Asked By:sandeep0544 in North Carolina, NC

Hi all, I have dry eyes and headaches after ICL Surgery. I had ICL surgery 3 years back and I don't have any problem till last year when migraine headaches started. Those headaches will come and goes but my eyes pain will stays ever I could not able to do any daily activities(like watching TV, phone and reading paper). I have contacted more than 20 ophthalmology doctors approximately everyone is saying my eyes are perfectly fine even ICL lens are in good condition.

I had an ICL surgery a month ago. I had very clear vision for 10 days and then blurry vision after. Can it be corrected?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

It depends on the cause of the vision change. It's better to see your surgeon earlier than later if you are having issues. Make an appointment to see them so 1) they can find the cause and 2) treat the cause of your issue.

23 years old. I have undergone ICL surgery for both the eyes around 1 year ago. Can I do threading of my eyebrows?
Lee Katzman, MD says:

Yes, there is no problem with your request. You can safely undergo eyebrow threading 1 year after ICL surgery. In fact, it is probably safe at month 1 or 2 after surgery.
