I had ICL surgery 20 days ago and I didn't try to see much for the first two days of the surgery and took rest but whenever I opened my eyes, I could see my vision had gone upto 4k from 144 pixels. JUST IN 2 DAYS. WHILE THE RECOVERY PROCESS. It was the best decision of my life. I am so glad that I got rid of my glasses and opted for this surgery as I wasn't eligible for LASIK or SMILE. After a week I started reading and using screen a bit and had a slight headaches for the first time. It went away in 5 days and now I'm living normally and so glad that my eyes are now actually doing what they're supposed to do. I have had halos and glares in first 5 days, they were severe but after 15 days, my brain adapted them and now I can barely notice them. Sometimes after eyedrops, i see fogs, but it goes away when drops get dried out. Overall, it depends on the doctor you've chosen as well as the lens. Totally worth it. I'd recommend it if you've got higher myopia. Thanks for reading!
Got icl done 2 years ago. The best decision of my life. Had glasses since I was in 4th grade, my eyes progressively got worse and worse so decided on icl. Icl is safer than prk and laser. ❤️ I do not regret it AT ALL and could see way more clear the next day after surgery. Recovery was so easy. Process was smooth and my dr that did it was AMAZING! 100% recommend icl over anything!
Just got this procedure done this morning! My prescription prior to appointment was -4.25 in both eyes. They did one eye first then the other in the same appointment. So far results are great and i have a 1 day followup tomorrow to check my eye pressure. I wasnt eligible for lasik because my cornea was too thin and this was the next best option. Short down time and my vision should even even out even more over the next 1-3weeks. I went to sharpevision in seattle and they have 2 other locations in the states. Theyre one of the only US companies whove been doing this procedure for about 10 years. It has been done in europe for a lot longer but our fda is a lot more strict so its still a bit new to the US.
I had ICL surgery last week and it ruined my vision by giving severe glare issues (not talking about the halos which are supposedly "normal"). Surgeon said there was no fix for this other than removing it. Even though I had it removed, my vision is now worse. So this surgery is definitely not safe and wouldn't recommend these risks of permanent eye damage to anyone.
I find your story very unlikely, and if it is indeed true, very stupid. One week is no way near enough to determine wether or not an ICL has been successful since the eye is very much still healing after just one week. I wasn 't even allowed to stop taking my anti inflammatory eyedrops until after THREE weeks, and even then, the eye isn't considered fully healed yet. Glare and halos ARE incredibly normal and pretty much all patients experience those symptoms , especially in the beginning. They can take several months to go away too, especially the halos, and glare is especially common within the first weeks while you're still using the anti inflammatory eyedrops. These contain cortisone which dries out the eye and dry eyes = more glare and foggy vision. Not to mention that you just had your freaking eyeball cut open. The eye is incredibly sensitive, and you are expecting there to be no issues at all after just one week? seriously? did you do zero research? Also, if your surgeon both failed to explain these things to you AND removed it within just one week because the icl 'wasn't working' , that person is a hack and has no idea what they're doing. Nah. I don't think your surgery was a failure. I think you experienced normal symptoms , freaked out, refused to listen to your clinic and then Karened so much that they had no other choice but to remove it. I'm not saying surgery can't fail. Any surgery can fail in any number of ways. However, in this case, I think the failure was you. I too had severe glare issues and foggy vision, and about one week after my surgery my eyes were so dry and stingy that I could barely see ,which had me very worried. Turned out it was my anti inflammatory eyedrops. One day after I lowered the dose, my eyes were so much better.
My left eye is totally blind and my right eye is the only one I have now. I wear very thick glasses and I'm contemplating if I will have this ICL next year.
I'm not completely blind in one eye , but almost, and my working eye was -10 in glasses. I had an ICL 3 weeks ago and so far, things are going ok. I can't 100% say if it was a success yet though because until the eye completely heals, you can't 100% determine the results, but so far so good. The problem with only having one eye is that a lot of clinics will flat out refuse to do this surgery on you. One clinic even said 'no surgeon will ever agree to do this on you', which almost made me give up entierly. What you need to understand is that there are risks. Those risks are slim, but they exist, and if you only have one eye, if something happens to it, it would be much worse than if you had two. You have to fully understand the risks and take 100% responsibility for what might happen. I decided it was worth it to me because I was having more and more issues with lenses and wearing glasses made me handicapped and caused me a lot of issues. If it's worth it for you, however, is up to you. I suggest doing a lot of research and when you find a clinic willing to do this for you, research them too. Look at all the reviews etc.
@@Jazz-gb9lp I feel good. I'm not really having any issues that I can think of. I still see halos around bright lights (I'm expecting this to stay for the rest of my life) but I think my brain has learned to filter them out so unless I'm actively thinking about it, I don't really notice. I'm happy and don't regret anything. At least not so far.
Whether a patient with granular dystrophy is suitable for ICL depends on various factors, including the severity of the condition, the overall health of the eye, and the individual's specific circumstances. You can book a free scan, so we can check and tell you if you are suitable. Please follow the link to book: www.my-iclinic.co.uk/
@@sangsang7448 i think it’s important to remember that most people who have the surgery and are happy with the results don’t bother to write about it online. But those who aren’t ofc wants to «warn» other people.
Hi Timothy, Yes we do both eyes at the same time. If you are interested in ICL you can also read more information here: my-iclinic.co.uk/eye-treatments/icl-eye-surgery/ or if you have any other questions you may get in contact with us via the link and we will be happy to assist you on anything you're curious about.
I did an ICL surgery 1 month ago in my right eye my doctor told me it was oversized and we should replace it with a smaller one I noticed a light line that go up and down as I blink I changed my lens and i still see it. it bothers me a lot I see it every time. has anyone experienced anything like that?
@@filipberan4602 unfortunately yes, every day I get bothered by it, it's clearly because of a procedure called iridotomy which is an opening in the iris. am very angry at my doctor because he didn't tell me about it before I do the ICL surgery. really annoying side effect. anyway ALHAMDULILLAH
and is the line transparent or colored? if I don't focus on it, I don't see her. it is a line that stretches from the right side of the eye to the left along its entire length. but when there is not much light, I can't see her, but when I look in the window or when I'm driving in a car, I can see her. do you have it in one eye or both? I asked the doctors about it and they said it should go away. I have it more on my right eye than my left, a little lower on my left eye but more on my right and I can see it a lot more and did the doctor tell you that you will still see it?
Did you doctor say something about it? Like if it go away or something? good so i have the same problem so I'll hope it goes away or I'll call the doctor and ask him about it. it really bothers me. the family says that I have to get used to it and that it might go away, I'll see.
I underwent icl surgery 20 days back. Now i am having severe headaches and seeing rainbow colurs around bright lights. Doctor has prescribed medication for increased IOP and also suggested for laser iridotomy. Please advise is there any problem with my surgery?
I have exactly the same problem as you I see halos around bright objects because of this hole in the middle My doctor suggested to wait till my brain get used but I don’t believe in miracles
I literally just went through this. Its normal mine healed on its own took a few weeks, my eyes became very light sensitive. Healing perfectly fine now keep sunglasses on in bright rooms and outdoors
I just got it done this morning! I was -4.25 in both eyes. Eyes were blurry for a few hours after my appointment because if the dilation done. But after a nap i woke up to just a bit of foggyness. It says from a week-3weeks my vision will even out but so far so good! Happy with my results
ICL is a great alternative if you are not suitable for Laser Eye Surgery. Many patients don’t meet the requirements for laser refractive procedures because their prescription is too high or they have thin corneas. However, ICL provides them a safe and effective treatment. Please see this link to find out more information on ICL my-iclinic.co.uk/eye-treatments/icl-eye-surgery/ or please do not hessite to contact My-iClinic on 020 8445 8877 to speak to a member of our team about ICL and Keratoconus.
Before undergoing procedures like ICL, it's crucial to assess the stability of the individual's eyesight. This is to ensure that any corrections made during the procedure will be effective in the long term. Anyway, in the event of a major prescription change or the availability of new vision correction options, ICL is completely reversible. Follow the link below for more info and to book a consultation: www.my-iclinic.co.uk/icl#vision_correction
I just got this done three days ago. And only side effects is your gone be a little blind for first few days bc they dilate your eyes but after that your good. This last for ever only until if you ever get something that attacks the eye I forgot what it was called
I am 24 years old. I have high myopic astigmatism. No laser correction is done. I refused phakic lens surgery because of its many disadvantages. I have no headache or burning eyes. I am not at risk for keratoconus; the retina is in good condition; everything is in good condition; there are no stains. I can see well with glasses, and I am happy. I wish everyone a good vision like mine. Don't damage your eyes forever with this surgery. I continue to live with glasses.
Not every one can get lasik. I was looking to get lasik but they said I was to blind and they didn't want to damage my eye tissue. So I had to icl done
