Implantable Contact Lenses/Refractive lens exchange.

Just wondering if anyone has had either of these procedures? There is also Clear Lens Exchange (forgot to add this to the title).

I'm also interested in the cost of either surgery as I'm seriously considering either procedure (whichever is suitable).

Why are you considering this proceedure as opposed to regular refractive lazer surgery?

because I'm unsuitable for laser surgery due to my high prescription. These produres are my only options.

OK. What you are talking about is the same as cataract removal surgery. If you google cataract surgery you should be able to get plenty of info regarding risks and problems. It is a bigger deal than refractive lazer surgery. Also you will loose your "accomodation" - the ability to automatically refocus from far to near, so will need reading glasses. On the plus side you won't get cataracts when you get older....

I recommend Clarivu, it's a brilliant alternative to laser eye surgery!
