Request for information—Visian Implantable Contact Lens

We photographers rely on our eyes to make decisions when making images as well as assessing them later.

With my contact lenses at -9.0 diopters and glasses at -11 diopters, and too many late nights spend preparing this blog and various articles, I’ve grown weary of contact lenses, and so I’m considering modification of my eyes with Visian ICL (Implantable Contact Lens).

If any of you readers out there have firsthand experience with Visian ICL, I’d very much like to hear from you (info at diglloyd.com). Side effects, acuity, color perception, nighttime vision, etc are all of interest. I’ve read the marketing materials which of course have nothing but glowing recommendations. One can discuss the procedure with an ophthalmologist, but nothing beats hearing from real people who can describe their actual results.

For anybody interested in visual issues, you might find ophthalmologist Blake Shaw’s Eye Didn’t Know blog a good read.
