Good to see it worked for you. ICL ruined my vision. Even though I got it removed, my vision is horrific. I see severe glares everywhere and there seems to be no fix for this. Just wanted to put it out there that the risks to your vision are huge when doing this surgery.
I'm sorry to hear that man :( Could I ask if you had anything that put you at higher risk of these complications? (like larger pupils). I'm contemplating ICL and :') anxiety!
@@help8745 According to the surgeons, I was not at higher risk at all. Personally, I tell all my loved ones not to believe in the doctor propoganda. This surgery is not as safe as they say it is. My vision is permanently damaged and I think the risk is too great. There's a bunch of us who had bad experiences but doctors don't bother to listen to us. I know this because a doctor's assistant wondered why I removed my ICL when my vision was so good. I've told everyone there that my vision was bad every time I visited but yet they were still inputting lies into their system.
I am getting mine done (Lasik and ICL combo) on Halloween. I'm so nervous about seeing them operate since I'm very squeamish. 😶 I'm glad your surgery went well. Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤
@themagiccrafter was wondering how it went for you?? I'm getting my ICL done tomorrow. I actually was in the operation room today but we had to cancel since I got really bad panic attack. This video from Kevin is helping my anxiety a lot.
Great video. I'm literally going to have the surgery in a couple weeks and didn't know what to expect post surgery. Video helped out a lot!! I can't wait!!
@Sherine Ali I had my EVO Visian ICL on October 4, 2022 and I absolutely love it!! My vision was -10.5 in right eye and -9.5 in left eye. Glare lasted a few days and wore off. I still see halos, but they are getting better each day. Took about 2.5 months for the halos to start getting better, but they were bad at first being that I work 3rd shift and drive at night all the time. I highly recommend it!!
@@htutaung2332 I had the surgery October 2022. I do mechanical engineering as well & took a week off before returning to work. Technically after a couple days you're good to go back. You'll have a light load for a couple weeks to make sure your eyes heal 100%, then you'll be good to go 100% workload
This was so helpful bc im 25, LASIK has pretty bad outcomes for me, and I'm considering ICL!!! Worried about the headaches tho bc I'm already headache prone
Just had my TICL done yesterday, the surgery is scary but painless. But after the surgery the headache is unbearable, the doctor said it is the side effect of the anesthetic. After around 2 hours, the headache is gone. My eyes never hurt tho. My eyes still clearing up, but I can see the vision is getting better today.
Hi all, I had ICL surgery about a year ago and documented the experience along with a few update videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0RJGJqt45Dc.html Unfortunately a few months later the lens in my right eye rotated and I got blurred vision and infection. I documented that as well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-552EJmAUaSE.html The right lens was replaced and everything is back to normal again. Hope my videos help!
@@KessyMar it was easy ☺️ the first day it'll just feel bit weird like theres a lash in your eye, but itll get better. its been 5 months now, its one of the best decisions i took tbh
@@KessyMar dont worry the sedation wont make you feel anything, even after its effect goes it wont be painful, it'll just feel like theres a lash or smth in your eyes and itll go after a day 😊 do ittt you wont regret it!
Hello Kev. Its amazing to hear about your success with ICL. I got my ICL done on 29/11/22. A few days back and i have double vision in both eyes. In Low and Bright lights, so I wanted to ask whether your spectacles prescription matched with what was written on the Evo ICL box? My cylindrical power matches, but the spherical and axis values are different. Please reply ASAP. I do have my docs appointment for the same in a few days. I really need some logical consolation. Thanks a lot for your highly infprmative video
Hey there! Sorry for the late reply...my ICL prescription is different from my glasses ...the ICL is higher than the glasses which helps to correct my eyesight. Hope everything goes well for your appointment!
Hi Mitanshu, May I know what happened after that. I've had my surgery 10days back and I'm experiencing double vision both in low and brigh light environments. I have my appointment with doc in about a week, could you let me if its okay to have it or any action needs to be taken.
@@_ambivert_here Thank God . My doctor suggested me to have LASIK in one eye and ICL in other eye. I had went to the Operation theatre for LASIK. Doctor started the procedure. All of a sudden doctor stopped the surgery and said something went wrong. Will do after a month of healing in the eyes. I was so shocked and worried. Luckly they didn't start the incision so my eyes didn't damage. But for the initial procedures itself I faced rainbow hallows and glares. Its still affecting in night times. I was so disappointed. Because of this I withdraw both the surgery. I would like to tell is be prepared for anything. With the surgery definitely you are prone to side effects. Ask your doubts to your surgeon. Ask for complications and do have a consult with a couple of hospitals. Take care,
thank you for sharing. I had my preliminary examination today. now i am waiting for the Lenses which will come in around 16 weeks. i am kind of nervous^^
@@KessyMar the surgery it self went good and fast. It doesnt hurt. There was only some pressure. I can know see without glases. But i have very dry eyes and i still see rings at night
Hey Kev, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I too have a high myopia and i can related so much with you that its funny. My lenses have been ordered and I think surgery will happen in about 2 weeks (thats what he told me). I kind of have a feeling how it feels seeing through your eyes after wearing contacts a lot, But still, when it comes to eyes (the most sensitive area) it just ticks me away knowing the discomfort I will be having. But I guess it will all be worth it. Quick question, Since the doctors told me there will be a residual power in my left eye, Do you think it is possible to get Lasik after ICL?
Hey there! Hope your ICL surgery has great and went smoothly! It is possible that residual power will still be there even after the ICL. Regarding LASIK after ICL, I am not sure if it possible, it will depend on your eye condition and what the doctor says.... For me, my eyes are not suitable for LASIK to begin with so I have to wear glasses in the future again if my eye power increases 😅
@@KevsWorld Thank you so much for reading my comment and sharing this with me. I will consult with my doctors about this because I myself am not sure if its possible for my eyes to get the lasik. Anyway, The surgery will happen on 4th Jan. But again, Thank you so much!
Hey there! I have residual degree left of 25 and astigamtism of 75 in one of my eyes. It is a really negligible amount and I can still totally see without glasses! it is considered quite ok I guess, since my original prescription was 1100+, or -11.00
Hey there! My eyes weren't red at all! Even after the surgery, it was fine but very blur because of the numbing eye drops...after 1 night it was all ok and fine. No redness 👍
Wait, hold up, how did you become presbyopic after ICL surgery? Is it because you had a high prescription? Let me know please because you are not suppose to become presbyopic after LASIK PRK or SMILE. However, one doctor told me I would, I'm a little confused.
Hey there, right now I can't see really up close like macro things, such as when I used to when I was short sighted....I would say I need at least 8-10cm away from eyes to see near things clearly
Hey there! It depends on your doctor I think...for cataract surgery they do one at a time...but for ICL the procedure it was both eyes on the same day, probably to save trips and it is convenient to do so also!
Hey there! The first step would be to see the nearest eye center and have a consultation to see if you are eligible for ICL. The doctors will do many tests on your eyes to see the condition and eligibility for it ...then from there you will have to decide to proceed or not. Hope this helps!
Hey there! This procedure does not help in preventing your vision from getting worse...it's merely a substitute from wearing glasses or wearing disposable contact lenses. Hence it is vital to keep good eye health after the procedure, and one of the criteria for ICL is stable eyesight that does not get worse. Hope this helps!
Hey there! I started doing physical exercise about 2-3 weeks after my surgery. It depends on what your eye doctor will consult. I think the best is to wait one month.
Hey there, yes I still have eye floaters, it didn't go away even after the surgery. It's only obvious when I look at something bright or white background
Kevs where is your eyes glasses now? Ahm please dont throw it away. Pls . If you had a good heart pls can you give those glassea to me ? Coz my vision so weird. Very blurry.
I am 28. My eyes are really bad.They told me, I probably will have the same issue as you have and the is a chance that my eyes will not be 100% eyesight after the ICL surgery. Mostly because of the astigmatism. My surgery will be in Germany
Hey there, I was 26 when I did the surgery. It is better to wait until your eyesight power stabilises so that it will not increase even after the ICL surgery... probably around age 25 and above, or unless your eye doctor recommends you to do it at age 19.
