Lasik Icl
Anyone had an IOL implated or Lasik for sever myopia?
My Rx is -12 and -10.75 (nearsightedness/ severe myopia) Yes, I have a stigmatism in both eyes. I’m 23 & have called around to all the Doctors but am hesitant to be screened because I’m scared I’ll be told I’m just not a candidate.
Lasik seems to run about 4000$ in my area.
IOL/ICL implants run about 9000-10000$ and also run the risk of needing additional lasik at a reduced cost of 700-1000$ an eye for adjustments.
I know what myopia is, I know how bad my Rx is, I know what each surgery entails… but I can’t find real life information from people that have been there.
I would prefer lasik but I think my Rx is too severe and that I wont have enough cornea to be able to remove as much as I need.
**anyone w/ severe myopia that has had either of these corrective procedures have any advice or stories to share?**
I do not know of anyone who has been treated for myopia as severe as yours. I found a website where a person with a similar situation describes how he had it treated and the results.
