I did this surgery for 10 days ago on my left eye I had -16.1
I cant say that I see better than i used to see with my hard contact lenses... so i am not that happy ... its ok that i dont need to use lenses but i would be happy if i could see better.
people think about this. Does it really seem like a good idea to do this to a healthy eye? Please. What happens in 10 years? who will pay to fix this down the road. Dont trust these unethical hacks with your eyes. They do it for profit. Nothing more. Long term side effects are not know. Why take this risk with something as important as your eyes? Vanity.
@EliteDefenseInc Whilst I respect your right to your own thoughts but you also have to respect my own choices as well.
Having marked allergies and not being able to wear contacts anymore, plus the joy of scrabbling round for my glasses every morning this was the perfect solution for me.
I understood the consent and complications. It is not fair to pull out the vanity card not knowing the circumstances that lead to the operation.
@DrGFS so you would take this risk with your eye for what then? Glasses work. They are safe. They can be changed when you eyes change. It just seems like an unnecessary risk. What happens in 10 years? I am very leery on trusting what the guy who selling this says. How many doctors have actually gotten this done? Probably none.
@EliteDefenseInc Well because in my line of work glasses were not possible due to the conditions I worked in. My high script also means that with glasses my field of vision was very limited and the actual glasses were very heavy.
Also with my script being very high with astigmatism I was not a candidate for lasik.
With regards to the risk, yes I know this is a new technology however this is simply a variation of the lenses that are used to treat cataracts.
I had this same procedure performed December of 2008, and have never regretted it. As a matter of fact, to prepare myself for the procedure, I watched this same video multiple times. The most amazing moment was when the Visian lens unfurled and the halo of light above me came into sharp focus. I did not have any sedation or painkillers other than the drop used in my eye.
Better living through science, eh? I've never had a moment's regret!
This is the worst idea in history...I mean what if your prescription changes. Then you have to exstract the thing and go through this all over again.Getting it in is easy with injection, but exstraction what do you cleave the whole top of the eye off to get it out?
Part of the criteria of getting this operation is that you need to have had a stable script for 2 years.
I went into this fully understanding that in the future I am likely to develop the need for reading glasses and if this is the case, and I need a lens change both my natural lens and the injected lens can be removed before the new lens is placed.
I'm getting this surgery on the 8th of December. I have had glasses/contacts my whole life, and I really hope that this surgery allows me to get rid of those. I was told this was a $10,000 surgery. Good thing I'm in the Army and they are paying for all of it.
The way my doctor explained is that this operation is an additive proceedure. I do not loose any of my cornea at all so if it goes wrong they just remove the lens.
With Lasik they shave away the cornea so if there is a mistake there is no way to regrow that lost cornea.
The eye will absorb all those little air bubbles over the first several hours. There's no need to remove all of them. You'll just end up creating more corneal swelling trying to remove them all.
The good thing is that the operation is 100% reversible.
There is no tissue of the eye lost and if you wish to hav them removed it's another operation to take them out. I'm pretty sure it's a bigger operation but no bigger then cateract surgery.
Post op the pain was pretty good, the main thing for me was nausea from having one eye corrected and the other not.
To be honest I don't recall much of the operation. Midaz is great like that! Cost? 4.5K/eye
i recently got told i have an eye infection, probably from wearing my contact lenses. i have ben told to wear glasses until i book an appointment with my doctor. sucks bigtime :(
wow...can you feel that in your eye? do they tend to get dry faster? Does this last for life? And is their any slight risk of blindness like with laser eye surgery? How much is this procedure? Sorry for the massive amount of questions. I'm a contact wearer..and i have been considering Laser eye surgery..until i saw this..first time i herd about it
Wow! I had this done by Dr Versace a month ago and had no idea what the procedure looked like- amazing.... I was awake too- and I didnt remember a whole lot... so thank you so much or posting this! Im getting my other eye done in October sometime.
How long ago did you have this done? Any word of advice? On what to expect etc? Any rpoblems or things to look out for? Other than dryness of the eyes... grr
Thanks for posting this. Now I have a video to show friends and family about my procedure. I got these a year ago and it's probably up there with going to college as good life decisions go.
I'm surprised some posters rule it out based on a couple minutes of queasiness. Seems way safer than the thousands of times I put contacts in my eyes after they could be exposed to who knows what in the environment.
In the USA, the glaucoma issue is resolved by the FDA requirement for iridotomy which ensures the proper flow of aqueous humor. There is a small risk (less than 1%)of cataract formation if the implanted lens touches the natural lens during insertion or if the chamber is not of adequate depth but we have rigorous testing procedures required to lessen that chance.
This is a safe procedure. If it were not, I wouldn't have had it performed on my eyes two years ago.
I understand the person that said they could only watch 3 minutes. I was cringing and WTFing several times! It is not for me.....I will stick with my external lenses!
I had this procedure done just over 2 weeks ago and love it. The cost in US dollars was $3100 per eye, so it was $6000 total, but I've always wanted perfect eyesight. The procedure was painless, but I am experiencing some side effects like itching and discomfort which should go away with time. My eyesight was 20/360 before I had it done, now it's 20/40 on my left eye and 20/20 on my right. They said that that will even improve over time. I think I made the right decision. I love it.
20/360 means that what a normal person can see at 360 feet, they would need to be a 20 feet to see it.
One of the criteria for the lenses is that your script has been stable for a long time.
As you get older it is normal to get long vision, and some people need to add reading glasses. This was all explained to be when I had the operation and I was happy to go ahead.
Can you please tell me where this was done and what the price is for the procedure for both eyes in US dollars? Do you have a phone number where I can call for a consultation? Feel free to private me with this information. Thank you.
Do they do one eye at a time? So you can allow one to heal and then do the other? And you don't remember it, huh? Did you request a copy of the video?! I think it's awesome, and can't wait to have this procedure done. I want to see a video of mine! Will they think I'm mad if I ask?
Nah I was on a bunch of meds and to be honest I dont remember feeling much of anything... The bright light was a little annoying on the second lens tho.
Oh I coulnt even watch the whole thing.......are there any long term side effects? I am sure this was very informative.
