    I had ICL surgery with strong astigmatism and nearsightedness - I feel like I cannot see details of trees and fine lines like I did before with my glasses. It is honestly more than a little disappointing. I wonder if I gave the right verbal cues to my optometrist when they got the refraction measurements prior to making the lenses.

      That super sucks! I had to go in a second time right around the month mark to have one of the lenses corrected because it shifted slightly. In and out in ~10 mins. Do you think that could be a possible option for you?

        That’s something to consider, thank you! It’s been since the summer, and I also got a new prescription for glasses to wear when I need to do detail work like pest scouting in agriculture or check out cultured bacterial colonies. I haven’t had them made yet though, since honestly the ICL vision is pretty good, just different than I’ve been used to for my entire life. :P
