I'm scheduled to have ICL next week (from -12.0 glasses). I cried when I found out that I was a candidate for ICL, since I wasn't a candidate for Lasik! Thank you for sharing!
@@livlutwyche837 I am beyond thrilled with my new eyes! I was pretty nervous going into surgery, but once they started the sedation, it was all good! Right after surgery I could see well enough to get around on my own, but it was a little cloudy. By the next morning, clouds were gone and I was at 20/25 vision. The following week I was at 20/20. I’ve never had perfect vision, even with my glasses or contacts! I only wish I had done it sooner!
You are the best!! Your language and the way you talk is so clear and appealing. And your knowledge about the experience is great. Very helpful and I’m very excited and no more scared about this procedure. I’m getting ICL very soon🤩 Greetings from Poland
So glad I found these videos of your experience. I've worn glasses since I was 5 and I was gutted today when I was told I wasn't eligible for LASEK. They have told me lens implant surgery is an option and I've been feeling nervous, but this is reassuring!
It's a lifechanger! My LASIK journey was very disappointing, I showed up twice for surgery THAT morning, only to be told my eyes were too dry and the second time they said they were too dry so I couldn't get LASIK at all; I had an actual temper tantrum when I got home. ICL is expensive but no regrets whatsoever, I would rather spend this money to benefit my quality of life than on more material stuff. It's normal to be nervous but honestly it's over before you know it and it's so worth it! Thanks for watching!
@@Inside_Archaeology Totally get that, I had gotten so excited about the prospect of having my eyes fixed that I had a cry in there when they told me today 😂. Totally agree with that too, I've worn glasses since I was 5, so this would honestly be life-changing I think! Thank you for sharing your experience
In Argentina it is so much cheaper, it's going to cost me 3200 usd (one lense is -10 spherical and the other, -9.5 and 1.5 astigmatism).. plus 100 usd for preop studies... The thing is you pay outside the tax system, as usual here. I'm glad you had a great experience!! And awesome financial analysis, as good as a 3rd world analysis haha
Totally get where you were coming from. And I don't mind admitting I even felt a little emotional myself at your relief! I'm 42 and have worn glasses full time since I was 7. Currently at -6.5 and -4.5. The imbalance is a problem in itself. Anyway, how are you getting on a few months later?
my brother went through a lasic surgery 6 years. His eye was also pretty dry but a month of preparation via drops etc. it happened. He's doing fine but when he is a little unable to focus eye to eye with any other person for around 3 years and then now its about 99% fine.(you know that 1% knot is left when you join 2 threads). I hope that you also become fine after this surgery.
I'm in such a tricky situation. From your video it seems like my eyes are as bad as yours were before ICL. I had three consultations so far over the years. One doctor strongly recommended ICL over PRK. The other doctor suggested PRK as it is not as incisive as ICL is. He was concerned about infections from ICL. The third doctor said you can get either but the quality of vision would be better with ICL. My quest doesn't seem to end.
I've never been suggested for PRK so I can't really compare but I will say that ICL was amazing, I followed my doctors orders very closely so had no post-op complications and my surgeon was one of the top eye surgeons in the UK so I think as long as you have a good doctor you have good chances but it is different for everyone. Thanks for watching!
@@rebeccawiltshire7863 It went good! Made a video about it as well if you want to check it out :) Had to do it 3 times cause there was something wrong but I'm really happy with the result.
Happy for you Rachel and thanks so much for such an informative sharing. Do you know what company produces the ICL? (In my city Shanghai, it is a US-listed company called STAAR.)
I'm about to go for a consultation tomorrow for an evo visian ICL with +6.75 and +5.75 and mild astigmatism. I was brutally rejected by lasik because my prescription for farsightedness is too strong.
Hi. Thank you for your very informative videos. I have - 9.75 and - 10.75 prescription and got my private consultation next week to see if I'm suitable for ICL surgery. Praying to god I am. Had over 30 years of wearing glasses and contact lenses and had enough.
No I wasn't sedated. They can't really 'put you under' because they're operating on your eye so it has to be open ergo you can't be 'asleep'. Also the surgery is only 15 minutes so it's not really worth it. They did say they sometimes gave people something to help calm them down (like a valium) if they were super anxious but they prefer not to because a) the opiod crisis and b) it means that person has to stay at the hospital until the sedation wears off and especially right now they don't want people staying there longer than necessary. It might be different at your doctor but it doesn't hurt to ask. It's not as bad as you think it is, a nurse held my hand the first time and they were talking to me throughout the whole thing and it was over super fast. I just concentrated on my breathing and making sure it was even. Hope your surgery goes well!
Hi, i had my surgery on both eyes last Friday i see very clear except on monitor or laptop, i see blurry and i feel uncomfortable to stay in front a monitor. Did you think Is normal? Also i feel dry eyes during the day
Hi Rachel. I plan to undergo this surgery next month. Measurements are taken. Doctor Will place the order tomorrow. I wanted to check, how do you feel now, since it's been few months. Thank you.
I feel fantastic! It was definitely worth the money, the only downside is I now cry when I cut onions whereas before my contacts somehow kept them from affecting my eyes. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! I am considering ICL and it was super helpful. When you said you had dry eyes, did you have symptoms that were problematic both before and after the surgery? Do you still have the plugs in your tear holes to help with that? I have very dry eyes and am wondering if I can have the ICL and plugs at the same time
My tear duct plugs never lasted so I can't comment on having them and ICL. I noticed that my eyes weren't nearly so dry after the surgery because I wasn't wearing contacts anymore (they tend to dry out your eyes). Laser eye surgery tends to make your eyes more dry but ICL either doesn't affect dryness or it tends to get better. Your optician/surgeon should be able to advise on what is best for you but in my experience if you have dry eyes they won't consider you for laser. Thanks for watching!
My prescription is -9.75 with 2.5 D of astigmatism so if I wanted Toric ICL implants it will cost me ~$6,500 USD PER EYE so I have been trying to do as much research as possible before going forward with the surgery 😭 Thank you for your video! I feel your pain with the dry eyes and high Rx 😔
@treezy they are approved in the US! I'm in NY. They are newer though, the regular ICL has been approved longer. Originally I was supposed to go Toronto, Canada for ICL surgery but the border is still closed :/
Glad things are working for you. I do have a question that I'm not sure if you answered in a video yet. Since I'm joining the military and they have a program to pay for my archeology degree, I was wondering if you would recommend an online degree just to make things easier in case I deploy and can't make it to class. That way I could do the online work no matter what country I'm in. I'm planning on trying to get in contact with schools that offer such programs so I can ask questions about how I would go about things like field school and other things I need to physically do, but wanted to get your thoughts.
Personally I've never done online classes so I can't really comment on how good they are for your case. I really enjoyed going to class and participating in the discussions. As for how you'd work in field school you'd have to ask the schools you're lookin at about that. I will say that fieldwork is essential and the more you can do during shcool the better. You can only learn so much about the theory, you need to be able to put it into practice to get a good grasp of the concepts. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@Inside_Archaeology Thanks for the advice. I plan on trying to set my fieldwork periods on times when I won't have military obligations for long stretches since I'm doing reserves (part time). And I'll definitely ask the schools I'm interested in about if I could be accommodated when in the case that I could be deployed. I hope that my engineering military MOS and access to some of the tools can help to give me an advantage in the field of archeology so I can have a successful career. Keep up the good work. Happy to have found your channel and received such advice. You have been such an inspiration to me.
Thank god you did not go for Lasik at that time because I have a similar condition. My cornea is not thick enough to do Lasik and I got it checked 3 years ago and they told me that ICL is my only option. I am thinking of doing ICL Surgery this year.
Yeah I'm quite relieved I got ICL. I've just posted a post-op update if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
I am considering ICL and my tests are going on right now. I wear contacts. Quick question: how many days prior to the surgery u need to take off the contact lenses? Like for cornea check up, 7 days prior we have to remove them.
Please make an update almost a year later do you have any complications seeing double or seeing glares/Halos ?? Dry eyes or anything. I am considering going to a consultation because I have horrible vision. However I have EXTREME anxiety and super nervous just thinking about surgery on my eyes I was always the worse patient at the eye doctor when I was younger I would scream and cry every appointment lasted forever! I really need a solution.
I've just posted an ICL update video here: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html It is a stressful thing to get but it was totally worth it. I wasn't sedated for my surgery and you can't really get 'put under' since your eyes need to be open for the surgery. However I was told that if people are really nervous they might be able to get something to help calm them down but that means they have to stay at the hospital for longer after so they can be observed. Thanks for watching!
I’m not a candidate for Lasik and PRK either. Dr. recommended to me the ICL surgery instead. I also has astigmatism, do you think it’ll help? He said the best options is in Europe, can you give me the information of which doctor and the clinic where did you got yours done? I appreciate very much!
I got mine done at LaserVision Scotland in Edinburgh. I had (have?) a mild astigmatism in one of my eyes and that wasn't a barrier for me. Thanks for watching!
I am looking forward to do ICL.. Q. Can I do bungee jumping, scuba or other adventurous rides or it may affect ocular pressure or may damage the lens?? Q. Any further special care tips after ICL on short/ long term basis.. Thank U for making these vdos..Very helpful..✌🏻
Hi, I have a follow up video 10 months post op which might help you out: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html As for the rest of your questions your best off asking a surgeon/opthamologist, I'm not a doctor so I don't know the answer and I don't do any of those activities. Thanks for watching!
I have dry neyes and allergy too so is this surgery it will work for me or it is dengerous for my eye ? Becouse my eyes are always tired and red ! I already did the test and all that they told u could do it here in France so what do u think ?
Thank you for posting this video. I'm a -9, -8 and was just told by my eye doc today that I'm a better candidate for ICL than Lasik. I hadn't heard of ICL before today. I see this video was from May. How are your eyes now?
They're fantastic! No problems with healing and able to see the next day, that being said it could be slightly different for you as everyone has a different experience but honestly it was worth all the money. Thanks for watching!
My eye sight is -10.5 each. Dr Maria: "I am saying Three Times NO NO NO, there is a .01% risk of glaucoma. No ICL no Lasik for you. My clinic result is 100% success i dont want to spoil it. ME: :-( now i am just scared to see other doctors.
I found your channel because, I’m 17, going into senior year of HS, and I’m interested in archaeology/anthropology as a career in the future, what do you think one should major in in college to become an archaeologist? Is a PhD necessary or is Bachelors what’s needed? Oh yeah and do archaeologists travel a lot?
Hi, if you wtch my video 'Becoming an archaeologist; do you need a degree?' this should help answer your questions! Yes we travel quite a bit, I have gone to the Middle East, Bulgaria, and all over Britain for archaeology; however only the Britain travel was paid for because I was employed, the rest was on my own dime. Thanks for watching!
I do have halos but after about 6 months I don't really notice them anymore. It all depends on the lighting, they are most noticable with direct lighting that's shining into your face, so for example car lights when you're driving at night. But like I said it doesn't keep you from driving or doing anything and after a while you stop noticing them so much. Thanks for watching!
Nope! They run in my family so I'll probably get them as some point anyway and I'd probably just get a new lens put in since cataract surgery is very similar to ICL. Thanks for watching!
if i want to choose a girl to spent rest of my life with, its you rachel, i don't know but i fell in love with your personality, every time i see you in your videos i fell calm and happy, thank you!
My long distance vision was fixed (so I can see things that are far away) but I haven't had problems with my short distance vision so there was no need to have it corrected. Thanks for watching!
Between this video and my 10 month post-op follow up I don't really have any more information about the surgery to tell. You are best contacting an optical surgeon or opthamoligst who does the procedure and asking them. I'm also not a medical professional so I probably can't answer your questions anyway. My surgery update can be watched here: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
@@R4PT0zZ Hi Phil, yes it went well if I’m honest. I was in and out within 1 hour and the whole thing was painless. It was just very uncomfortable whilst the procedure is taking place. Bright light and fair bit of pressure, but it only lasted 5 mins and he was done. My right eye is being done next Wednesday so it’s annoying having to use one eye all week, I’m wearing a patch over right eye. Left eye feels very up to standard now. I’d definitely recommend at the moment. If anything changes I’ll re-comment. I went with Optimax in Leicester.

Where did she get the surgery? Does anyone know the surgeons name, thank you! X
It was at LaserVision Scotland outside Edinburgh, Dr Mantray. Thanks for watching!
I had my surgery today, my eye is hurting so much when I move it around.. is this normal?
I don't know, if you have concerns please speak to your surgeon who will be able to help better than me. Hope it all gets sorted, thanks for watching.
I found your channel because, I’m 17, going into senior year of HS, and I’m interested in archaeology/anthropology as a career in the future, what do you think one should major in in college to become an archaeologist? Is a PhD necessary or is Bachelors what’s needed? Oh yeah and do archaeologists travel a lot?
Hi, if you wtch my video 'Becoming an archaeologist; do you need a degree?' this should help answer your questions! Yes we travel quite a bit, I have gone to the Middle East, Bulgaria, and all over Britain for archaeology; however only the Britain travel was paid for because I was employed, the rest was on my own dime. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I'm thinking to have ICL, do you have any halos during night ? I have reading and they say it's quite common to see halo/circles during night?
I do have halos but after about 6 months I don't really notice them anymore. It all depends on the lighting, they are most noticable with direct lighting that's shining into your face, so for example car lights when you're driving at night. But like I said it doesn't keep you from driving or doing anything and after a while you stop noticing them so much. Thanks for watching!
Yo, how much prescription history did you have to give?
Hi, my prescription is in the video and it's stayed the same for about 10 years before I got the surgery. Thanks for watching!
Are you afraid of getting cataracts way sooner than normal?
Nope! They run in my family so I'll probably get them as some point anyway and I'd probably just get a new lens put in since cataract surgery is very similar to ICL. Thanks for watching!
Is it better to get icl surgery before or after you get pregnant 🤔
I don't know you should ask your doctor/surgeon, thanks for watching!
if i want to choose a girl to spent rest of my life with, its you rachel, i don't know but i fell in love with your personality, every time i see you in your videos i fell calm and happy, thank you!
Creepy
Lol
I had iCl 7 months ago but am still bothered about the halos. How long will it take for them to disappear?
Hi, can you read from close distance?? Do you see clearly from close distance tiny little texts/objects ?
My long distance vision was fixed (so I can see things that are far away) but I haven't had problems with my short distance vision so there was no need to have it corrected. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I answered this question in my latest video: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html
Hi, could I contact you provately please? I have very strong myopia and need to go into details regarding ICL lenses
Between this video and my 10 month post-op follow up I don't really have any more information about the surgery to tell. You are best contacting an optical surgeon or opthamoligst who does the procedure and asking them. I'm also not a medical professional so I probably can't answer your questions anyway. My surgery update can be watched here: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching!
Can we get coloured contact lenses transplant
I've answered this question in my latest video, an update on my eyes 10 months post-op: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Just booked ICL for May -5th Thanks for video
You're welcome, good luck! Thanks for watching!
how did it go? Im thinking about getting it done, too!
@@R4PT0zZ Hi Phil, yes it went well if I’m honest. I was in and out within 1 hour and the whole thing was painless.
It was just very uncomfortable whilst the procedure is taking place. Bright light and fair bit of pressure, but it only lasted 5 mins and he was done. My right eye is being done next Wednesday so it’s annoying having to use one eye all week, I’m wearing a patch over right eye.
Left eye feels very up to standard now.
I’d definitely recommend at the moment. If anything changes I’ll re-comment.
I went with Optimax in Leicester.
@@davidwoods1648 Thanks for the reply! I'm glad it went well and i hope, that your other eye will also be done successfully!
Hello

Thannks for watching!
And do you know if rubbing eyes is allowed any time after the surgery, say after month or two. And wouldn't it affect lens positioning 🤔
Hi, I answered this question in my latest video: th-cam.com/video/2GM5wNvGfOw/w-d-xo.html
Can plz review after 9 months exprence of icl

Hi Rachel my friend has found some old coins under her house... On the coin there is a picture of King George 6 British emperor
That's pretty cool, depending on where she lvies she'd be best contacting her local authority to see what she can do with them. Thanks for watching!
