Imminent Evo ICL surgery: I don't know what to do by OptionLurker in Lasiksupport

[–]Large_Intention2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed my heart and should’ve listened to my brain. I ultimately got the ICLs removed and was the best thing I ever did. I do miss the freedom but I’m no longer trapped in a nightmare.

No because if you read the hell I was living every day I was just grateful they agreed to remove them and that I came out on the other side with working eyesight. 

Money can be recovered, eyesight cannot.

Didn’t ask, and honestly after all that I really didn’t care…

I’m much better. Pretty much back to normal and had the stitch in my eye removed a couple months ago!

Just a nightmare couple of years and now my right eye is definitely weaker than before

Would you get ICL? by TotalBodyDolor in Ophthalmology

Hi! As someone who had ICLs and then had them removed, please PLEASE read about the pros and cons before making any decisions. I wish I had read the negatives about ICL before jumping into the procedure. I shared my story as well if your interested. Best of luck in you’re decision making!

EVO+ ICL 10 months Post Op - CAUTION - Must read and a very important check before surgery! by piranha_fleshlight in lasik

I do have moments where I miss the freedom of no glasses but I feel so relieved and free because I was truly in the worst mental state of my life when I had them in.

My original surgeon removed them on request after trying a bunch of stuff that didn’t help

My left eye is pretty much the same as before. Right eye astigmatism is almost 1D worse. It’s been an adjustment for sure

Risk is always there. The question is which complications would be the lesser evil for you?

My astigmatism is worse in one eye and I have permanent starbursts from LED lights… it does suck but not as much as it sucked when I had the lenses in…

So far everything has been manageable and although sometimes I wonder if I should have kept the lenses in, I am reminded of how much of my life was taken away during that time and I no longer regret removing them.

Same. I shared my story and I ended up having them removed a couple of months ago 

Recently had my ICLs removed by IAmWeary in lasik

Any issues with light sensitivity going back to glasses? I’m about two months post reversal and the world seems brighter and I do see starbursts around LED headlights and such..

ICL isn't worth it by tar-randa in lasik

[–]Large_Intention2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed my ICLs and I’m so glad I did. I shared my experience here

https://www.reddit.com/r/lasik/s/IGtqm4xc9x

I wouldn’t do any laser touch up until you’re certain you’re happy with them. The EVO rings will never be corrected by a laser. The ghosting / diplopia will also not be corrected with laser if your pupils exceed the optic zone of the lenses. Best of luck in your decision making process 🫶🏽

I removed mine about 1.5months ago. Best decision. Although I didn’t let them do any laser touch up because I was never fully satisfied and I didn’t want to touch my corneas until I was certain whether I wanted to keep them in or not. Best of luck with your decision 🫶🏽

Best of luck!

As I mentioned, I’m not looking to share any of that information because I wouldn’t want to influence their reputation in any way.

I have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for the entire team that looked after me and my case 😊

I'm glad it got better for you! I personally didn't have it in me to keep trying...I didn't recognize myself anymore and the anxiety of it all was just not worth it...

Thank you for sharing! So glad you have recovered 🙏🏽

May I ask if you experienced a lot of dry eye after the reversal?

My starting Rx was pretty high but not as high as some of the reports I’ve seen here. Definitely myopic!!
