eyes like watching tv at a close distance or reading in a dim room.
Hey there! Wow your eyesight is similar to mine previously. I went to KPJ Centre for Sight in PJ Malaysia, it was around RM15 for 2 eyes
Congratulations
May I ask sir what is your eyesight on the chart please is 20/20 now thank you as I’m thinking of having it done I am -9 and -8 with astigmatism of -1
I’m confused. Did you get a replacement crystalen lense? Or are you wearing a contact lense?
Ok. Now I understand.your natural lenses is still there. Just an added contact lense is placed behind the iris. Thx
Ok.I figured it out.thx
@@Fireneedsair Sufficient space has to exist in the "chamber" for a potential patient to qualify for this procedure.
Do u still have dryness?
Please update this video soon, get us informed!
Hey there! yes, I still have frequent eye dryness when I wake up, and i will reach to use eye drops to moisturise my eyes. Once I have used eye drops, then it is totally fine for the whole day without dryness.
@@KevsWorld would you have surgery again?
Did the halo’s ever go away? Sounds to me like the implanted lenses were too small in your case..
Hey there! I think after a while, the halos become less and less noticeable. Not so sure about the lens size 😅
What about your near vision reading capability? Still now you need to keep ur text books at a distance from your eye ? Means very short distance reading is problematic after icl ?
Hey there! I used to put text very near my eyes before ICL.... Now I can't read if it's too near, like it has to be at least 15cm away from eyes. In a way, it becomes very blur if it's too close now....
O then it is normal i think
It gets better Kev. I had problems with adjusting my new eyes from near to far away after the surgery. Was unhappy. But its fine now. I did alot of eye exercises with looking near and far away. There are exercises on youtube.
It gets better.
I can look cloose at maybe 10 cm from my eyes. Im 28 so my natural lens is still flexible. You will loose close up vision when you are above 40 years old due to natural ageing of the natural lens. You can use reading glasses for close up vision.
@@sonartori8752 আপনি কি ICL করিয়েছেন ?
I just got it on June 2nd it’s been 5 days, how long did it take you to feel normal cause right now I feel some minimal headaches
Hey there! Congrats on your ICL surgery! I think my recovery was really fast, around 2-3 days and everything was fine and clear. I only had a strong headache directly after the operation, but it subsided after I woke up the next day. Perhaps do rest for a bit and consult your doctor for any concerns!
Hey, what was your power in both eyes and upto what power can ICL correct the vision?
hey there! my vision was about -11 for both eyes, with high astigmatism also.
THEORETICALLY, ICL should be able to correct until 0, or perfect vision. I still have some residual astigmatism leftover which nothing can be done about it...so do consult with the eye doctor before anything else!
@@KevsWorld oh alright, thank you for replying. I'll keep that in mind! :)
Also what company ICL did you get implanted in your eyes?
You might have to wear glasses with icl to reduce astigmatism
My current both eye power 1.5k and I desperately worries about it.. As you know ICL so costly in malaysia. Like me less budget and need to do saving first so are choosing Rgp is right choice?
How high is your prescription?
Right Eye:
About 1125
Left Eye:
About 1050
And also having astigmatism of 400+
Hey..i am thinking of getting ICL but i am really worried about night halos and glares...how bad they are in your case and did they get worse or improved with time??
Hey there, it's a big step to do ICL so do consult a doctor first. The night halos are not really that bad....only at night or looking at bright lights. I would say it's like minor 10% distraction. Hmm, I don't think it went away, maybe I just gotten used to it and don't notice it at all. It doesn't affect my night vision at all!
@@KevsWorld thank you so much.i had one more question..does that night halos make night driving ( car driving) difficult? Or they don't interfere much
@@KevsWorld does it affect you when using phone or using computer? I am a software engineer and plan to do it, does it become a problem if you work for hours on computer?
@@josephwright4096 You probably have the same advice being advised of the 20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It not only helps prevent the headaches but helps take prevent myopia and astigmatism progression which they are finding is more common after the 20 something cut off age that most studies previously suggested. Excess dryness after ICL is not uncommon and the halo effect diminishes so long as the eyes are kept moist. Long stints at the computer usually cause lower blink rates thanks to how the computer screens/work flow happens. This causes dryness and an increase in halos and contact lens discomfort. ( Hence, why I wear glasses. I don't like them but they are low maintenance compared to contacts and I don't have to apply wetting drops when using them.)
Not trying to be accusative here. I work on or near computer screens enough that I am in the same boat, wondering about whether to get ICL or stick with glasses and other contact lens modalities.
This new finding of worsening myopia in previously stable age groups is down to a few factors (like genetics which of course we can't change) environment, and lifestyle habits. The last two are the only ones we can control and health gurus prey on that.
Hopefully, this reply doesn't get a bunch of "End Myopia" woo that a lot of other eye health channels seem to get. There is a very small basis of truth for a small section of their claims but the underlying methodology of the studies they reference and the care models they reference are not current with our understanding of how eyesight tends to worsen AND how eyes tend to change through the stages of child to middling and later adulthood.
To refute briefly some of the claims made by the "End Myopia" accounts, the studies they reference are theoretical models. I.e studies questioning whether different supplements actually present a health benefit to human patients, as many of these research trials are sponsored by multi-vitamin companies without meaningful control groups (meaning there is no way to tell if the treatment or some other outside factors would have caused the same perceived levels of improvement.) The best trials would be a randomized, double-blind study ( so neither the optometrist or patient was sure which treatment or what level of change they should expect.) People's perception of how bad or good their vision is is subjective, even when empirically we can measure that their eye shape has changed, and that therefore their prescription has changed, they will insist that their vision is clear.
Supplement and vision therapy gurus of the "End Myopia" group have no control groups given placebos or no therapy and a further reassessment down the line. One of the ironies is that both groups can show progression in their vision improvement or deterioration in essence despite of the fact that they were given something to treat the condition, meaning then, that their was no meaningful (called a significant difference, there are mathematical thresholds in the terminology but I am going to keep it simple.) differences between the treatment and control group. Therefore, we can conclude that taking a supplement had no measurable impact on the outcome of the study, in this case, a patients stabilization or improvement of their vision.
Studies looking at supplements are simply meant to be "What if's" for researchers. If something looks promising enough researchers will design double blinded research trials in human patients to see what happens. That last bit, the use of in-vivo, in humans, versus in-vitro, in cell culture, mediums is the critical difference between applicability in study results. Cells in a dish or an animal are rarely comparable to how drugs and other medications react within the bodies own systems. Whenever you see the study results applied to cells in a dish, always ask, "Is this how the product or medication will be used in real life?" and "What other biological systems would either help or hinder the anatomy or physiology of the human body from being impacted by these drugs, items, or products?" The answer is usually both highly technical and complex. Something the "End Myopia" group rarely acknowledges, when it comes to interpreting studies with any nuance.
Okay, rant over.
Hope you have a lovely day and an easier decision making process when it comes to getting ICL done or not. (And sorry for the spiel, I have a family member in Eye Health and they tell me about the latest and greatest in science and dodgy health practitioners as a way to let off steam. Let's just say having the "All natural" crowd deny their very myopic kids correct vision prescriptions and treatment plans is a HUGE pet peeve.)
Could you drive home after ICL right away?
Hey there, I definitely could not drive home straight away after the surgery as my eyes were extremely blurry because of the numbing eye drops as well as the sudden addition of contacts into my eyes. Would need to have a designated driver to bring you around for a few days.
if i convert 15000RM to where i am, its on cheaper side. so much cheaper. doctors said mine would be around 26000RM. should i go Malaysia to get procedure done? 🤣😅
Could you please tell..At what age you have got your icl done

15K MYR for both eyes?
Yes
How's it now
Bro can a person with myopia more than -9 devolp glucoma cause I have seen that in net it was written that high myopic people devolp glucoma but after seeing you and some other high myopic people I cam to know that only a few people devolp glucoma even when they are 65+ years of age . So can we say that if glucoma happens then it will happen to very old people and all high myopic will not get it
You're glaucoma risk is increased but other lifestyle factors and plain old genetic disposition has more to do with whether or not you develop glaucoma or not. You can still have bad luck and develop it but it's not something you can absolutely avoid the risk for.
Sometime this lens can cause glaucoma due to fluid interference between crystalline lens and anterior part of the eye.
Although new models don't need iridotomy to be made in the iris (it was a hole made by a loser yag to improve humourous circulation) the hole may not be enough and glaucoma can occur.
Also cataract formation is a concern and can lead to early opacities in the crystalline lens because of the ICL...then you may need cataract surgery sooner than you're supposed to and retinal detachment risk is higher in high young myopic patients (so this consideration has to be taken into account).
@@jorge6856 so do most of high myopic devolp glucoma or very less develop it as I want to avoid it . Also what are the chances to develop glucoma before 65 age
@@katydid5088 my family does not have any diseases like sugar and diabetes. They are healthy. Also if a person has like -7 power and his retina is healthy and he has no problem like blood pressure and diabetes then can that person live his life without having glucoma

Can I ask you if you noticed any more floaters after ICL?
I see my floaters in some light conditions. Like when im in a darker room and look out the window and its daylight outside. I see a bunch of floaters. Its better now though after 2 years but some new floaters are permanent.
I had ICL in jan 2020
Hey there, I still have floaters even after the surgery. I had it for a long time, but it's only obvious when I look at something bright or a white background
This surgery sometimes causes vitreous detachment which is a liquid into our eye that is close to the retina.
When you get this surgery you eye pressure changes dramatically in a short time and then it comes back to normal.
This change makes your eye to make king of a move and can make this vitreous gel to move and get separated from the retina and more and more floaters will be visible to you all. That's why I'm asking whether you had floaters before surgery.
Thanks!

where u did your surgery?
KPJ Centre for Sight at Petaling Jaya!

Anyone in Michigan that can help me or give me a boost to get the eye surgery? I haven't got it because when I go to eye exam I get glasses and I don't see well , and if I get the icl I'm afraid I won't see very well . I really need that surgery so I can make 6 times the money I make in a week. I make okay money but I can make a lot more if I could see.
