Will the EVO ICL ever be approved for hyperopia?

I’m in the uk where ICL has been approved for hyperopia for years now, but the latest EVO lens is only approved for myopia. Reading a few posts on here is a bit worried about the iriditomy and glares, which I’ve read the EVO lens reduces. My question is - are there plans to approve the EVO lens for hyperopia? Or is there a functional reason why it’s not approved and never will be (I.e the anatomy of a hyperopic eye renders it unsuitable) submitted by /u/hellooiyaaa [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

PRK 2 months after Accutane?

LASIK MD told me I should wait at least 2 months before getting PRK. I did Accutane for 8 months, 2 months being on the lower 10mg dose. I see everyone talking about waiting six months (including my dermatologist) but sadly I don’t have the option to wait this long. What will happen if I do get the surgery 2 months after? Is it really that bad? I didn’t have any complications relating to Accutane except flaky lips, I didn’t even do any eye drops. The longest I could wait would probably be like, 2.5 months or 3 months from now but nothing further. submitted by /u/duolingoh [visit reddit] [com ..read more

6 months after Trans-PRK...

I had my PRK surgery last year September to finally get rid of my glasses. Prescription was -4 on the left and -5 on the right eye including astigmatism. The procedure went fine and took only a couple of minutes. As for everyone the first 3 days are horrible, blurry vision and lots of pain. Luckily they gave me painkiller drops. On the fourth day the bandage lense was removed and the eyes checked. The vision was still blurry so I couldn't see much even up close. Otherwise the eyes were fine. During the following 2 weeks (I took 3 weeks off), my vision got better, but starbursts and halos neve ..read more

What are some good and safe activities after PRK to combat boredom?

I am getting PRK surgery on Tuesday and am worries I'll be bored out of my mind pretty soon, what are some good and safe activities i can do for the first few days/weeks post surgery? Is 2-3 days of no screens a real no go, or safe if i limit consumption? Might be a little bit stupid but could a potential time pass be a big Lego set? or would this cause too much eye strain? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/666Dragon1 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Do I need to be careful about sexual activity while recovering from surgery?

Just to preface this: not a troll, please, just save me from having to ask my doctor a terribly awkward question! I have ICL surgery scheduled. I know there is a certain period of time where you should refrain from heavy exercise. I assume this is both to avoid accidental damage to the eye, as well as to avoid pressure increases while things are still very new/not yet stable inside the eye. Now the awkward question: I am a woman, and women often can have, uh, quite intense physical reactions during “fun” times. Blood most definitely rushes to my face during that “peak moment”, my partner can ..read more

So i am very keen to have lasik or prk eye surgery. But the optician is discouraging me since i mention to him i am unable to close my other eye at night which he diagnosed as lagopthalmos. He is now referring me to an occuplastic surgeon? Is it worth it to undergo lasik or prk if u have lagopthalmos? Or doni treat lagopthalmos first with surgery before lasik? submitted by /u/Environmental_State8 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone! Like many in this sub, I did a ton of reading on other peoples experiences with their PRK surgery and recovery timeline. I thought I’d do my part and contribute my experience here as well to help others who are on the fence Background: 30 yrs old and have been a long time contact lens user (20+ years so wearing correctional eyewear) with a high myopia prescription (-7.50 in both eyes with very slight astigmatism in one eye). I rarely wore glasses, usually only before bed after lenses were removed. Prior to surgery: I chose the Casey Eye Institute in Portland and was scheduled ..read more

1 month update - hyperopia Femtolasik

Hi all, here’s my 1 month update on hyperopia (+5/+4.5) femtolasik Original post here https://www.reddit.com/r/lasik/s/y3CFJms1x8 For the first few weeks I had a fair amount of blurryness (due to dryness) The last 10 days or so this has improved drastically. Blurryness is minimal, when it comes it’s weaker than before and shorter. Still starburst etc at night, but it doesn’t really bother me. White text on dark background has improved too, or I have accustomed to it, difficult to say. There’s a lot of moments I even forgot I had lasik. Will try to make an update after appointment with surgeon ..read more
