    Thanks for posting about your experience. I am set to go in for the iridotomy procedure tomorrow morning. I think I even have worse eyes than yourself. Otherwise though do you feel happy overall?

    I am now more concerned about the light flares from the iridotomy as I am Asian as well... But, with somewhat larger eyes... -_-

    You're welcome. Good luck!

    I'm extremely happy. My eye issues were getting ridiculous... having the very occasional glare is nothing compared to all the crap I was dealing with before.

    Large eyes are a risk for glare & halos I've heard. Just talk to the doctor about making sure they do the iridotomies under where your eyelids naturally fall. I think that will help a lot. My guess is that the glare would be much worse for me if my eyes were any bigger. Take care!

3+ year update: narrowing vault/space in left eye :(

I went to see my Opthalmologist for my annual check up last week. 20/20 both eyes, which was great to hear, but unfortunately they told me the vault between my natural lens and my ICL on my left eye has narrowed. He said it's natural for the space to narrow as one ages, but that it is not a good thing obviously. However, there's still space -- so nothing to worry about. Just need to monitor annually. Not the greatest news, but nothing I can do right now to worry... Will provide another update next year. Hopefully it won't be worse!

It has been decided: Iridotomy

Reasoning: Like many others, I have decided to begin documenting some of my experiences in my journey toward getting ICLs (Implantable Contact Lenses or Intraocular Collamer Lenses). Felt I should give back after "taking" in all of everyone else's experiences, both good and bad. I too feel that there isn't a lot of information out there about ICL experiences in particular: we're a small population of people, since most choose LASIK or PRK. I'm 31, male, about -6/-7 (ish) in each eye with moderately high astigmatism. Thin corneas, dry eyes, high myopia made me not a candidate for LASIK. My severe dry eye has also lead to corneal abrasions while wearing contacts and so I am no longer allowed to wear contacts either (or else I would consider forgoing refractive surgery completely, given all the risks). Reading about ICL's theoretical reversibility (though it's meant to be permanent unless there is an extenuating circumstance, while the iridotomies are
