I had ICL 13 years ago. My right eye was never right from day one. Vision would change dramatically daily. Some days ok. Some days horrible. Doctor said it was a perfect surgery. No issue. The other eye was amazing. Better than 20/20. They kept my vision good (considering the issue with the one eye) for about 9 years. Then I had to get glasses. So was it worth 9 years of not wearing glasses? Worth the risk? Looking back I don’t think so. I had been wearing glasses for 30 years. I was used to it. And not wearing them for 9 years didn’t really change my quality of life all that much. So I’d recommended seriously considering having an option surgery when it’s not all that life changing.

I just like the way he is making us understand I take my hat to them doctors all over the world for taking great care of the sick and venerable in the world bravo to you all and thank you for all your hard work

Can you please tell us where to find data or evidence that daily disposable contact wearers have a 1 in 1000 chance of losing “2 lines” in a year? I find this to be very interesting and would like to read some more on the subject. It sounds like the risk is being attributed to just wearing contact lenses, not poor handling or improper use?

I've floaters in both my eyes can i undergo this surgery

I think I'll stick with glasses and contacts. I'm around -8 and -9 in my eyes, and almost 40 yrs old. At possibly $4k USD per eye, that will easily pay for glasses and contacts (and eye appointments) for the rest of my life. 🤷🏻

Hello my vision -11 for both eyes with cylindrical power, and I am facing retinal holes issue, so is ICL safe for me or not?

I have cataracts in my left eye and I had Lasik like 22 yrs ago. I am now 51 and my left eye is a little weak like a plus 5 and my right eye has 20/20. Glasses were recommended to me but should i consider ICL to correct it. Thx

Hi next month i am going to doo the icl, -12 is my current number of both sides what are the preventive measure should I take before and after surgery guide me please

Hi 10 days before i had my icl. My right eye is fine but in my left eye i see double images in night like ghost images or shadows of objects. Is that something to worried about??? Please help

Hi Neha . I am also going for this next month.do we need to wear specs even after ICL?

How about uveitis? endophthalmitis? urrets-zavalia syndrome? You just talk about losing lines? That is it?

More misleading marketing from Reinstein. He is playing down the significance of loosing one/two lines. This explanation is extremely misleading as loosing one/two lines BCVA is a terrible loss and can be devastating. If they REALLY wanted to educate the patient they should suggest trying out glasses +1D. NO ONE WILL FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE. It is a common misconception that 20/40 driving standard is fine and he is playing on this. It is actually severely disabling and detrimental to quality of life - just try it before surgery!

Hello and thanks for the nice presentation. I am a women 40 years old came from Erhiopia and lives now in Germany. I am marphan but not much visible and i had -11 in the left eye and -7 in the right eye. I did this opertion a week ago and my eye sees much better friom far but near blurry and reading is also not clear and i already made next apointment for ths right eye on Janury what do you advise me as a professional? And is there xifferent types of lences?

Permanent dry eyes irritation, not fun. Constant use of eye drops. Was it better than glasses for me? I got better quality vision as in no more fish bowl curves, sports. Not great night visionHard to say? 50/50

Wanna tell you all that I had ICL and it ruined my vision by giving me severe glare issues that never went away. Even though the surgeon removed it, I'm still having glare issues. Not worth the money and now I have permanent eye damage.

Sir i am not a contact lenses wearer My specs number is -8D and -2 C and doctor suggested me for icl surgery. Is there any vision loss risk. I am very confused. My surgery is fixed on 2 march. Is there any side effects in long term. Should i done it or drop it??

I have done my ICL 2 weeks ago....now I caan see 6/6....

I’m not sure why, but this guy just isn’t very convincing

Icl was the worst dicision on my life 💔

hes sounding very snooty

People who are very short sited or have high mopia Are guaranteed to have Retina problem s when they reach there 40 s I had this problem.The NHS had to remove both ICL from eyes so they couid operate on the RETINA waste of money.

My contacts are doing fine. Why take the risk? I moved to daily contacts a couple years ago. That was life-changing. Don't mess with your eyes.

Honestly speaking, as a patient, I do need to understand risks that are involved in a procedure . However, as a professional, you need to give me a good recommendation. instead of telling me:" I have told you all the risks and now it is up to you to decide if you want the surgery to be done or not". No ! you need to make a decision for me in this circumstance and willing to take the liability of any outcomes. That is what professionals for.

What is this guy talking ABOUT? This is double speak !

This is bs my aunt is an ophthalmologist and she said contact lens can be compared to cutting the eye open.
