Hi guys,

Thanks for the informative thread.. spent quite some time going through all 17 pages. Well all the discussion here seems to be exclusively on lasik, however I see that Vista is also offering Implantable Collamer® Lens / Implantable Contact Lens, which looks like has less risk than a normal Lasik, since they dont cut any tissue out but just add another layer of lens.
The URL is here :

Anybody here have experience with this technology before? Is it better than lasik, same as lasik, or worse? I saw one possible complication is when the two lens collide (the implant and the natural lens) - sounds scary if you are playing paintball or go diving into the high pressure depths of the sea.. (and I do both), and I regularly rub my eyes too..

I'm thinking of doing a prelim check with Vista on Monday..

1 more hypothetical question, imagine you are being offered a chance to do a free lasik surgery, anywhere in the world, regardless of the cost. Where would you choose to do it? UK? Japan? Singapore? Malaysia? Any particular place, clinic or doctor to recommend?

Thank you & Cheers

Sad news.. maybe you can try and get second opinion at Optimax TTDI?

I checked at Vista the Curve also and doctor Aloysius said my eyes are not very suitable for lasik but there are plenty of space for ICL, which is fortunate. (I think he mentioned something like 2.8 is required but I have 3.1).

Unfortunately I have very large pupils > 10mm which will cause noticable halo, glare etc later on..
Still considering whether to go ahead or not!
