i have very bad vision. about -16 on my left eye, and -18 on my right. my right eye has also been a lazy eye ever since i was a child, causing me to have a slight case of strabismus and nystagmus there. the nystagmus usually only happens when i close my left eye though. anyway, i've been considering ICL recently and consulted with a few clinics. one clinic is willing to take me in for an examination, but the other clinic outright refused to even examine me simply because i told them i have nystagmus in one eye. apparently they said there's too high a risk of something going wrong if the eye keeps moving even slightly.

Hi Dr Audrey, Good Day if you could give some advice and secondary opinion regarding ICL here My wife have just do ICL surgery 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 , however she 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 . We should expecting since the ICL is Multifocal, this should solve her presbyopia as well. It is still need more time. Thank you. Regards, Leong

@@rainbow20112011It does. In fact in EU many experts perform around 3-4 hours worth of tests on the eye before calculating the exact size, position and strength of the lens. It will correct the combined aberrations of the eye more precisely than any laser could (because it doesn’t rely on any healing distortions). It is much more complicated than just a bare prescription and a formula. Or at least I hope for you that it is the case for the place where you want to do the procedure.

I've been to three ophthalmologists so far and I already know I can't get laser procedures done because of my prescription been too high and my cornea been too thin. That leaves me with ICL. One of the doctors said I should never do ICL even at age 23 because he described it as a trial and error procedure with too high risks whereas two other doctors said it was very safe. I'm now very conflicted.

An individual consultation with an eye surgeon is needed to determine the right type of refractive surgery for each person, as the anatomy of the eye varies among other individuals. I hope this helps.

Also he gives the hope like your vision now is -8.1. while doing ICL, vision improvement is happening partially and later these -8.1 is goes to null with your Contribution of Patching exercise. Is it correct..? But little nervous here. If unfortunately any huge risk is happened then it is possible to recorrect it...? Or it goes to vision loss and blindness..?

Hi Dr Audrey, I m asking for my wife condition which she go for full eye check up , her power keep running and spectacle shop suggested her to see eye specialist. Eye specialist suggest she could either do ICL or cataract only 2 options, ICL need USD7000 for 2 eye .Just narrow down on the cost so expensive and dunno is it her power about 1900 L and 2000 right plus astigmatism 400 also, I m asking anyone got so high power and after do ICL , how is the outcome ? Since she just early 40 not sure is it should do cataract straightaway. As cataract only can do once in lifeline and the side effect probably is during the nighttime she will have halo and glare . Can dr provide some advice.Just next time her version really run she still can perform her cataract. How about vice versa if now she perform the cataract first if next time in future another 20 yearswhere byshe have her cataract issue ? How gonna address this in the future. Thank you Dr.

Sorry I can’t give individualized medical advice on this platform without eye exams. But in general, in the US ICL corrects myopia up to 15D fully and partially up to 20D. There are special considerations for cataract sugery for very high myopia, such as increased risk of retina detachment. It is important to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon about your case specifically. I hope this helps.

Over 1 million ICL lenses have been implanted worldwide, and the Visian ICL has an overall very high satisfaction rate among people who have had the surgery, similar to LASIK and other vision correction methods.
