It's been 3 years since my eye surgery. So hard to believe! Looking back, I'm definitely glad that I decided to go through with ICL (implantable corrective lenses). However, it wasn't all easy. It was a full fledged surgery on each eye, which required multiple trips to the outpatient hospital. There was also a slight complication in my left eye, what I have come to call a "glare spot" in one eye. I had 2 follow-up surgeries to try to remedy the issue, but it was decided that it was just the way the corrective lens interacts with my eyeball. So, I had to choose to have another surgery to take the lens out again or leave it in. I choose to leave it in and I'm so glad that I did. It's leaps and bounds better than wearing glasses/contacts again. I've also learned to deal with the glare spot. One day when there's a step change in the implantable lens technology I may decide to try again.
On my last eye test, I was still seeing 20/20!
