Is Icl Better Than Lasik
Ophthalmology – Replacement Lens – Crystalens and Restor?
I'm 59 and do not have cataracts. However, I have a lazy eye correction that needs more than you can get on glasses or Lasik. I'm looking at replacement lenses, similar to cataract procedures. Two brands are Crystalens and Restor. Which is better? What is cheaper? Http: / / www.crystalens.com / UC / CESK.htm http://www.laserforeyes.com/restor.html I also found information about ICL implantable contact lens. Apparently, this is not recommended for anyone over 60 and is only available in Britain.
I am close to your position, but a few years younger one, and Rx is an average of -8.50 and -12.50 DS. Why Restor Crystlens or …? A comparative table below, but now I have the intention competely avoid multifocal implants and implants to obtain single vision in each eye, adjusting the distance. My personal choice, but I consider that the risk of night glare and loss of contrast sensitivity is not worth it, confrontation of having to use reading / computer glasses, which still may be necessary at times with multifocal anyway. But I'm a picky myopic model and manufacturer. "… Careful patient selection is vital. Patients should have multifocal implants in both eyes, have to accept some minor halo / glare at night, and about 20 percent of patients may require glasses for reading light or visual functions how to read, print telephone directories in low light or removing splinters. patient expectation levels must match what technology can offer. "If you has a lazy eye with better acuity poor, consider carefully whether you are a good candidate for a multifocal lens replacement.

I would check out this site http://www.asklasikdocs.com. There are excellent opthamologists on this site who specialize in laser surgery. You can post a question and they will be sure to get back to you!! I had custom intralase (Blade free lasik)done six months ago and I am pleased with the results. You really have to do your research about this elective surgery and ensure you find a well respected surgeon in the field who has performed thousands of operations. Good Luck
P.S My surgery was done in Canada.

No, an enhancement will only make it worse. You may want to see an ophthalmologist who can put a lacrimal plug in your eye. It is completely painless and stops the tears from flushing. Think of your eye as a sink. Tears are made from the upper lid and drain through the lower. If you stop the drainage then tears will stay for the needed amount of time. And for artificial tear drops they are only affective for 30-60 mins so for them to keep you comfortable you will need to put them in that frequently.

20′s is fine. A friend of ours had it at 22, another at 25, one at 27. My husband was told he could have it even though he decided not to at 20.
