After ICL and Lasik, my vision isn't as good as when I wore glasses. I've taken to wearing glasses that my eye doctor has told me I don't actually need so that I can read signs in the distance. In addition, I used to have amazing near vision. When I'd work on small projects, I could see them amazing well. Now I have to hold things almost at arm's length to focus on them well. I was told that it would get better as my eyes strengthen, but it hasn't really changed much in the years since the surgery. To compound things, I'm about 40 years old and my near vision is now deteriorating anyhow. I was warned about this and fully expected it, but the other problem wasn't something I was warned about. I also knew that my vision was bad enough that Lasik wasn't good enough and would weaken my eyes too much, and so ICL was used with Lasik to fine-tune it. I did know to expect my vision might not be 100% perfect. In short, I now get to wear much lighter, cheaper glasses when I want to see far in the distance, and wear no glasses at all for most day-to-day things. But I have trouble reading at less than 2/3 arm's length. If I were given the opportunity to choose differently, I might choose to keep my money instead and continue to wear glasses. I'm not angry, but I'm certainly not fully satisfied with the procedure.
