Went Lasik ICL as my vision was on the top end of what regular lasik would fix (-7.5 each eye.)
Ran me 7500 and I was fine the next day.

Yeah, took me about 3-4 weeks to fully adjust. Wore night glasses for a while because my eyes were overly sensitive to nighttime car lights but after that period, it was perfect. Got better than 20/20 vision now.

Just got out from my Postop checkup and already seeing 20/15. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the procedure!

For reference I was a -5.75(right) and -6.50(left)

Get it done bro. Glasses and contacts since I was 8 years old and this feels truly liberating!

Good luck to you though. Hope you don't have the same experience as me.
What are your next steps?

Got it a little over a year ago. Although I am going to have to have my left eye redone. The surgery didn’t fully correct my vision in that eye.

Right eye is 20/15
Left eye is 20/25

Honestly it’s annoying af and can’t wait to get it fixed. Eyes are dryer than they were before. Other than that I love it.
There is no they…

I got it in 2003, eyesight is still 20/15 and haven’t had to go back in for another procedure. Like others have said, I got a lifetime coverage on it.

My ex got it. She had horrible vision and then way better than mine after. And I have pretty good vision.

Few years later now she can't drive at night with out some special anti-glare glasses and my vision is better again

Just spoke with my eye dr about getting PRK. I tried to have it done in 2018 but diabetes is a contraindication. Since getting my blood sugar back to normal my eyesight has gotten better, my astigmatism has reverted, and now I can get PRK or lasik. I'm probably gonna have it done before the end of the year.

PRK is better thn lasik if you box or do martial arts because there's no flap, which can come apart during trauma such as getting punched in the eye.

Yeah, some people see halos after, but that has always been the case for me even with glasses, so I'm not worried about it.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I had it done at 21 years old. Best $3400 I ever spent. I'm 42 now and haven't had any issues other than one eye is 20/15 and the other is 20/20. It doesn't bother me enough to go back and have them try to even it out though.
