Both eyes had ultra-high myopia, around -10, and I had astigmatism, but it wasn’t severe enough to need correction. My corneas were thin and I had ultra-high myopia, so from the start every hospital said LASIK and LASEK weren’t possible. So implantable contact lens surgery was my only option, and I had surgery one eye per day, split over two days. . Throughout the surgery, the doctor explained the whole surgical process, like “Right now, I’m doing this step,” so I wouldn’t feel nervous. That helped me a lot! It was my first eye surgery, so I was really scared, but since I knew what was happening while receiving it, I definitely felt less tense..
I already tended to have dry eye before surgery, so I don’t think it got worse or anything after surgery. The ring phenomenon that many people mention as a side effect was only there in the beginning, and now it’s nothing at all! It’s a surgery that truly raised my quality of life dramatically, so I highly recommend it. Right after surgery, my binocular visual acuity was about 1.0 and 0.9, and now I think it’s about 0.8 to 0.7~~! They also took steady care of me afterward up to 1 month and 6 months. But the doctor who sees me for outpatient visits now isn’t the doctor who did the surgery; the duty doctor sees me.
