Thank you so much! This video got me out of so much stress and discomfort. I am also seeing ring lights, and my astigmatism is not one totally even after the ICL and I thought the surgery has not worked for my eyes but after watching this video i felt relief cause maybe that’s how it is for every patients. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing your experience., I had my ICL surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital and haven’t experienced the halo lights yet but it seems to be a common thing. I read all the documentation on risks just before my surgery and got freaked out by that side effect amongst other things!
I think to achieve the 🤭 missing 5% ~ 10% of clarity you need to do a LASIK, I've watched another guy saying it, he also did ICL surgery. But you can try a simple approach for a while wearing reading glasses +1 or +2 while you work on your computer, after few minutes it will sharpen your vision.. If not, just discard it. 😅 The reading glasses uses the same fundamental of "Kubota Glasses", myopic defocus (stimulating eye to work a little to clear the blur).
Thank you for making videos of your ICL journey! My eyes weren't suitable for laser surgery. I stumbled across your videos when I was doing my research on ICL and your video definitely made me more certain about getting ICL. Will have my surgery in two months and I'm super excited to see my results.
if you are eligible for CONTOURA, SMILE, or LASIK laser procedures, go for it. contoura is best among them you could even get supervision with no halos and glare shit that I have been facing since one month of ICL. 1 out of 6 people according to doctor Dr. sanjay Chaudhary has a HALOS(ring light) issue and you have to live with that. I was eligible for laser but on edge, so I opt for ICL. But from what I see on the internet no one has any problem with ICL, that's why I chose this procedure. Should have gone for a SMILE laser procedure. Let's see whether my brain learns to handle Halos within the next few months or not.
@@jj1androidjo624 i am good but no improvement in halos though. It has been 2.5 months since icl provedure. I am adopting to this new normal, now it bothers me lesser. I think it will take 6-12 months for me to adopt completely. I have noticed little glare in low lightning but that's very minimal that it doesn't bother me. There is no other complications so far.
@theDragon andhisGrandmother sorry for disappointing you but the place where i live, stargazing is not possible becoz of pollution. I am from delhi, india. But if i get the opportunity i will get back to u here.
@@faizan346 I had my ICL surgery a few days ago. I wasn't eligable for laser procedures so ICL was my only option. I also experience some halos, it's not too bad but I also hope in the next few weeks/months my brain will get used to it and learns to ignore them.
I was going to have ICL surgery but developed debilitating glare in my vision from the pre-op iridotomy. Not something that gets talked about very often but it can happen. I think there's a version of the ICL that doesn't require an iridotomy but provides a different quality of vision.
@@monsterzero9456 I don't think it's necessarily worse, but the lens has a hole in the middle of it (which is what eliminates the need for iridotomy) and I believe it is what creates the ring lights Kev talks about. Getting an iridotomy and the regular ICL does not typically cause the ring lights, but getting the EVO lens does cause those lights. That is my understanding.
@@DramasAddict4Lifebut the question is how frequent they are. And when people are constantly reporting that the keep seing halos all the time at night while the advertisement claims perfect night vision... well something is off.
Hey you can get rid of eye floaters and cataracts with MSM eye drops. Also, eye pressure is highly affected by hormones. We def need to make sure we are balanced there based on age and natural born gender. I hpe this helps someone.
I had ICL surgery in 2008 at a private hospital in London. It has been excellent so far but I have developed Cataract in my left eye & I will have to have surgery within next 2 months.
Has your prescription stabilized since getting ICL and any changes since? Is there a concern of having to replace the lenses if there is a change? And do you know if your floaters were caused by a vitreous detachment? If so, do you need to worry about suffering from a retinal detachment in the future?
From my understanding, there isn't added risk of retinal detachment when having ICL surgery. I think you are confusing with cataract surgery. ICLs rarely have to be replaced. Only when he needs reading glasses will he have the choice of changing although by then most people accept wearing glasses. I'm curious to know how it is like to clean the eyes on a daily basis or washing the face since I myself would be worried about perhaps moving the ICL although I doubt that is easy to do.
Hey there! My prescription has somewhat stabilised after the surgery....as in there is no increase in eye power or astigmatism, hence there is no need to change or replace the lenses. My floaters have been there since I was a child ..so I'm not sure what is the cause, but I do not think it's vitreous/retinal detachment.
@@KingEutony Hey. I got ICLs 2,5 month ago. You can wash your face as usual, as you do before the surgery. You can‘t move the lense, because it’s INSIDE the eye.
@@Julesishappy Hey, I recently had IPCL surgery ( similar to ICL) and just like ICL , its inside the eye. I am having dry eyes and feel itchy near the eyelashes, I really want to rub my eyes so rid of the itching, is it really okay to do that?
@@adwaitshirodkar4127 Rubbing the eye intensively is not good for the eyes with or without the lenses. I suggest to try eye drops for dry eyes. You can get them in a drugstore or pharmacy without prescription. Use them several times a day or whenever your eyes gets itchy. If that doesn’t help, I would suggest to visit the clinic that did your surgery. But rubbing the eye lightly is no problem. You can’t move the lenses.
Your videos are very informative thank you ☺️ Can I ask, when you wake up is your vision blurry too? I got my eye surgery 15days ago and it's blurry everytime I wake up it takes 2-5minutes to adjust. 15 days in I am 15/20:: 1. I can read things from a distance but does have to distance my phone/books from my face to read it. 2. I see ring lights. 3. Astigmatism when my eyes are tired. 4. No eye dryness. Leaving this comment here to get back after a month/6 months to see if I got better or worse.
Hey there, congrats on your ICL! It does take some time to get used to it...for me, when I wake up there is a slight blurriness, as the eyes are adjusting after being closed for the whole night...I think in a few minutes it is clear and then fine after. Do ask your doctor if you have any issues!
Is it a interocular collamer lense, I had this surgery a week ago, the vision is blurry and not clear, but at various times in the day the vision becomes clear. Will this get better as time goes on?
Hey there, mine was the Implantable Collamer Lens, and it was clear within a few days... Hope your doctor could provide a solution to the blurriness...I heard sometimes it could be due to misalignment of the lens during the surgery 😮
Bro this whole halo thing has really spooked me. How do people even avoid this? Like not see something they’re seeing? I play fps at night with lights off on my laptop, will there be halos on my screen? Are you constantly reminded of the halos while walking or driving at night? Can you explain to me how its not that big of a deal really? Is the clarity the same at night if we ignore the halos?
Hey there, after a while, the halos does not become that obvious anymore...and probably it has reduced in terms of its effects in my eye. It's kinda like how you get used to seeing your long eyelashes or nose in front of you 🤣 for me it does but pose a problem in daily life
@@KevsWorld do you play any games? Or watch something on screen at night with lights off? Do halos come when you are focusing on something or some part of your screen?
@@deep_zNo. Screens can‘t produce those. Especially since you are looking directly at them. The halos are produced by point light sources that are at an specific angle to your eye (light is scattered from the central aqua port of the lens)
Hi! How long did it took for you to see 'perfect'? (I had my ICL done exactly one week ago & my left eye has still a blurry vision when I look at things farder away from me, that eye is also more irritated than the other, and I'm worrying a lot now)
@@shreyasdaniel1787 They fixed it but my left ICL is still undercorrected, so I’m really not happy with it at the moment. I have a check up next month & I’m hoping that they gonna put a new ICL in my left eye
Hey there! The ring lights are not so prominent now....I think only if I'm in a very dark place and looking into bright lights, such as street lights at night. Still tolerable
Hello Man! I did icl implant in 1 eye recently. How long did it take for you to no longer perceive the rings around the lights? Or rather, after how long did you no longer pay attention to these? At night for me it is a real disaster currently.
Hey there, hope you are doing well after your surgery! I have gotten used to the ring lights probably after a few months until I do not notice them that much anymore 🤣
Hey there, these are my previous eyesight data ► Right Eye: Sph -11.25 Cyl -4.50 AX12 PD 31.5 Left Eye: Sph -10.50 Cyl -4.5 AX172 PD 31.5 You could go for an assessment test to see whether your eyesight is eligible for ICL :D
@@anastasijamalinovska6299 not really, I’ve got to get glasses ,I’ve had them checked here and they said that they’ve done a good job but they would have put a different lens inn , thanks
Hey I've been checking out your videos regarding ICL, and I've been planning to get one. Can you share which medical center you went to get this surgery? Thank you so much, your videos have been helpful!
I got my icl done like two months ago and the halos are still there like you said but I have been experiencing blur vision like i don’t know how to explain it, it’s not exactly blur like the objects are clear but is see blurr cloudy like outline outside the objects did you experience anything like this. I experience this only when working in a dim light area or during dawn when I have not turned my room lights on.
Bro after one month of icl, I am facing ghosting and at night when I see street light the light appears to be scattered a lil bit and also i feel some liquid layed below my eyes..... Is it normal will I recover from all these?? PLEASE answer bro... Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Bro I have been facing HALOS when there is a bright light source around my vision which makes me feel unpleasant. it has been one month nothing has changed. but according to my doctor, it's normal and my eyes will adapt. But none seems to know when. Can you tell siddhant how is your condition now? Did you also get it done from eye7 delhi under dr. sanjay chaudhary?
@@siddhantsagar3512 I got my icl done one month back, I still see that light scatterrings and ghosting (double vision) in my right eye. Are you still facing the same?
Hi i did ICL on last month still now I'm having irritation in my eyes like how if we use contact lens more than eight hours.in laptop letters are blurr for me
They didn't for me. I see them all the time at night especially. I'm a night owl so I've actually been close to tears a couple of times because I find it so disturbing.
@Buzz Darkmatter Yeah they gave my left eye full power my right eye They made near sighted which i'm not happy with so I might get that redone at high powered
@@kata9258 was this because of your high power ? So that you would still be able to read up close without having to get reading glasses ? I’m at -14.50 with -4.50 astigmatism, I have my consult tomorrow and concerned they might be recommend they same with a less power correction on one eye so that I can see up close still.
@@monsterzero9456 I do!!! But because my astigmatism is so high the lenses are still super thick on the edges. Like 1/2” thick and these are their heat index lenses.
You see ring light! Ok fair enough but can you wear like a glasses just for lighting? Or you cannot? Not prescription glasses but glasses for light bloom! Let me know thank you🙏🙏🙏
Hey there! I have not heard any glasses for right light from my doctor...it's probably a thing you have to live with 😅 but it's not as bad as it look, you get used to it and it don't even notice it anymore over time. Does not affect my vision at all.
I did ICL and I have to say it's not worth it and I wouldn't recommend it. The technology is just not there yet. They don't even compare to regular contact lenses. And I've developed frequent headaches because of them. Night vision is absolutely terrible as well.
How about the ring light ? Even I too have done icl surgery recently it's been 2 months now. My vision is good but there is a little power due to high power. Otherwise it is ok I can see. But I can see ring light for the bulbs or car head light so it's not gone yet.
Hey there! I can't really see super close up anymore, which is the opposite of my vision last time where I could see super close....the nearest I can see now is like 10cm away
Usually very near sighted people don’t actually know what natural focus distances of a human eye are. When you are nearsighted, your focus distance is shifted much nearer than would be normal with „perfect vision“. So when your eyes are corrected - you will lose the very close focus distance that you had without glasses.
Hi there! After the surgery you should stay away from heavy weights for about 2 weeks...that's what my doctor told me. After that, I could lift weights and do physical activities like normal. Do clarify further with your eye doctor for more information!
Hey there! There are pros and cons to ICL that are different to LASIK...for me I am not eligible for LASIK so I have no choice for ICL...if I was eligible, I would have chosen LASIK haha.
go for contoura or other laser operations if you are eligible. Honestly, I regret that I opt for ICL also, I have it done in Delhi my hometown under dr Sanjay Choudhary most experienced in ICL procedure in the globe. you can get the same vision that you get with your glasses. 6/9 with glasses would still remain 6/9 after ICl. So generally you can easily get 6/6 if you are getting it with glasses. But the reason I regret is that I have been seeing Halos when there is a bright light source in the peripheral vision of my eyes, which is super irritating for me. I could have done laser operation like SMILE or LASIK or Contoura, But my power was on edge for contoura and I didn't try older laser operation techniques like smile and LASIK(as they can handle a little higher number than contoura) so I went for ICL.
laser is much better if you are eligible than ICl. even better if you could have Contoura procedure done on your eyes. as it is the latest and can get you supervision. 2/3 of people get it.
@ULTIMATE god X yes i still see them, but somehow my brain got wired to ignore them. It took me 3 months. It varies person to person. Stop comparing what u had b4 to get comfortable with it sooner. And for the glare, i didn't have much problem with it as it depends on pupil size.
