      My wife have just do ICL surgery with Vista last week , today is second week .her ICL on 6th April last week with multifocal lense power for short sight , long sight , Astigmatism and Presbyopia power.
      This week is enter her second week of recovery , howevershe still have a very bad vision especially see near object which is very blur. I would like to seek for second opinion. Following week she would need to start back from medical leave and concern if all this side effect still can affected her work moving forward . Thank you.
      How is your experience , between do your ICL is multifocal power or just short sighted and astigmatism?

    Hey, thank you very much for this video and your experience in detail. I am from Germany and getting the ICL in about 3 weeks. My biggest worry is the bad feeling of keeping your eyes open and not be able to blink. There are some experience videos and blogs from people who had the surgery in Germany, but very often they were completely sedated and not awake during the surgery. So these videos didn’t help me a lot. 😅 Now that I’ve heard your experience about being awake while they do it, I am a bit more relaxed. Doesn’t sound bad at all. This was already getting horrible in my thoughts. 🙈 I tried to keep my eyes open for three minutes several times. No chance. 🤣 I am happy to hear that this will be absolutely no problem during the surgery. My prescription is -10/-11 and a bit astigmatism. My eye clinic will give me a pill to relax. I hope this will have the same effect like your infusion. 😂👌🏾 I don’t drink wine either, so might be a nice feeling. 😄

      @Gendarmerie Los Blancos I had the surgery two weeks ago. Everything went well, it was quick and easy and the no-blinking was really no big deal. 😊 Actually it felt like I was blinking, but the doctor said everything is alright and how it’s supposed to be. The most uncomfortable thing was the really light light right in front of the eyes. But it was manageable.
      Unfortunately since last week (one week after surgery) my vision on one eye became very blurry. I went to another doctor because the clinic who put the lenses in is quite far away. He found that my eye pressure is way to high. He gave me different eye drops and pills to take to make the eye pressure go down. Today he checked it again and it’s better, but not as good as it should be. I am now stopping to take the pills and just go with the eye drops, so he can find out if the eye pressure is still go down without the pills. I am a bit sad about this problem, but I hope it will be no big deal.

    Thank you for this video! Looking forward to an update video. I am post op 2 weeks on right eye toric ICL . Had bad eye pain day of operation but resolved after first day. Did not get 20/20 result in that eye. It is still a little blurry. I would guess it might be in the range of correction error but I am going to ask the doctor to make sure the lens is not rotated causing the error. I am post op 1 week on left eye. Had perfect 20/20 in that eye the same day. Had a headache for three days around that eye but no eye pain. Still on the steroid drops. Due for follow up appointment in two to three weeks. I am over 50 and used bifocals. I was extremely nearsighted. I used to be able to see clearly within five inches of my face but I knew in advance I was trading that ability in exchange for the possibility of maybe getting completely rid of thick eyeglasses altogether and just using readers for up close work. I go back to work in two days and hope the mismatch between the strength in the eyes does not give me headaches.

      @@Graysonhouston It's been a little over a month since the final surgery. It has been a HUGE adjustment for me so far. I have been having lots of headaches so it has been a struggle. I am hoping it's just a long healing process combined with eye strain, and will resolve in the next two months. I have glasses again now because I was having far too much blurry vision at distance and close up. Now my distance vision is great with the very minor corrective lenses (for slight residual nearsightedness and astigmatism) and I have bifocals again. I can see without the glasses but I wear them when I want nice crisp vision for driving and being outside (anything beyond 6 feet or so) and when I need to read anything with small print (less than 12 inches away). The good news is I can wear any style of glasses I want now because the lenses are super thin not like my old thick lenses. But for 1 foot to 6 feet I do not wear the glasses at all. Which means most of the time since I am on the computer all day long working. But that has led to what feels like serious eye strain and headaches. I just ordered some blue light blocker glasses from Amazon hoping that will help me with the eye strain from 10 hours a day in front of the PC. One crazy glitch though is the surgeon told me now I have a cataract (cloudy natural lens) in the right eye. I knew there was increased risk of cataracts long term from this procedure but I never expected it to be an instantaneous occurance! I don't know if he just overlooked some cloudiness there during the pre-surgery evaluation or the surgery truly did trigger it. I am probably going to go get a second opinion about it just to have someone else give me an overall evaluation of how I am healing up in a couple of months in addition to seeing my surgeon again. Hopefully the cataract will not progress or only progress slowly. Overall, I am hopeful about feeling I have close to "normal" vision again in the near future without headaches.

      ​@@LadyBovine 1 year and 4 months post op. I am still not 100% adjusted to my new vision reality. The headaches were so bad a year ago that I felt like dying would be better. Surgeon looked at my eyes again and said there was no reason my eyes would be causing headaches. Went to primary care doctor and got an MRI of my brain. He could find no reason in my head for the severe headaches. I looked online for other causes and the only thing I coud find was tight neck muscles might cause the pain I was feeling behind my eyes. Very hard to believe that it is just a coincidence that these horrible headaches started after the surgery. Started doing lots of muscles stretches and using frequent ice packs (several times daily) on my eyes, neck, and head. Also tried muscle relaxers and migrain medicine. Severity and frequency of headaches decreased after that but still not completely gone. Also, not a day goes by that I don't have feeling in or around my eyes such as a brick inside my head on top of my eyes pushing down on them or a heavy cloudy feeling inside my head like I am wearing heavy goggles and my eyes are surrounded by thick cotton. Occassionally this feeling stops and my head feels "normal" but it does not usually laster very long. My vision overall has improved slowly probably due to brain adjusting and it has become a lot more "normal" but it has taken a very long time. I still have the cataract in the right eye and the cloudiness is always there and extremely annoying! I have an appointment with a neuro-opthamologist in two days to see if she has any fresh insight into the whole situation and what the future will be for me. It is nice to not have to wear glasses all the time and I can wear cool sunglasses now. But was it worth the cost and complications? Probably not.

    When you did your pre-operative evaluations, things like checking the number of the endothelial cells on the cornea, retina, anterior segments, did you know if they used UBM (ultrasound microscopy) to check the anterior segments and to determine the size of your ICL? Also, do you mind if you can share the cost of it. I've got multiple quotes, one is 6,500 and another one is about 10,000. Thanks.

      If you can, it's probably better to go to south korea and get these procedures done. The clinics over there do much more of these operations than clinicians in the states do. There's also no need for iridotomy and the entire procedure and follow-up costs about 4-5k for both eyes. Some clinics can also do the procedure the same day as long as you don't have too much astigmatism or need special lens to be ordered. Also, might be a fun trip over to south korea.

    HI, thanks so much for the video. I was looking so badly about personal experiences with this type of surgery. I am - 11 and as I am developing an intolerance to contact lenses I am seriously considering this corrective surgery. I have a question for you and it would be great if you could share your experience. Are the halos so bad that you can't drive at night? I get some halos even with contact lenses but it doesn't impact my ability to drive so wondering whether it could be the same for the ICL. Thanks :-)

      @LadyBovine Před 2 lety +1

      I'm obviously not Grayson, but I had ICLs (v4c/standard size Evo) a week ago, and the halos are not bothering me at all (even from day one). I was prepared for them, and "attitude" about them might matter, but most of the time I either don't notice, or just find them oddly fun to "look" at. They're generally not especially big or bright, and they generally don't bleed much light to disrupt the image. It's much less than a proper camera lens flare, so it's just like an small added effect. Negative night time effect is minor, much less than I ever had with contacts, and much less than you get from just tired/dry eyes with a crappy tear film. Passing cars with bright headlights, on dark roads is way less bothering than I can ever remember for me.

Some light bleed or starburst if it's very dark. Like sometimes if a meeting car is far away on a dark road it can have some slight halo around the lights until it gets closer, things like that. Overall vision is great, still seems stable, and i don't really think about my vision much anymore. I'm very happy.

      Brother stick to your glasses and contacts no matter what anyone says. These surgeries should be used as a last resort to save your vision. I had prk and I have halos and dry eyes 1 year later. Dry eyes are so much worse than you think. I thought it was just drops but it’s not, it means your eyes always feel uncomfortable. People will say it is a 1% risk but that’s bs. And even if it is who cares. When your that 1% it won’t matter how little the risk is.

      Congrats on the surgery! I can’t really focus on things within a couple of inches of my face like I used to.
