Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you right away, been busy again. Everything is the same, never called the eye dr. I dont think that I want everything to fast. I would think things should be cleared up by now. I almost wonder if they could have given me the wrong presciption, or possibly something is wrong with the ICL. I guess they could tell if something was wrong with the ICL, by looking at my eye. How would they know if they gave me the wrong presciption? Along with my left eye seeing bigger, the object that I focus on also appears to shift over and up, which I guess makes sense if everything is bigger, but that could be throwing off my perception. Also things appear slightly darker out of my left eye. I found my ICL cards they gave me. My right eye diopter -11.5 (left -16.0) Thnks

Hi Marshall, Thanks for the note. I have been quite busy and without much time to write. So how are things with you? I enjoy receiving your emails regarding the eyes. They are very good indeed. Keep on writing. I wish you a good day. If you have anymore interesting things about LASIK please write to me. I have been reading quite a lot about it, so when I will make a decision will be a conscious one. The long term side effect of this treatment are in a way known now, because there are people that had it done 11 years ago and are fine. Regards. Connie

I’m about 25 mins away from Altoona. My mom, dad and sister all wear contacts/glasses, but none of them had vision close to as bad as mine. The main thing that affects me at work is the bright fluorescent lighting. I don’t know if they would replace the ICL, I’m sure they would tell me that I should atleast wait a year til after the surgery. I might call them tomorrow and see if there are any tests that they can do to see if they can find anything wrong and should I go be checked at the Brookville office (2 hr drive) Thanks - Julie

Doctor said that most people are that way… and maybe I was before and I didn’t notice. But my eye was not blurry like this when I had my contacts in. I can read the same line on the eye chart with each eye but its blurry with my left eye. They keep telling me that I am noticing every little thing because its still new. The ICL surgery got my eyes to 20/40 and 20/30. Then I had the Lasik done which puts me at 20/20-20/25 (I think it depends what room Im in) But I still feel like I should be able to see better and read better. When Im driving and I look at signs, I cant read them as far away as I think I should be able to. I had both my ICLs done at Laurel Eye Clinic in Brookville, PA. My check-ups and LASIK have all been done in Altoona, PA because its much closer…
