I went for an eye examination at Optimax TTDI. Due to my high power, I was only offered to undergo ICL. Has anyone did ICL before? Mind to share your experience and does ICL cause premature cataract?

Is it different from IOL?

I am into 3rd year after IOL in one eye, no problems, excellent vision. Take a look, search "phaco---" on Youtube. It is not cheap and requires a few follow ups for payment but very easy procedure.

Lasik cannot be undone and may leave the eye unsuitable for phaco later if you need it. I don't understand the statement about increasing chances for cataracts, since the lens is removed and replaced with plastic.

European friends decided to do it at home because follow-ups and guarantees are included free for life under their insurance.

i've been thinking of this ICL or phakic IOL before, my eyes myopia is too powerful around >11.0 diopter for each eye(1100 power LOL watch too much dragon ballz). It is very disappointing when i know that i'm not elligible for LASIK.

My thick lenses im wearing is very inconvenient in doing my daily work... you won't enjoy jogging when you busy pushing ur spec up everytime u sweat.... even when i looking down from a high place i developed a kind of height phobia that i scare my lenses drop to the ground....

So ive been thinking to try the ICL for many years...

Anyone know who is the best doc for ICL surgery?? i hope they dont tell me im not elligible for ICL too....

Ur myopia is the same as mine.. I did my eye examination at Optimax TTDI and they told me that I'm only eligible for ICL. It'll cost 15k for both eyes. Very expensive, but it can be paid in installments. I totally understand ur inconvenience.
