QUOTE(Killerjeff88 @ Mar 10 2016, 03:36 PM) Hi mind sharing the experience from how u came to deciding to do ICL until the current u after surgery? I visited a eye specialist and was advised to do ICL as well. Would like to hear more stories before deciding. ICL is a safer but more expensive procedure in comparison with laser as the lense is removable in case there is a need too. The overall procedure tool about 10 mins for one eye and there is no pain at all. The recovery of vision is also fast, as I am able to see clearly after just a couple of hours. I am not sure about laser but for ICL the contrast in seeing thing is much sharper and it improve my night vision. I have very high astigmatism so driving at night used to give me problem. The only side effect I observe so far is occasional dryness in the eye when I stared at pc for too long. The rest is OK. Done steamboat, bbq, swim and anything with the ICL and no issue at all

Of course the power of correction need to be taken into account too. For mine, my cornea has sharp tip so not suitable for it as it increase chances of complication. That'd why I go for ICL and thus far no regret.

QUOTE(HandsomeLai @ Jun 4 2012, 01:12 PM) 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.... ICL in general has higher eligibility. I also opted to do ICL after I was told I couldn't do laser. You can try vista at the curve. Look for doctor Alan. He is good and thorough

QUOTE(Killerjeff88 @ Mar 14 2016, 09:20 AM) thanks for the input. I guess the only problem is the price for the procedure.  Yes Jeff. It took me extended time to think about it. But overall, I am satisfied with it and no regret.
