I really regret my Intacs. My treatment was an absolute disaster, the Intacs partially came out once they'd implanted and I was left in agony by my surgeon for months. Since having them removed my vision has not retuned to the state it was in pre-surgery and I can no longer see well enough to work with glasses.

Fortunately I contacted Lynn White (www.lwvc.co.uk) and she has managed to overcome my extremely challenging shaped eyes and has got me seeing very comfortably and well in soft contact lenses. Needless to say I am a tad happy at the moment!

So – If I had the chance to go back in time, I would have C3R and then contact lenses, but would avoid Intacs at any cost.

:D
