Lasik Vs Implantable Contact Lenses
I just heard about Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) and how they are reversible. Is there anything that would make me a better candidate for ICL over LASIK? Do many ODs perform this procedure?
A: Candidates for ICL over LASIKICL's are approved for correcting myopia (near-sightedness). High amounts of myopia and/or thin corneas are usually the primary reason for preferring ICLs over LASIK among refractive surgeons (MDs). While ICLs are technically reversible, it would require another surgical procedure to remove them and it would be hard to argue that the eye is in the exact same condition following two intraocular surgeries as it was prior to the surgeries. Perhaps the greatest concern for ICL implantation would be the development of cataracts due to proximity of the implant to the patient's natural lens. ICL patients are among the most satisfied patients in a practice due to their high prescriptions prior to surgery and the generally high quality of vision following treatment.
Could Laser Eye Color Surgery Work?
I saw this on around the net -- a dr in LA says he's developed a laser to permanently turn brown eyes blue. Based on your experience with eyes, is this truly possible? Is it safe??

A: Laser treatment to change Iris ColorActually, I believe it was a lawyer who patented the idea of changing the eye color through a laser procedure and not a medical doctor. Until this procedure undergoes FDA clinical trials that demonstrate it as safe and effective, it would be wise to avoid an off-label use of the laser for this purpose. In the future, it might be accepted by the medical community but it would require rigorous testing first.
