  • Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)
  • Posted: 2009-11-10 22:12:17 By Jason C
  • Hi, this is my first time posting msg on this board. i am from Singapore and i have RP since a kid and fortunately my vision is still good for me to do things independently including going out at night. of course, there are a few restriction like going to nightclub and cinema alone where i will be totally lost. i have been wearing contact lens and specs since young and recently came across this ICL procedure. i am not sure if anyone has even consulted a doctor on this and if it is suitable for patients with RP. Since this is like placing a permanent contact lens into your eyes and the procedure can be reversed easily, i am not sure if this will be good for the eys. apparently, i have consulted doctors for LASIK and none of them advised for it. i wonder if this can be an alternative to Lasik.
    Regards,
