Also an ICL recipient here! Little under a year ago! I've been LOVING not having glasses!
This surgery is SO fucking quick, like, I was in an out from start to finish in like ~20 mins, and I had zero pain afterwards.
While you were in the procedure did it look like you were looking through a kaleidoscope too? Because thats the only way I can think to describe that shit. It was trippy.
My cousin had his done for like $3000 several years ago. No issues. He actually has surprisingly good vision.
Wasn't considering lasik, and now never will after watching final destination 5 (if you know what I'm talking about)
And I didn't even watch the actual scene, I had to cover my eyes and skip forward and even the hearing the dialogue before and after made me feel like... Ewwww I hated it.
Idk why I even watched these movies, I should've just read the wiki and noped out.
I dunno, after having family get it done, I'm not scared of it, but I'm also not going to get it done until I'm a bit older, and only if it gets covered by Medicaid or something.
Even then, I'd still need glasses what with presbyopia, but at least I could do without for normal vision and only need reading glasses.
Assuming it went well.
But, everyone I know that's had it ends up needing glasses around the 15 year mark. I wouldn't even be 70 at that point, and I have no fucking desire to go back to glasses at that age.
So I doubt I'll ever get it done.
