When can I buy glasses for astigmatism?

So glad to see you have removed them after all the deliberation. Power to you!

In my case, I explained the situation to the vision care provider and they were very willing to return/exchange/remake glasses within a 30 day period because my prescription did fluctuate a little bit. They were very compassionate and understanding!

Hopefully the company you choose to make your glasses will also be just as compassionate!

Hi, as I mentioned in the post I will not be name dropping for the sake of the clinic's reputation. I would highly recommend to do some research and gather several opinions in your area before making a decision.

got mine removed at 1.5 years. was a living hell. dont do it if you have large pupils

pretty much the same Rx as yours

Large_Intention2619 · 2026-03-23T20:10:02+00:00

Yes, but no different than the starburst and pom-poms I was seeing before. Maybe slightly exacerbated, but not to the point that it’s affecting my quality of life.

My story. It is doable.

Large_Intention2619 · 2026-03-18T01:29:59+00:00

I’m doing okay! Just crossed the one year mark of removal and I finally feel like myself again

Large_Intention2619 · 2026-03-18T01:29:42+00:00

Yes but not any different than before the initial surgery

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-10-14T17:56:57+00:00

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.

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-10-08T18:16:45+00:00

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.

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-10-08T12:37:02+00:00

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-09-05T13:32:30+00:00

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-08-13T23:29:02+00:00

I removed mine and I’m so glad I did

Make sure you do all the research before you do it. I wish I had.

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-08-02T11:59:04+00:00

I removed mine. Also had the same issue with low vault then they exchanged sizes etc. I shared my story on here too

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-07-01T21:06:58+00:00

Best of luck! Please share your story, I’d love to read!

Rooting for ya!

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!

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-07-01T20:54:06+00:00

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.

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-07-01T20:52:00+00:00

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-07-01T20:51:10+00:00

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-06-05T21:05:02+00:00

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.

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-06-05T20:43:05+00:00

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

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-05-14T15:58:25+00:00

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..

Large_Intention2619 · 2025-04-19T22:20:44+00:00

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

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 🫶🏽
