Due to my severe <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/myopia-laser-eye-surgery\/\">short-sightedness<\/a> and the fact that my cornea is of normal thickness, I was advised to have <a href=\"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/lens-implantation-vienna\/\">an intraocular lens implanted<\/a>.<br \/>\n was suggested. And after a lot of consideration, I decided to go for it because it seemed to be the best option for me. Now, postoperatively, I can say that I am happy with it, yes. I have had two contact lenses implanted in my eye, in addition to the natural lens. I no longer have glasses, I no longer wear contact lenses, I no longer have any foreign bodies and I can see clearly. At the last examination we had 150% vision, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen so clearly in my life. I have to say that I had no post-operative pain, just a slight feeling of pressure in my head, which is of course normal after the operation. After all, there was some manipulation and implantation, but the pain was gone relatively quickly. I experienced sensitivity to light for about two to three days. This has now almost disappeared. I still wear the suggested sunglasses, but I am as sensitive to light as I was for the first two or three days, which has passed quickly. Apart from that, I have no other problems with my eyes. I don&#8217;t have a foreign body sensation, I don&#8217;t feel anything when I sleep, it doesn&#8217;t irritate me. It&#8217;s as if these lenses were doing their work latently and I wouldn&#8217;t even notice that they were there. Before I had the problem with contact lenses that I noticed that I could feel the lenses every time I blinked. That used to be a problem. The second is that they move, which is also annoying when visualizing if you always notice that the lenses are wobbling. You get used to it, but it&#8217;s always a problem. With the current implants, I don&#8217;t notice anything at all, my vision is sharp all the time. Glasses were never an option for me, I always had environmental nausea when I moved around, the blurring always made me nauseous. With the lenses I have total vision all around, it&#8217;s all sharp. It&#8217;s not like with the hard lenses, where the image wobbles, but everything is steady, everything is straight. That&#8217;s also something that bothered me incredibly with the glasses, simply that the whole image is so distorted with 11 diopters. With the lenses, everything is tip-top. I can see everything clearly throughout. I&#8217;m already looking forward to my vacation in a month&#8217;s time. We&#8217;re going to Thailand, to a nice vacation resort, and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what the optics are like there. The next thing is, of course, my wife is looking forward to it too. She&#8217;s always thought I had beautiful eyes and now she thinks I&#8217;m even more handsome. The other thing, a little joke on the side, as I haven&#8217;t seen her so sharply before, she was always able to dart into the bathroom quickly in the morning, freshen up and then I saw her looking tip-top. Now, of course, she fears that I might see her in all her beauty in the morning. But that&#8217;s also a positive side effect. Yes, with the diopter I had and the options available to me, I would definitely say yes. There weren&#8217;t many other options for me, and I&#8217;m so happy with the result that I can say: &#8220;Yes, I could recommend this to someone without hesitation.&#8221;   &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience report: Phakic lens implantation at EyeLaser Vienna.<br \/>\nAn EyeLaser patient reports on his experience.<br \/>\nLearn more&#8230;  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[207],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-laser-eye-surgery-testimonials"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28773\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eyelaser.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
