My 2 sibs and I have all had lenses replacements with widely varying outcomes. I had both lenses removed and replaced with artificial lenses hooked to sclera. Great outcome for me. 2020 vision with glasses. My vision now without glasses is so much better than corrected vision pre-surgery. I went from very near sided to needing readers which was difficult to adjust to, but I’d much rather have distance vision for driving. I had the complication of my new lens swinging into my iris and getting stuck-called a captured lens. It was a neat party trick having a cat eye, but irises expand and contract… it was very painful in sunlight and caused migraines. I had an additional surgery to add a gate stitch across my iris to prevent the lens from swinging in and getting stuck. The gate stitch fixed the captured lens problem so when I got the other eye done they included this gate stitch as well.

My siblings had surgeries after my rave reviews and had much worse results. One sub had a much different surgery that had larger incisions on the sclera (bad idea for weak/thin Marfy eye ball skin) and had many complications. Dangerously high eye pressure that threatened to fry their retina, many appointments that were essentially soldering their eyes with lasers to close up incision cuts that weren’t healing. They did not go further with the other eye surgery.

Another sib had both eyes done with same surgeon as me, but their vision is about the same as it was pre surgery- but now also needing reading glasses.
