:eek: Can you wash your face currently? Got risk of infection now? And any reason why must split the hole cutting and lens insertion?

Ask him. Because it seems really weird, surely it is better to tramautize your eyes once, rather than twice? Maybe its because he wanted to secure you as his patient while your lens are still being custom made... :eek:

another question... since u decided on ICL.
have you thought that your degree may change one day? so changing of lens would be required?

how can degree change?
we are adults not kids

the eyes are already not in a condition to insert the lens after the laser.
the laser already caused the eyes to tear when focusing on the light.

the difference is 5days between the 2 ops.
5days is not even enough to custom make the lens.
its easy to find lasik docs but not ICL docs.
or should i say docs who are specialised in doing ICL.

My friend is told by her friend who is a Lasik Doctor that actually the skill of the doctor is not that important. More important is the equipment that matters! Also doctors usually only sell the part about the pros but often don't like to talk too much about the cons and failure cases.

What do u think? A doctor telling her friend like that...

Anyone who has done lasik or ICL (latest technology of contact lens implant which is preferred by US army)?... please share!

Any talks/forum recently? I want to attend!

Refractive Surgery Outlook: May Feature

No matter what, I believe most people will prefer a skilled and experienced doctor, who will be more likely buy good equipment and use them correctly.

But in the case of ICL, it is almostly completely a manual surgery, skill is very important, you dun want a idiot doctor who will place the lens wrongly, damage your iris, rip apart your cornea at the insertion slits, poke your natural lens until you develop cataracts, etc etc etc

ohh... so its not immediate.. would take some days to adapt?

Of cos. What do you expect?
Its impossible to expect immediate correction.
Even lasik can't do it.
What more ICL.
But ICL gives better result than lasik.
The brain and eyes need to get used to a foreign body- the ICL.

As doc said, vision will sharpen over next few days.
And its true.
Next week follow up doc will test vision again.
